We had a lovely time at Nevski. The atmosphere was welcoming, fun, & loud. Tables were hard to come by when we went, & I don't usually like sitting at the bar, but this was a great place to do that. We had borsht, pirozhki, & a cheese boat, all of which were delicious, & we'd enthusiastically recommend them. The staff were fun & friendly, & we're an obviously LGBTQ+ couple, so that counted for extra with us.

The food is authentic Russian 🪆 food & the service is great. Most of the staff actually speak Russian & are super nice 👍🙂. I would recommend to check their social media feed & go for a special event. We were there for'Maslinitsa' which is a special holiday & they serve delicious 🤤 crapes 🥞 🍯 I don't usually even like sweets but it was delicious. We also had the borscht which was ok, the pelmeni 🥟 with 🍄 were delicious & the drinks 🍻🍷 🍸 were very original as well. Over all great experience well worth checking out. Only negative is that we were seating all the way in the back & it was super hot in the winter ❄?☃? time as I guess people near the entrance must feel a breese. The live music was absolutely great. 🎶 🎷. *The entrance is not easy to find it's actually on the little side street between King 👑 & Queen streets.

My partner's cousin brought him & I here - it did not disappoint! From the minute you walk in you are greeted with the smell of delicious food & a trendy & welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely phenomenal - shared a cheese boat, salmon blini, cucumber salad, some khinkali, & the veal & mushroom pelmeni. To drink - try the Don nevski or the St. Petersburg (why not both?). For dessert we had the freshly made cinnamon sugar donuts. 10/10 recommend & my partner & I will be bringing all our friends here!

La nourriture est très bonnes & les drinks aussi. L'ambiance est génial avec les musciens & la déco est tout autant belle. Je recommande ☺️

A colleague from Russia strongly recommended me to come to Nevski, as the cuisine & ambiance are authentic Russian. I really enjoyed the cheeseboat (spinach & peppers), borscht, & multi-layered cake. The waiters were very attentive & most helpful in guiding me as to the best dishes to sample. The mule (with ginger beer & mint) was so refreshing! I look forward to returning soon!

Nous avons réservé une section du Nevski pour une fête avec le menu bouchées/cocktails pour une vingtaine de personnes. Excellent service & ambiance conviviale. La nourriture était excellente & en bonne quantité, parfait pour accompagner des Moscow Mules ;) Je recommande fortement le Nevski!
