Befstroganov from restaurant  " Nevskij "

Restaurant "Nevskij" is situated at the hotel " Saint Petersburg " which is situated on one of the most romantic corners of Old Tallinn, near the well known ancient Well, on the crossing of Dunkri and Rataskaevu streets. A silent harbour in the middle of the storming tourist sea. On hot summer days when the old city is filled with numerous tourists, the restaurant welcomes visitors with cool and pleasant soft music. In winter when tourists muffle up from the penetrating Baltic wind in fur coats, they are kept  warm and cozy at the restaurant " Neva ", the restaurant of refined Russian cuisine.

It is possible to try dishes such as, The Baked pudding, Beet salad, Salty cucumbers with honey, The Borshch, Imperial pel'menis, Sturgeon, Golubcy, Befstroganov.  It is advisable to stop eating especially after Befstroganov dish. There are certain dishes which in themselves become specialties of certain restaurants. Once inhabitants and visitors of Estonia went to "old" restaurant " North " to eat a fried salmon, to eat the fried hen with white sauce - at restaurant " Kullasepe Kelder ".

To taste the true Befstroganov, one should go to " Nevskij". On my request to reveal the secret of a bewitching potion which they put in this dish, the cooks only smiled. The only thing that was possible for me to find out from them was that the sauce for befstroganov is prepared for more than three hours. The cooks at " Nevskij " know their job not only from cookery books and ancient culinary books. They constantly participate in various international competitions. Meetings with colleagues from Russia and Ukraine are the most valuable practice which helps form a genuine top class cook.

At " Nevskij " sturgeon is submit. Meals are never defrosted or prepared in a microwave, but prepared freshly. I personally had the opportunity to be to taste eight of the best dishes from the menu on offer. This is a special menu that you need not less than three hours to indulge in. I further recommend that one should try this on an empty stomach.

What is restaurant of Russian cuisine without caviar and Vodka? Probably you will not find in Estonia a greater choice of vodka, than at the "Nevskij" . For lovers of the fault, beers and champagne are available and so is a wide variety of Georgian wines. Some popular brands include  "Massandrovskije" fault, beer "The Old miller ", "Тen'koff", champagne " Odessa "...

Businessmen, politicians, statesmen, and diplomatic corps and ordinary tourists and locals all make up our clientele. We offer romantic candlelight dinners for two. It is also a tradition of the restaurant " Nevskij " to offer as a special dessert, men to offer a wedding ring and propose marriage to their lady partners. It is better to prepare the big bouquet and a wedding ring beforehand. There is a wide variety of desserts on offer such as cheesecakes, the true cream Brule - a whipped vanilla cream with a caramel crust, ice-cream and many others to numerous to mention.

What can be the better end of the evening than Armenian brandy and a good cigar.

The " Nevskij " is an expensive restaurant! It is a restaurant for the real gourmets, where each dish is a true product of culinary art. It is restaurant where real pleasure is offered from the reception right through to an excellent meal and drinks. The service is next to none and one appreciates paying a bit more for such services and quality.

A large green parrot called Misha is a resident of the restaurant and whose cage is kept open. She sometimes takes off from the cage making a circle round the restaurant hall and goes back to her cage. She does not want to leave the surroundings of her home and just like her once you visit the Nevskij Restaurant you won’t want to leave. The food, the service and the surroundings are so nice that you will want to visit time and time again.
