Named after the medieval prince and hero, Alexander Nevsky, you can find this delightful Ruski restaurant in the exclusive St. Petersbourg hotel. Magnificent samovars, ornate cutlery, and oil paintings of horse-drawn sleighs ploughing through snowy forests evoke the appropriate atmosphere; whilst a menu of salted salmon, pickled lampreys, sturgeon and wild boar tickle the tastebuds in a manner usually reserved for Russian royals. Finish with a couple of shots of the finest vodkas and you've got the ultimate Russian experience... Well, short of bedtime romp with Anna Kournikova!
