Be very careful when you’re there. It’s not the friendliest place. They have the world’s largest McDonald’s, and it’s crowded all the time.

    I could advice you these good restaurants in St Petersburg with Russian cuisine:
    Sverchok – at the corner of Nevsky prospect and Moika river,
    Dvorianskoye gnezdo – near Mariinsky theater,
    chaine Teremok – for the blinis testing,
    Russkaya Ribalka (Russian fishing) – fish cuisine

    It depends of how much money u'd like to spend.If u r looking for really high quality cuisine check this and pay attention to those restaurants which marked as $ $ $ $ ….all situated not far from Nevsky prospect…

    or
    Can't recomend u certain restaurant, cause I was pretty satisfied with one of restaurants "Hermitage"situated at Senates(Dvortsovaya) square(under the ark), but next year it lost it's attraction for me. Who knows what's now…
    But if u r looking for not so overpriced places, then the answer of zversgirl is informative.

    Not anymore. Mostly Ukranian restaurants and Mc Donalds.

    Being in Russia, you should find the Russian restaurants authentically Russian!!

    I find St Petersburg a gorgeous city and the people are much friendlier than Moscow. Disagree with the first post.

    I like Yolki-Polki. It's very cheap and the food's pretty nice. Russkaya Kukhniya is authentic too, but I don't really rate the food very much. There are also plenty of Soviet canteen style restaurants but you'll need to seek them out. The cheaper and less touristy the restaurant, the more authentic it is.
