This charming vegetarian cafe is named after Dostoyevsky’s ‘The Idiot’. One of St.Petersburg’s favourite hangouts since it opened in 1997, The Idiot has a beautiful pre-revolutionary setting. Many people come to Idiot just to revel in its ambiance and have a drink. The menu is basically traditionally Russian; try their podgarka and mushroom soup that has the warm, familiar, homely feel to it. Be prepared for the complementary shot of vodka coming your way once you enter the restaurant. Talk of a grand Russian welcome!
