Cozy homey café / restaurant that serve really great quality food in very reasonable price. For the main dishes, the salmon steak and codfish are fresh and pan-seared to perfection, and the stroganoff was spot on! The waiter and waitress are all speak fluent English and they are very nice. Truly one of the best restaurant I've went in my days spent in St. Petersburg. Worth every rubles. I would return again in Summer! : )

After viewing the St. Isaac's Cathedral we google searched to find restaurants nearby. Teplo gave a rating of 4.7 and a 5 mins walkable distance from the Cathedral. It feels like a quaint little place. The dining furniture and the chairs are different for every table. It may look like a small place when you enter. But it's quite large with a dessert counter and a small play area for the kids. We surely missed the entrance:) We ordered the Bruschetta with mashed chickpea and avocado, Mushroom soup with sour cream, Fried codfish with stewed spinach. All were delicious and the presentation of the dishes were also good. Red Berry drink was yummy. Our 21 months old son also enjoyed it. The staff was friendly and helped with choosing the dishes as per our preferences. There's a small courtyard outside the restaurant with toys and games for the kids to play. It's a great place to be. I would definitely recommnend it and will visit again.

This was my favourite restaurant in St Petersburg. All the food I tried here was delicious, even surprisingly so. The interior is unusual but cosy. The waitresses and waiters are students from a nearby university, they are cute and funny. And they speak many languages, which is handy considering the number of foreigners who seem to frequent to this restaurant.

The food here is truly fantastic and extremely reasonably priced. A tad bit bland for my liking but otherwise the food is great! A small and cosy restaurant located near St. Isaac cathedral. Small indoor seating with more seats outside. There's a playground area outside. Recommended: Pumpkin Soup, Beef Stroganoff with Buckwheat, and Spanish Hot Chocolate with Cointreau

I personally loved the food and the service at this restaurant. I had the pumpkin soup with some extraordinary toasted bread rolls with melted cheese on top (delicious!) and also the beef stroganoff which was excellent. The waiter who served us spoke very good English and was very helpful and polite. The atmosphere is warm and cosy and I will definitely visit again if I go back to St. Petersburg.

Amazing Restaurant close to St. Isaac’s Cathedral. Im summer you can sit outside and the have great tasty Russian food. Try the Bortsch and the Beef Strogranoff. Also delicious cakes and home made lemonades (black currant is the best). You can chill there. They have games, table soccer, and a whole room for your kids to play. Super friendly staff and overall a great value for my money. Super recommended

Nice and cozy, attentive staff, they speak English and take their time to explain the menu, they are friendly and the food is good. A little pricey but nothing over the top. Good place if you want to have a relaxing time with friends or family. The stroganoff beef was very tasty.

We had dinner at this restaurant and we loved it! The food was amazingly delicious and the cozy atmosphere along with the decoration design made us feel at home. The staff were super friendly and polite as well as English-speaking. I particularly liked the herring with potatoes as the starter. If I were to try a similar food in Sydney, I should ’ve paid $150, but it cost us less than $50. I highly recommend it.

Russia surprises! We love it! Excellent food-excellent staff-fair prices-perfect location Due to my profession in the hospitality industry as motivation and marketing trainer on top management level I was super happy to experience friendly, well informed staff. Food was prepared like the "real thing". Nicely decorated, but not too much. I would say it was the very good taste of Russian dishes.

Even if it is located in a shopping mall this restaurant is really good. What we ate was very good and tasty. I had a beer produced by them and was too quite good. The personel was professional and ok. Prices are really good. One of the places in Kaliningrad were you can be satisfied with the meal.

Loved the place - we went for the whole line-up of their house beers and plenty of different seafood and fish meals: absolutely delicious smoked mackerel and some baked whitefish with barley, as well as a grilled squid, aubergine rolls and pan-fried potatoes with forest mushrooms). Everything was just great and served perfectly (the waiter's name was Alexei - he was knowledgeable and courteous). Given we've paid less that 30 quid for the dinner - the place is a real marvel of Kaliningrad fine dining. Strongly recommended!

Amazing place! Awesome food and beer for right price. Service is amazing with very kind and energetic personal doing their best and knowing what they are doing. Food is great as I said and also gigantic portions =) Another good point is that there is an english meny and staff at least some of them speak english. We are very happy with everything and will come back again. P.s. you can buy their amazing and not expensive beer with you 👌

Decent food and pretty good service. We were there on a busy night during a world cup match but the staff still could handle the crowd. English menu is available and makes it a lot easier to get what you really want. Nothing spectacular but a trusty choice if you're visiting.

I was so lucky : the barman is nice and kind, working with a smile. The beer and food was good. The atmosphere was good.

The atmosphere was great and good local beer. Sadly food was not good at all, frozen meat, hair in the food, grillfood taste very bad and even borsjtj meat tasted bad. Overall a nice place but food is not good at all. Good service and nice service people thou!

From Islam point of view The food is nice is you will go for seafood. Not too much options for kids except for salmon which is very healthy . For adults also you can choose between fish or salads The bread on the starting was very very tasty 😋

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Review for Gogol (Гоголь) 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I recently had the pleasure of dining at Gogol (Гоголь) and I must say, it was an absolutely delightful experience! From the moment I stepped through the door, the friendly and attentive service made me feel right at home. 👏 The highlight of my visit was undoubtedly the traditional Ukrainian Борщ борщ with Сало. 😋🍲 The flavors were absolutely mouthwatering, and the presentation was a feast for the eyes. The rich and hearty broth paired perfectly with the tender pieces of Сало, creating a truly unforgettable culinary experience. 🇺🇦🍽️ To complement my meal, I indulged in a refreshing Компот. 🍹🍒 The fruity blend was the perfect balance of sweet and tangy, and it added a lovely touch to the overall dining experience. As if that wasn't enough, I also had the pleasure of trying their baked liver with baked apples. Oh my, it was a heavenly combination! The liver was cooked to perfection, so tender and succulent, and the baked apples added a hint of sweetness that perfectly complemented the savory flavors. 😍🍎 The entire dining experience at Gogol (Гоголь) was simply outstanding. The friendly staff, cozy ambiance, and exceptional service made me feel like a valued guest throughout my visit. The attention to detail and the passion for traditional Ukrainian cuisine truly shines through in every dish. #DeliciousFood #YumYum If you're looking for an authentic Ukrainian culinary adventure, Gogol (Гоголь) is an absolute must-visit. Whether you're a fan of Борщ, Сало, or simply want to explore the rich flavors of Ukrainian cuisine, this restaurant will exceed your expectations. 🥰🇺🇦 I can't wait to return to Gogol (Гоголь) and indulge in their delectable dishes once again. Highly recommended! 👍👍

Can I give this restaurant a 6 out of 5? The food tastes amazing - special highlights for the beef stroganoff (I want to have it again!!!), the duck breast (very tender, crispy on the outside, and flavorful with a fruity sauce), the Saint Petersburg ice cream assortment and the chocolate sponge cake with raspberry sorbet. If I had to choose one I would definitely recommend the beef stroganoff with no hesitation :))!!! The waitress was so friendly and energetic and speaks fluent English. On a side note, I was impressed on how she memorized all the menu we ordered and even who ordered what - without even a note! Love the ambiance of the place as well, with a decor (including a bell for when you want to order smth) and background music that makes you feel like you're in the 19th century. I want to visit here again :)

Great Russian experience. Quality dishes with classic-style old-school fancy service. Make sure you taste the dumplings. See pictures below. For more experiences like this, follow @quiquinnv

Excellent place for a dinner, with great ambience, decore and service. The decore is very old fashioned and as someone else commented grandma's house. We really liked the salads. Price is above average for local food, but cheap compared to rest of Europe. Book in advance to avoid dissapointment as the venue is smallish.

Somebody described this place as a hidden gem, and I agree. It’s a wonderful old-timey restaurant with a distinct pre-revolution era atmosphere. The waiters wear costumes and are extremely nice and welcoming. The food is fantastic, with a good selection of both Russian and European dishes. In the evening you can hear live piano renditions of rock ballads and other songs. Honestly, it’s the best Saint Petersburg restaurant I’ve visited so far. Shootout to the amazing hostess that was beyond nice!

Refined Russian cuisine. Small delicate dishes, and lovely staff! Book a booth for an authentic 18th century atmosphere.

Gogol is one of my family’s favourite restaurants. In the 2 years we have lived here we have not found more gourmet Russian food. They have the BEST beef stroganoff and a wide variety of Russian dishes, this is a must go for tourists who want to experience authentic Russian food. I recommend Kvass to drink (which is less alcoholic than beer).

This restaurant has like 3 big rooms. Interior is very nicely decorated. I ordered the traditional fish soup and the chicken & mushroom dish. Both were really good. I also had the 4 set Vodka tasters. My favourite being... Hazelnut Vodka. I've got no complaints with/for this restaurant.

When I visited Russia for the first time, my tour guide recommended this place, and I was NOT disappointed! I can Honestly say this place had the BEST food I ate on my entire trip! Not only delicious and tasted like a home cooked meal, but also very reasonably priced, and the atmosphere is so comfortable and inviting and beautiful. #🇺🇸💗🇷🇺

Loved the soup, very nice restaurant and service⭐️

Great place to go have some Russian food. Food was good and the place has some nice decor.

Amazing place. Accommodating and friendly staff. 70-80s Russian decor and music . And the food is so tasty! Don’t forget to have herbal tea - healthy and tasty. The presentation of dessert is cute… In the summer they have tent outside and dancing/ singing performance. Highly recommend to have reservation for the dinner time in the summer - tends to get really full. In the winter it’s easier as not that many tourists.

I found this place accidentally, and even didn’t think about the charming view, which it has, to the cathedral. Well inside, we were on the terrace, you find the beautiful and cozy interior with friendly staff. We didn’t book anything and got a nice table. A menu has pretty interesting dishes and drinks, but I was personally impressed by matryoshka cocktail, technically it was called with another name, which I forgot. The food was very tasty. No idea about WiFi but definitely there is no parking.

The wines are quite overpriced, but all the service, all the staff are incredible. The food is perfect and nicely served, we got our food really fast. Our coat was taken at the entrance, and we were helped to get them on when we left, I was truly amazed. The music is awesome, we really liked the Russian and Western European 40s and 50s jazz and dance-, ballroom music. The rooms of the place has various nice atmosphere from the granny's kitchen to the overdecorated guestroom, waiting room, nicely placed kitsch all over everything, that serves the best. The service design of the place is well-thought, the menu, the dresses of the staff, the tone looks and feels nice, the number and style of the dishes are well balanced. Humorous, welcoming, warm, cosy place, great experience, I couldn't ask for a better restaurant to go.

Thou the staff were lacking of smiles but they were actually very friendly when you talk to them, the service was excellent and they were very professional. Tables were cleared promptly after each dish, and the staff set the tables and presented each dish gracefully. Food was fantastic! Each dish were plated beautifully and it was a joy to look at. Will definitely recommend to anyone who is visiting!

Arrived Saturday 5th October 2019 (luckily quite early) and got a table without reservation... The restaurant is in the basement. The staff is friendly, the menu offers good choice of upper Russian cuisine... All dishes were great!! The prices slighly high, but compared to quality, quite fair!

Place is very cozy, nice decorations and ornaments. All the waitresses are dressed like dolls and rigorously on flat shoes. It feels like you're dining in a doll house. I found it interesting but I wouldn't go on a regular basis, it's a bit over the top. Food is quite good but not incredible, I've had better. I say it's a bit too salty for my taste. It's located in the city center right next to the Kazan Cathedral, so super easy to get to. I recommend going there once at least to get an interesting experience, then go somewhere else next time to see what else the city has to offer. Prices are a bit over the average but it's understandable due to the location and how the restuarant looks like. Service: could be better, I felt intimidated a bit by the guards at the reception. Waiters are very young so a bit unexperienced. 3 stars seems fair

Beef cheek and the chocolate cake are great, must try when you visit St. Petersburg

Best service ever!! Our waiter was the most gentle, patient, friendly and nice young man. All waiters speak a very good English. Nice, authentic Russian food.

Nice service and exquisite traditional Russian cuisine. It would be better if the customers could be informed of the tips which were automatically added to the bill in advance, so the customers could tip correctly.

The beef stroganoff with porcini and truffles oil was absolutely tasty! Service was very kind and attentive. I was careless with the bill’s total amount, underpaid and left. Luckily the waiter found me and he was completely kind about it and laughed over it. Loved this restaurant. Would love to revisit again when I come back to St Petersburg in the future.

Absolutely loved this resto in St Petersburg! The service was impeccable (the waiters are multilingual and spoke good English). The ambiance was cosy and very homey. There was even live music during the evening. All the food we ordered were amazing. Try the caviar with homemade pancakes and pike eggs! Will definitely visit again.

Great place! Good atmosphere and wait staff. Excellent presentation and use of seasonings and flavors. My sister had the salmon steak which she thought was exceptional.

So nice Russian atmosphere. The waiter was 5/5 for whole evening. And the food was very good!

Great authentic Russian food. Reasonable prices. Atmosphere is great and decor has this 1930's cool feel. Check it out
