Style / Ambiance: With the reputation of a threetime winner of the most luxurious restaurant in St Petersburg, you could be forgiven for expecting something a little special from the Taleon.
After all, in a city well known for its opulence, luxury in St Petersburg has a different meaning to that of other cities. Thankfully, the Taleon club does not disappoint; the rooms are inspired by the reign of Louis XVI and the Russian Empire, and with renaissance paintings hung on the ornate walls, the grandeur of the room would have suited Catherine the Great herself. Chef Alexander Dregolsky provides innovative European fare, presented beautifully by the immaculately attentive staff. The wine list is one of the finest in the city, and includes several fine cognacs and cigars. It is worth visiting the restaurant during the day; the Sunday morning caviar, lobster and champagne brunch is famous throughout the city.
