R100-200; Nevsky Prospekt; )
Calling itself a 'gastro bar and refuge', this
popular expat hangout has a friendly atmosphere and an interesting bar menu as well
as regular live music and even pub quizzes. While used by many as a bar, it's well
worth trying the food here, which ranges from chilli con carne to Indian spiced chick-
en in mint sauce. There's also a selection of sandwiches and wraps that are very good
value.

This is the most
central branch of the excellent veggie-cafe chain, and a true lifeline for non-meat eat-
ers. Overlooking the Moyka, just moments from Nevsky, it serves up the same excel-
lent fare, including great vegetarian lasagne.

NEP celebrates the early 1920s, a period of entrepreneurial activity and
relative liberalism under Lenin's 'New Economic Policy'. The restaurant's hip, jazz-
age style evokes a kind of vaudevillian luxury, as does the tasty Russian and Thai
menu. There's live music and cabaret plays from 8.30pm Wednesday to Sunday, for
which reservations are a good idea.
