St
Petersburg Restaurant |
 |
| A
visit to the St. Petersburg Russian Restaurant in Manchester is like
leaving the UK and being transported to Russia - an experience, which
shouldn’t be passed up. |
Opened
in November 2007 on Sackville Street, just around the corner from
both Manchester Piccadilly Station and The Palace Theatre, this
is St Petersburg's second restaurant. Their first, in Liverpool,
has won rave press reviews and was highly commended in the category
'Best Liverpool Restaurant' by Cheshire & Lancashire Life Magazine’s
Food & Wine Awards. It's also popular with celebrities, tennis
stars and football players as well as the odd Hollywood movie star,
even being used as the film set of Sparkle, starring Sir Bob Hoskins. |
With
the west Russian city of St Petersburg being Manchester's twin town,
it seemed logical that the Liverpool restaurant would be responsible
for the first ever Russian restaurant in Manchester. |
|
 |
St
Petersburg Restaurant in Manchester has a great selection of homemade,
nutritious, authentic Russian dishes, many of them are very normal
to the traditional British palette. |
With
a menu boasting traditional homemade Russian and Ukranian soups,
tasty hot savoury Russian pancakes (Blini's), Stroganov's and famous
Beef Goulash. There's many lamb, chicken, vegetarian and fish dishes
to choose from with Sturgeon coming highly recommended, not least
because of it's own delicious taste, nor the fact it's the most
expensive fish n the world, but it also produces the best black
caviar. |
| Talking
of caviar, try the famous Russian Black or Russian Red Caviar, served
on either a boiled egg with a special filling or with three Russian
Blini Pancakes. Ideally sampled with a shot of Russian Vodka as accompaniment. |
| All
served in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, it is a fantastic place
to have your party or a more intimate dinner. There's also top class
live entertainment including Russian Cabaret, Karaoke, Disco and dancers
performing traditional Russian dancing and Belly dancing every Friday
and Saturday. |

"'What
was St Petersburg called before it became St Petersburg?', I quizzed
my fellow diners. 'Ikan Cafe' was the unexpected reply I received.
Very true but not the geographical answer I had in mind. |
| St
Petersburg is Manchester's twin city and if the cuisine is as good
as this brand new Russian restaurant on Sackville Street, we can't
wait to taste the delights of Bilwi, Chemnitz, Codoba, Rehovot and
Wuhan - Manchester's other twins. |
| Apart
from being the first Russian restaurant in Manchester, St Petersburg
must also be the only place in town where you can order caviar - from
£4.50 for 2.5g of Red Caviar upto £55.95 for 20g of the
more exclusive Black Caviar. |
| The Blini
pancakes were extremely tasty, washed down wonderfully with a bottle
of Russian Baltika beer, whilst the Peter The Great steak was absolutely
incredible - well worth the journey alone! |
| Like
many of the Mediterranean restaurants around town, diners are entertained
with live music at weekends. For a quieter meal go midweek and you
might just bump into us - we'll be back there many times! |
| Oh, and
St Petersburg (the city) was previously called Leningrad if you were
wondering." -
