Русская рыбалка, Restaurant in Saint Petersburg, Russia
Русская рыбалка is a fish-focused restaurant on a calm island in Saint Petersburg, next to a park and a pond. Wooden finishes, two floors, several halls, and open terraces shape the interior and the view over the water.
The restaurant grew around the idea of linking a kitchen to the water instead of only serving prepared dishes. Over time it added terraces, private rooms, and family services, keeping the pond as the central feature for cooking and gathering.
The pond is part of the meal: guests can catch their own fish and then have it grilled or smoked over alder chips. This hands-on approach turns dining into a shared activity on the terrace, a small ritual of patience and food preparation.
Come during warm months to sit on the veranda and enjoy the pond view, while cooler days are better spent inside by the wooden halls. Families with children can use the special menus and chairs, and a fenced parking area makes arrival by car simple.
You can pick the method for your catch right on the spot: grilling, baking, or smoking over alder chips. This choice happens after you pull the fish from the pond, so the dish is decided by the visitor, not only by the kitchen.
