St Petersburg
Repa may be Russian for turnip but this delightful restaurant, cheek-by-jowl with the Mariinsky, is anything but rustic. Beautifully painted murals of dancers grace the walls as waiters glide by delivering glasses of sparkling wine and plates of bliny, Kamchatka crab or whole baked fish to elegantly attired customers.
If you have a ticket to the Mariinsky you'll also receive 20% off most items on the bill.
