Restaurant Name: Chainaya Lozhka
Chainaya Lozhka (in Russian mean teaspoon)
A sort of Russian cafeteria, this chain serves cheap, quick fare with a Russian emphasis.
The beet-and-carrot salad, creamy ham-and-potato salad, marinated mushrooms, and cabbage soup are hardly haute cuisine, but they can satisfy midday hunger at unbeatable prices.
Nothing is written in English, but the food is displayed at the counter, so you can just point to what you want. Despite its name, the teas are mediocre bag teas and the coffee is either watery or grainy. The place can get crowded, but turnover is quick. This is a safe, convenient choice if you're wandering Nevsky any time of day.
There is no coffee, just tea and blinis – the famous Russian pancakes.
The staff in this orange-tinged pancake chain cook up blinis quicker than you can devour them and all are reasonable priced.
