Cafe St. Petersburg

The restaurant was amazing! Everything starting with booking table and a very pleasant greeting at the door was great. Service was outstanding, we had a waiter who remembered without writing it down the order for five people including all appetizers ! He was also very helpful with recommending us dishes and drinks , he went above and beyond describing dishes even though it was very busy ! The food was amazing as well , high quality food, fresh , and presentation is outstanding ! My personal favorite was herring with onions and potatoes .

We had a very nice dinner, a fairly unique experience, authentic Russian cousine. To look loop MomWe started with pirozhki, Russian dumpling, they three kinds and you have to pick one in each order. I suggest ordering one of each kind and splitting. The choices are cabbage, beef, and mushroom. Even those who did not think they would like cabbage, thought it was the best. Borscht and creamy mushroom mushroom soup were served at the same time as pirozhki, and they did go well together. We were also served Russian dark and white bread. We liked both. Chicken kiev and beef Stroganoff were the entries and I liked the beef better. Beware that if you cut chiken kiev it will explode with oil gushing out. The deserts were the weakest course. I was disappointed in Napoleon flavor and texture. Cherr

Best Russian restaurant in Boston. Fight me. Everything we had were absolutely delicious. Originally in Brookline, they moved to Newton in 2006, and thriving ever since. Amazingly authentic and delicious Russian food I didn't realize that I need! Love the Borscht, exactly what I wanted and remembered. Rich tomato beefy broth with cabbage and carrots inside. The secret was in the broth, absolutely divine. Pirozhki was also amazing. You choose the different flavors they offer, we got cabbage and egg&scallions. Cabbage filling was flavorful, seasoned with dill, very fresh and vibrant. Egg&scallion filling was also delicious, but cabbage was the clear winner. For main course, cabbage rolls were a must try. This was not like other cabbage rolls you would have had. The meat inside was

Everything was fantastic and accurately made! It's a nice place so I'd recommend dressing up a bit. Food was so good, that I ate and forgot to photograph it ))) Must trys: Varenyki, Pelmeni, Chicken Kyiv, Napoleon cake. I recommend reserving a seat, but I didn't have to wait. I will come here my birthday.
