Hermitage Restaurant

Hermitage Restaurant Review

Although it differs greatly in style from the Hermitage's General Staff Building in which it's housed, this modern, stylish restaurant maintains subtle connections to the museum—for example, the green throughout the museum appears everywhere here, from the fresh apple juice to the staff uniforms. Each dining "hall" is different: the Music Salon hosts live music, while the Cameo Room is romantic with amber lamps and tables for two. Paintings by local artists line the walls of the hall connecting these dining rooms. There are two menus—one European, one Russian—with many reasonably priced options. Try any of the salads, soups, or blini.
