Fodor's Review:

Serving innovative Russian cuisine with a modern twist, Canvas, on the first floor of the St. Petersburg Renaissance Baltic Hotel, is a member of the Chaine des Rotisseurs, a prestigious international association promoting the culinary arts. This cozy little restaurant designed in warm, bright colors juxtaposes traditional Russian ingredients with a European approach and artistic presentation. A perfect example is beetroot jelly with herring fillet and Laredo apple served on toasted black bread with potatoes and dill-mustard sauce. Try sturgeon roulade with spinach and the excellent game solyanka, filled with bear, elk, and wild boar meat. Your dinner can also be served on the hotel's sixth-floor terrace, where the shiny golden cupola of St. Isaac's Cathedral, set against charming crumbling rooftops, makes for an unrivaled view. Canvas offers an excellent three-course business lunch at $11. Reservations are recommended.
