St. Petersburg (RU)
5. April 2015: Restaurant Gogol
The last evening in St. Petersburg was one to remember – it started with “delicious liqueur made from fresh forest raspberry” (140 RUB) which sounded nice but it was a pretty regular shot. At first I thought they had only served one tiny bread for the entire table (of four) until I realized it was […]
5. April 2015: Tsarskoselsky Present Café @ Catherine Palace
Given there is absolutely nothing close to the Catherine Palace in Pushkin I went for something traditionally Russian in the Café in the palace. Probably not really the place I’d choose if I have had a choice but given the circumstances they weren’t many other options left. The “pastry with cheese and meat” (300 RUB) […]
4. April 2015: Restaurant Царь (Tsar)
The “veal warm salad (boiled potatoes, eggplants, cherry tomatoes, veal slices, cilantro, mustard, mayonnaise)” (690 RUB) was of an intense taste but in a very pleasant way. The combination of the tomatoes, eggplants and the mustard and mayonnaise with the warm veal was really mouth-watering. The “meat pie” (120 RUB) on the other hand was […]
4. April 2015: Food Hall Kupetz Eliseevs
After randomly wandering around St. Petersburg we passed a place called “Food Hall Kupetz Eliseevs” which is basically a delicacy market where you can also sit down and enjoy a cup of tea and some macaroons (or anything else they offer there). The “fruit macaroons” (480 RUB) – you are free to pick any from […]
4. April 2015: Счастье Bar
The “Счастье Bar” is definitely worth a visit as it has a very cozy and artsy enterior. I walked by a couple of times as it is located between the W hotel and the next metro station and at all times, the Счастье Bar was very crowded so I decided to give it a try […]
4. April 2015: Breakfast Restaurant @ W Hotel St. Petersburg
I was so positive about my stay at the W – due to the location, the friendliness of the staff, the quality of the bar, the service, the amenities, everything. Until I had breakfast. The selection is quite nice (especially given that some things are rationed and, therefore, often not available in other hotels, e.g. […]
3. April 2015: Restaurant Russian Vodkaroom No. 1
My first real Russian food experience was a very pleasant one. After some online research I had stumbled upon the “Russian Vodkaroom No. 1” which sounded great. But given I had no clue about Russian cuisine beforehand I was a bit sceptical. And I was so wrong! The selection of small and not so small […]
3. April 2015: Living Room @ W St. Petersburg
The Living Room in the W St. Petersburg is worth a visit if you are somewhere close. The setup of the bar is really like being in a living room with the respectively comfortable sofas and the like. The “Meat Packing (Russian standard vodka, Galliano, Martini Bianco, Lemon Juice)” (700 RUB) is a good drink […]
