Troitsky Most Nab Reki Moyki

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.

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.

Lovely restaurant where you can enjoy a tasty and affordable vegan meal.

The restaurant offers great prices and excellent quality. The ambiance is beautifully decorated and the waitress was very friendly. I absolutely love it!

Unfortunately my experience here wasn't great. We came here after an exhausting visit to the Hermitage Museum and really needed some refreshments. The servers didn't speak almost any English and weren't happy with helping us. The owner though, who is an older lady, was much more helpful. The younger staff was just unpleasant. After the struggle with finding vegan food we were able to get some borscht soup, tofu in thai rice and salad. There were also some vegan desserts. The food was so-so and especially the desserts were a big disappointment. Wouldn't come back here -there are better options in the city.
