St Petersburg Restaurants

  1. Korovabar

    In case you could not tell from the Holstein décor, korova means 'cow'. And this so-called cow-bar milks this theme for all its worth. Cow hides hang from the ceilings and adorn the booths. Yet somehow, it works: the place is way more hip than it is hokey. The sophisticated menu features an excellent selection of steaks, among other things, and an incredible wine list. And if all that black and white has you longing for greener pastures, take a seat on the pleasant porch.

  2. Russian Fishing

    History has it that this was Prince Menshikov's favourite fishing ground. The folks at Russian Fishing want you to be able to experience the same joy as the prince, so when you arrive you will be given a rod and some bait and you can (hopefully) catch your own dinner. The pond is stocked with trout, sterlet and other types of sturgeon (but only expert fishers can be picky about their choice); the chef will bake, smoke or grill your catch to order.

  3. Yakitoriya

    With its efficient service and excellent fresh fish, it's easy to see why this chain has been so successful in St Petersburg and - indeed - across the country. This location off Nevsky pr is the most central of several locations. It features an actual sushi bar, which is ideal for solo diners. The woody interior is slick and modern, with a slightly upscale atmosphere.
