At the top of many people’s lists of where to go in St Petersburg there is the Bellevue Brasserie. With its 360-degree view of the city this trendy restaurant really is the place to see and be seen. People love to sit here for hours, taking in the famous view over the Hermitage Museum - the former Winter Palace of the tsars - and taking time for friends and family.
Linger over lunch, with Kamchatka crab, or the French cheese plate and a glass of Brunello. In the evenings you can keep it casual or dress up for whatever the occasion – settle back in an armchair, relax with an aperitif, indulge yourself with a little caviar, and savour the Caesar salad with grilled king prawns.
Bellevue Brasserie is open from 12 noon to 1am (until 3am in summer).
