Bliny Domik
8 Kolokolnaya ul
The food was great! I ordered the chicken and mushroom bliny, along with a glass of red wine (for a total of $7.50). Others in my group enjoyed foods such as the salads, borscht, bliny with red caviar, and large tasty croquettes. All of the portions were large and everyone walked away happy with their choices. Our guide, from Saint Petersburg, was quite surprised at how good the restaurant was and said she would take future tourists there. Service was excellent. We were the only tourists in this small place. I would return here in a heartbeat!

Buffet lunch in the Sadko's restaurant of this fine hotel. We had an excellent Russian buffet lunch ($16) located on the busy Grand Nevsky Prospekt Street. Some of the items on the buffet included: cream of mushroom soup, hard boiled eggs, halved and topped with mayonnaise and red caviar, marinated mushrooms, eggplant, herring, smoked salmon, a beef type stew, dumplings, and a nice variety of desserts including bliny’s.
