Tsar

A firm favorite with St. Petersburg’s society crowd, this beautiful restaurant is, indeed, fit for a king with historical details restored by designer Sergey Tretyak along with a clash of gold, deep red and cream furnishings. The menu, which is based on 19th-and 20th-century recipes favored by the royal family, features a dedicated pickle section, traditional veal tongue with horseradish, and grilled dishes; as well as homemade sherbets.
