LeChaim

Fodor's Review:

This new, spacious, and welcoming kosher restaurant has been a hit with cosmopolitans and a nonreligious crowd since it opened in the spring of 2005. In a spacious basement of the St. Petersburg Great Choral Synagogue, LeChaim serves generous portions of high-standard Jewish cuisine at modest prices and is an excellent value for the money. Try chicken schnitzel or trout fillet wrapped in grape leaves. The lemon and orange sponge cake for dessert is not to be missed. A disadvantage is the closing time: 10 PM.
