Palkin

Palkin, one of the oldest restaurants in St Petersburg is also easily one of the city’s finest. Palkin stands as a testament to St. Petersburg’s rich culinary history,. The restaurant features sumptuous interior designs that recall the bygone era of Russian decadence under the Tsars. Servise is impeccable; friendly and professional. The menu bursts with luxurious foie gras, angus beef, truffles, black caviar and game moulded into historic French/Russian recipes from a bygone era. My only remark is that there is room for much focus on gimmicky techniques like dry nitrogen. You can use that for one course but to have that repeatedly is a bit too much.
