Lonely Planet review for Aquarel

Aquarel combines a wonderful setting with fantastic fusion cuisine. Indeed, this is the place that pioneered fusion cuisine in the city, and the kitchen continues to artfully combine Russian, Mediterranean and Asian elements into some uniquely delicious dishes. This food fest takes place on a slickly decked-out boat, moored on the Neva River, offering amazing views of the façade of the Hermitage and the lights of Birzhevoy most. Unfortunately, service can be snooty and – even worse – slow, which is unacceptable for an otherwise high-class (and high-price) joint. There is a cheaper café on the top floor serving pasta and pizza and other simple fare.

    Aquarel closed - Okean to open soon

    onurb76 recommends this,

    Aquarel closed some time ago but I heard they will re-open under the name Okean. Whereas the old version was kind of pricy Okean will serve honest food at democratic rates. The view is great and in summer the terrace is one of the best places in town to relax and enjoy sun, food and drinks. Best thing about it is that there is always space for groups and its walking distance from the Hermitage. I wish the people at Okean all the best!
