Teplo

Top choice in St Petersburg


This much-feted, eclectic and original restaurant has got it all just right. The venue itself is a lot of fun to nose around, with multiple small rooms, nooks and crannies. Service is friendly and fast (when it’s not too busy) and the peppy, inventive Italian-leaning menu has something for everyone. Reservations are usually required, so call ahead.

The restaurant is full of unexpected props, from table football to a child’s playroom. Dishes come from all over the world and there are plenty of vegetarian choices, as well as breakfasts served until noon (1pm on weekends).
