Tasty and cosy

4 Posted on 01 / 09 / 2013

This cafe is cosy and homely, and right near Palace Square. There are quite a few vegan options. They have an English version of the menu and the workers were happy to help me in a bit of English. I had the vegetarian cutlets, which were delicious patties made of cabbage and potato. I also had two salads from their selection, one with beetroot and the other with red beans. Everything was fresh, healthy and tasty. Prices are good value.

Pros: Tasty food, English menu
Cons: More vegan options needed

After our tour of the Hermitage, we headed over to this location and it's right on the canal, fairly easy to find. Their English signs were not up next to the Russian ones on the menu board, but one woman spoke a little bit of English and between that and the Vegan Passport, she was able to pick out a vegan lunch for us. We started with a cold mushroom and cabbage soup that I didn't care for much although Dirk thought it was fine. Since they also sell salads in a deli case, we got a beet salad which was excellent as well as some marinated mushrooms. The highlight was definitely the main meal of "roast a la Spain" with vegetables and dill. They have a rotating case of desserts too and we asked if any did not have milk or eggs. We got a fabulous one stuffed with marzipan. Yum! Overall, we were very grateful to find a veggie restaurant close to the Hermitage.

Pros: vegan options near the Hermitage
Cons: English menu not posted that day

This is a smashing little cafe just off Nevski Prospekt near to the Hermitage. It is open long hours 7 days a week and always seem to have something that is vegan veggie friendly (eg soup, veg ragout and some of the salads).

The menu on the wall has an English version. Staff didn't speak much Russian but tried their best to be helpful and were always very pleasant.

Pros: Vegan veggie friendy, Open long hours, Helpful staff
