1818 Kafe and Bikes

St Petersburg


Combining a love of bicycles and street food from around the globe, Kafe and Bikes serves up delicious cooking amid upbeat grooves, exposed bulbs and those slate grey walls so prevalent in St Petersburg. Shawarmas (grilled meat and salad wrapped in flat bread), wok-fried buckwheat noodles with vegetables, pizzas, khachapuri (Georgian cheese bread) and syrniki (sweet cheese fritters) are all served up in a hurry by friendly staff.

Don't miss the pedal-powered blender in the corner – a fine way to get in a workout while making your own smoothie. You can also hire a bicycle here (per hour from R150).
