1. Abrikosov
$$ | City Center |At this soothing place to take a break with a good view of Nevsky prospekt, you can enjoy coffee, ice cream, and scrumptious cakes, or a whole range of traditional Russian and European dishes. Out of the Russian menu try borscht (beetroot soup) with sour cream or pickled herring and mushrooms. In summer Abrikosov offers an open terrace.

2. Bistro Garçon
$$ | Vladimirskaya |Nevsky prospekt is St. Petersburg's version of a Parisian boulevard, and this comfortable, Parisian-style bistro fits right in. From the first bite of baguette you'll be transported, and the seasonably changing menu is full of soups, mussels, quiches, and other bistro favorites. With fluffy omelets, buttery croissants, and good strong coffee, the breakfast here is one of the best in the city.

3. Bizet
$$ | Vladimirskaya |A youngish bohemian crowd flocks to this café furnished in pastel greens and creams and famous for its airy meringues—the Bizet, with chopped almonds and garnished with fresh raspberries, is especially popular. Some good soups and about a dozen salads are also available.
41 ul. Zhukovskogo, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 191014, Russia812-702--7738Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
4. Caravan
$$ | Admiralteisky |The stuffed camel, Turkish carpets, and sizzling kebabs prepared in the middle of the room create an exotic ambiance in which to enjoy what many aficionados consider to be the best Middle Eastern food in St. Petersburg. Whatever the variety of kebab you choose, begin a meal with kutab, a lightly fried pocket of dough filled with shrimp, pumpkin, or cheese.
46 Voznesensky pr., St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 190068, Russia812-571--2880Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
5. Coffeehouse
$$ | City Center |Starbucks clones have sprung up on almost every corner in St. Petersburg, and many belong to the Coffeehouse chain. At any you can grab a good and inexpensive lunch with soup, salad, and coffee or tea, and a full range of reasonably well-made coffee drink is available.

6. Freeman's
$$ | City Center |Behind an unassuming facade down a quiet side street off Nevsky prospekt is this warm and comforting room that might transport you to Italy or the South of France, as will the cuisine. Updated versions of classic Mediterranean dishes include some inventive, simply prepared fish dishes, such as tuna with pesto and scallops with figs. The menu varies, as the chef selects from what's freshest at the market.
8 ul. Kazanskaya, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 191186, Russia812-312--0540 -
7. Idiot
$$ | City Center |A favorite among St. Petersburg expatriates, this restaurant serves hearty vegetarian Russian food, good seafood, and nice Italian coffee. The background music leans heavily on Charles Aznavour, Louis Armstrong, and Ella Fitzgerald. Add occasional art exhibits, chess and backgammon sets, and a small library, and you have several excuses to linger.
82 nab. Moika, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 190000, Russia812-946--5173-information -
8. Jean-Jacques
$$ | Petrograd Side |Mirrored walls, red and mahogany furnishings, and tables topped with paper provide an authentic bistro ambience, a perfect setting for a classic French meal of onion soup, steak and bordelaise sauce, and crème brûlée. Fine wines are available by the glass, and attentive servers will help you with your choice. Seating is limited to only 25 people, so it's advisable to come early for dinner or take advantage of the excellent lunch, served from noon to 4 pm.
2/54 ul. Gatchinskaya, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 197198, Russia812-232--9981Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
9. LeChaim
$$ | Admiralteisky |The kosher cuisine, served in the spacious basement of St. Petersburg's Great Choral Synagogue, is as popular with a nonreligious crowd as it is with dietary adherents. Such favorites as chicken schnitzel and trout fillet wrapped in grape leaves are served in generous portions and at very reasonable prices. Keep in mind that the restaurant can be difficult to find, since the doorway is discreetly marked, and is often booked for weddings and other events that take place in the synagogue, so call ahead.
2 Lermontovsky pr., St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 190121, Russia812-572--5616Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No credit cards, Closed Sat. -
10. Marcelli's
$$ | Vladimirskaya |An unpretentious dining room decorated with Italian knickknacks and bare wooden tables is a good choice for an inexpensive lunch or post-theater dinner of pasta and salad (it's open until midnight). For an Italian shopping experience, stop at the retail counter to stock up on imported cheeses, cold meats, and coffees.
15 ul. Vosstaniya, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 191036, Russia812-986--9111Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
11. Pushka Inn
$$ | City Center |The extensive menu includes blini (pancakes) with caviar, homemade pelmeni (meat dumplings), borscht, and vareniki (a Ukrainian dish—dumplings filled with all kinds of stuffing, such as cabbage, cherries, and mushrooms). The name is both a play on Pushkin's name and the Russian word for cannon—which explains the military-theme paintings and the miniature cannon near the entrance.
14 nab. Moika, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 191186, Russia812-314--0663-Table Reservation -
12. Russkaya Rybalka
$$ | Kirov Islands |The gimmick at "Russian Fishing" is that you catch your own dinner. It's set in a charming wooden house overlooking a lake full of trout and beluga sturgeon. Tackle, bait, and expert advice are provided, and your catch is prepared before you on the grill. The place even operates during winter when the lake is frozen solid—the restaurant breaks up the ice so sections are still fishable. There are several other options on the menu as well, including a baked eggplant dish that is memorable.
11 Yuzhnaya doroga, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 197110, Russia812-633--0200Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: No credit cards -
13. Tandoor
$$ | City Center |Waiters dressed in traditional costumes and soft embroidered shoes move soundlessly in this comfortable and quiet little place across the street from St. Isaac's Cathedral. Reliable Indian classics such as those served here were hard to find in St. Petersburg before the downfall of the USSR. A generous business lunch is an especially good deal and includes a vegetarian option.
10 Admiralteysky pr., St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 190000, Russia812-312--3886Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
14. Tbiliso
$$ | Petrograd Side |A lot of thought was put into creating this busy and authentic Georgian restaurant, which evokes the atmosphere of old Tbilisi, the capital of Russia's southern neighbor. There may be political tensions between the nations these days, but Russians' love affair with Georgian cuisine, from lobio (bean salad) and grilled meat and fish shashlyks (shish kebabs) to lavash (flat bread) and khatchapuri (cheese-filled bread), remains passionate. Tbiliso satisfies this appetite and then some, with servers in national costume and a Georgian choir to serenade diners. If you visit only one Georgian restaurant in St. Petersburg, make it this one.
10 ul. Sytninskaya, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 197101, Russia812-232--9391Restaurant Details
Rate Includes: Credit cards accepted -
15. Teplo
$$ | Admiralteisky |The name means "warmth" in Russian and this popular spot does indeed make guests feel warm all over, with a country house atmosphere (a fire blazes and the main dining room is lined with bookshelves) and menu laden with cozy, expertly made classics, such as marinated beets, salted herring, meat pies, and borscht. The signature dish is a warm salad of juicy chicken livers and crispy strips of bacon surrounded by salad leaves, cherry tomatoes, and herby croutons. The three-course-plus-a-drink business lunch is an excellent value, and accordingly popular.
45 ul. Bolshaya Morskaya, St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 190000, Russia812-570--1974Restaurant Details

16. Teremok
$$ | City Center |Don't be put off by the spartan setting: the owners penny-pinch only on furnishings and presentation. Cooked in front of your eyes, their famous blinis are deservedly considered to be the best in town. Stuffed with mushrooms, ham, pork, grilled chicken, cream, honey, and a dozen other fillings, they're rich in flavor and never over- or underdone, always tasting just as your Russian mom might have made them. A single blini is so rich and hefty that it may leave you stuffed, so be conservative when you order. Teremok also operates a chain of 137 venues, including 41 street stands.
60 Nevsky pr., St. Petersburg, St.-Petersburg, 191011, Russia812-277--0881Known For
- Blini (definitely the best in town), always cooked to order
- Traditional Russian borscht and kasha
- Lots of associated cafes and kiosks if you can't make it to the original

17. Via dell'Oliva
$$ | City Center |Feta cheese delivered directly from Greece transports you directly to sunnier climes, as does much else about this stone and terra-cotta dining room that seems like the banquet hall of an Italian villa. Assorted souvlaki provide a taste of the Greek isles, while spaghetti carbonara and juicy steaks coud emerge from a trattoria kitchen in Florence. The servers are also international, and multilingual, and live folk music from many countries plays on most nights.

18. Vostochny Ugolok
$$ | City Center |The lamb, herbs, and other ingredients here are laudably fresh, and flown in several times a week from Baku, Azerbaijan. It is easy to get lost in the long menu, but much harder to be disappointed in your choice. Juicy kebabs, chops, and khatchapuri (cheese bread) are served in vast portions—a bowl of soup is a meal in itself. Not as appetizing is the music blaring in the three dining rooms, decorated with oriental carpets, pillows, and pottery.
