French restaurants in St Petersburg

  1. A

    Restaurant Garçon

    New branch for the city’s best-value French restaurant, providing a relaxed Parisienne atmosphere. The chef makes his own foix gras.

    Le Paris

    Sumptuous yet understated, this French restaurant sits just across the Moyka River from the Yusupov Palace. The three rooms include the main wood-panelled dining room and a smaller, simpler wine and cheese tasting room. No matter where you choose to indulge, you will not be disappointed by the excellent French fare and wine list. Apparently, this class act is a favourite with city governor Valentina Matvienko among other local dignitaries. Reservations recommended.

    Les Amis de Jean-Jacques

    You can’t beat this delightful wine bar for eating and drinking like they do in Paris. The menu boasts excellent, affordable bistro fare, including breakfast (served all day on weekends), as well as a huge selection of French wines. The cosy, comfortable interior and the sidewalk seating are equally inviting, so take a seat and pour yourself a glass of Bordeaux.

    Oyster Bar

    Four kinds of oysters are on the menu at this rather unlikely basement bar, along with complementary wines (which your knowledgeable server will recommend) and other seafood specialities. If you are yearning for a truly decadent and ostensibly aphrodisiac experience, look no further.

    Lumiere

    Glam it up to dine beneath thousands of Swarovski crystals at this beautiful French restaurant atop the Grand Palace mall with a panoramic view across Arts Square. The inventive food is equally fabulous.

    Bistrot Garçon

    The original Bistrot Garçon is also open for breakfast, while nearby you can grab delicous pastries at their bakery/café.
