excellent fine dining - Edit
After a beautiful walk along the canal, you can enjoy a delicious and drawn-out lunch or dinner here. I had a 2 hour, relaxing lunch, multiple courses, espresso, vodka, black tea ... the works! I went through the menu with the waitress and decided what could be ordered vegan. I chose fried mushrooms and potatoes, mushroom soup, black bread, and a garlic green bean dish. All of it was superbly tasty! I would definitely eat here again!

Russian veggie food - Edit
FEel I Need To Redress Some Of These Reviews. This Is A Russian Restaurant Serving Russian Food. The Default Would Be That We Could Order NOTHING ! Several Vegan Options, Not Salads They Also Serve Lots Of Vegetarian Food So Good For Mixed Group Of people. I Also Had A Pudding That Wasn't Fruit Salad ! If You Want To Try Something RussiAn Whilst In Russia Worth A Try. Cheap By Uk Standards.

Don't go!!! - Edit
I never have writen reviews. Until this one. I joined happy cow just to write this! The vegan options consisted of nothing more than a few vegetable dishes and soups -- not unlike many places that don't call themselves vegan or vegetarian friendly. They are deceiving people. Happy Cow--can you change their listing?! Not only did they have limited options the extensive menu choices for non veg food is overwhelming. A balance is fine. A few dishes even would be ok. But this place is not veg friendly!!!!

Vegans beware - Edit
This restaurant is in a cellar and is filled with interesting bric-a-brac. The food was tasty and also pricey. The waitress spoke English (unusual for St. Petersburg) and I told her I wanted only vegan options. She confirmed that I don't eat meat, cheese or eggs and recommended the mushroom dumplings. After I ate them, another waitress told me they contained eggs.

Great for vegetarians traveling with omnivores - Edit
This is a wonderful vegetarian option for those traveling to St. Petersburg made better because I often travel with a non-vegetarian. My friend and I loved the food and the ambiance. There is a smokers section well separated from nonsmokers. It is not inexpensive but a good value for the price.

Not a Great Vegetarian Destination - Edit
It's easy to see why it gets the raves: it's conveniently located, it is extremely atmospheric, it caters to American ex-pats, and it offers complimentary vodka shots. Nevertheless, I thought this place was overrated. First, the restaurant has more vegetarian options than many Russian restaurants, but it's not actually that vegetarian-friendly. Second, my meal was unremarkable. Finally, prices are not cheap.

Great food in a great setting - Edit
We went twice to Idiot which served fish dishes and a range of vegetarian versions of Russian dishes. First time had the borsch and perogis and the second time had a delicious pear salad and the perogis again! The building is by a canal, about 5 mins from ST Isaac's church and the interior is really cosy and friendly. The staff spoke English and the menus were in Russian and English and the prices weren't too bad for Russia! Food is served with a wide, complimentary selection of breads which were lovely.

Fantastic! - Edit
I've been to this restaurant about two years ago and it was one of the highlights of my trip to Russia. You should try the brosjsj (Russian beet soup)!
