PulpoLocal – Saint Petersburg Restaurant Guide

Mon.-Sun. 12.00 till the last visitor

The Koleso is the time-honored Russian cuisine restaurant in central neighbourhood. This is the place, where traditional interior concept meets contemporary meal variations.

The restaurant located a few steps from prime city attractions such as Palace square and Saint Isaac Cathedral, which made it a very favored tourists spot. All guests can enjoy a homestyle old-fashion tavern atmosphere while drinking a cup of tea.

All inferior items are hand-made: the candelabras, solid wooden barrels, horseshoes on the walls, and even stained glass at the windows. Also, here, in the Koleso you can see a real working Russian samovar – typical symbol of a Russian tea ceremony. All furniture is made from first-class white oak.

Every guest will be satisfied with a various original Russian cuisine recipes, such as famous Russian soup rassol’nik, which traditionally cooking with a duck, traditional Russian cabbage soup is serving with a beef tongue. The classic Russian borsch and meat solyanka also made with a traditional and respected by Russians recipe.

For main course are perfectly suited such classic meals as rabbit in pumpkin sauce served with mashed potatoes, and most-favorable by tourists chiken-kiev cutlets, beef stroganoff with mashed potatoes. All Russian meat dumplings in the Koleso are hand-made and serving with a sour-cream sauce. Well-known Russian blini here are served with side of true Russian regale: black or red caviar, and with sweet strawberry or caramel sauces for a desert.

Drinks menu includes vodka (which perfectly combines with every meat meal or soup), calvados, gin, various whiskey labels.

Koleso was near my hotel, and because I often resent crazy hotel restaurant prices for mediocre food, I went there. The borsch (beetroot soup) was excellent, five stars, and I wish I ordered two bowls of it instead of the Chiken Kiev (chiken cutlet with filling). I did realise I wasn’t in Kiev, but I wasn’t expecting THIS. It looked like a pre-cooked, packaged, frozen… something, and tasted exactly the same. The service wasn’t very good too. Not terrible, but I can’t recommend this place.

Great location, nice interior, friendly staff, tasty Russian dishes and reasonable prices.
