Russian to Find Lunch
Where: St Petersburg, Russian Federation
It's not always easy to find the tastiest restaurant if you're roaming clear across the Europe, and some opinions of Russian chow don't place it in the haute cuisine category. We contend, however, that anyone who can handle garlic will do just fine. Say you're enjoying the Russian glamour in St Petersburg, but your budget needs a break? Try the Laima Bistro along Kanal Griboedova, just off Nevskii Prospekt.
We found it after a local recommended it as "unexpensive". Breaking the stranglehold of the addictive (yet bad-breath-enducing) garlic rye toast is the first problem you'll face, followed by choosing from an overlong menu, but the result both for belly and wallet is worth it. Heaps of veggie-friendly food, if that's what you're up for, plus pancakes, cabbage and soups in various combinations. And your Cyrillic-strained eyes can take a rest by using the English menu. Now where did we put those mints?
