Palkin Review

The Premiere Casino's grand restaurant evokes the name of a legendary restaurant established on this spot in 1785. The interior is formal and elegant and you'll be treated like royalty the moment you enter, although the place has become a bit worn around the edges since its Yeltsin-era heyday. Look for poularde with morel sauce, venison with pine nuts marmalade, fillet of turbot served with pistachio nuts and curry sauce, and salad of smoked salmon with fresh oysters and beluga caviar. It's worth a visit for the window seats alone which look out onto bustling Nevsky prospekt.
