Restaurants in Historic Buildings

"This charming 19C former Imperial summer residence overlooks the historic Kadriorg Castle Park and is where the Russian nobles and residents of St. Petersburg would spend their summers. At the end of the Tsarist era the property was turned into a casino-cum-restaurant but, sadly, its glory days were short-lived. After falling into disrepair, architect Külli Salum was called in to restore the building in 2016, retaining original features such as wooden pillars, stained glass and panelled ceilings, and blending them with sleek modern furnishings. When it comes to the cooking, here you can enjoy a range of assured, colourfully presented dishes with Mediterranean and European influences. Flavours are well-thought-through, with appealing textural contrast." - Elizabeth Winter
