Literary Cafe

The first floor of the Literary Café still retains Pushkin's wax figure and 19th-century decorative style. It is said that Pushkin loved to come here during his lifetime and rested here before duels. The decoration of the second floor is more romantic than that of the first floor.

This is a very famous cafe. All tourists who travel to St. Petersburg will come here to take a look and sometimes have a cup of coffee. The cafe is well located, close to the river.

The Literary Café in St. Petersburg is named after Pushkin, just like the Pushkin Restaurant in Moscow. However, the taste and value for money of the Literary Café are slightly better, but the restaurant environment of Pushkin is better. When eating dinner in the cafe, someone plays the piano for music. In addition, the wax figure of Pushkin and the bear waiter are its characteristics.

Beautiful and historic place. Posh pre-revolutionary Russian decor. The waiters were dressed in tuxedo-like uniforms and were warm and attentive. Live piano music. Good food but I expected the food to match the nuances and elegance of the atmosphere. It was very good but not as good as one would expect. However, I'm still glad we came as it was a very good experience.

The Literary Cafe is not only a cafe, but also a famous tourist attraction. It is very famous in St. Petersburg. Tourists here will come here to drink coffee or enjoy a hearty Russian meal. The restaurant is well decorated and very classical. There is also a statue of the literary master Pushkin dining here.

I don't remember the taste very well, after all, it's been many years, but I recommended this restaurant to a friend, who said that he couldn't stand the smell of oil and meat as soon as he entered the door, so he went straight to the Chinese restaurant. I didn't go to this restaurant to eat anything, but to pay tribute to Pushkin's famous quotes. Probably because the climate is too cold, I feel that Russian food is generally hard. Not to mention meat, the staple bread is like this, even the coffee foam is hard.

In fact, this is a pretty good restaurant. Of course, you can also drink coffee. It is said that Pushkin liked to come here during his lifetime and rested here before he died in a duel. There is a very realistic wax figure of Pushkin on the first floor of the cafe, and there are Pushkin's recommended dishes on the menu. In short, Pushkin is the selling point here. The decoration on the second floor is more retro and romantic than the first floor. There are people playing piano and real singing at night. The environment is really good and the service is also good. Someone will help you keep your coat when you enter the door. The waiter is quite handsome and can speak English. This is a traditional Western restaurant. I would recommend you to order a set of appetizers, soups, staple foods, and desserts. After eating one, you can order one. Of course, there is no problem with ordering alone. The taste of the dishes should be said to be good. The beef tongue salad is okay, and the borscht is not salty, but sweet. The staple foods of beef and fish are okay. The only problem is that this place is too in line with the Chinese people's pretentious taste, resulting in more than 90% of the guests being Chinese, which is really speechless.
