Bistro Garçon

Bistro Garçon Review

This comfortable, Parisian-style bistro on Nevsky prospekt may not have the timeworn quality of the real thing, but from the first bite of baguette, it doesn't matter—the food is the real deal here. The menu changes seasonally but you can always expect delicious onion soup, mussels, salad Roquefort, quiche, and crème brûlée. Fresh oysters are flown in from Cancale, France, on Monday and Thursday. With omelets starting at 100R, real croissants for 120R, and good coffee, this is one of the best places for breakfast in the city (it opens at 9 am). The excellent Boulangerie Garçon is virtually next door, at 103 Nevsky prospekt.
