"Russian Vodka Room No. 1 is the first place in St. Petersburg to present Russian cuisine from different historical periods. Here, you can try Pre-Petrine dishes such as “oven-cooked buckwheat porridge with chicken hearts and porcini mushrooms”4 dishes featuring cuisine of the merchant and aristocratic classes, such as “pike perch rissole with mashed potato”; and Soviet cuisine such as, “chicken Kiev” or “Russian salad”. The restaurant’s premises comprise two specious rooms with a capacity of 160. In the neighboring rooms is housed the Museum of Russian Vodka which presents fascinating exhibits dating back to appears of vodka culture in Russia and running right through to the present day. The restaurant has also a “rumochnaya” (standing-room-only cafe) decorated in the 20th century style where you can sample a variety of vodkas with traditional Russian ‘zakuski’ snacks."
