"Dumplings are all very well done and served in charming, small dining rooms."

Boris Kritik

"Kholodets with veal and poultry were as good as expected. No doubt about it. What I liked, meat is not thin in fiber, has its own density, burrows, not digested, not softened."

Brian Johnston

"Dine on hearty stroganoff at cosy city restaurant Gogol."

Miriam Elder

"Try pelmeni dumplings in saffron bouillon (Rs350), and round it off with some homemade Siberian pine vodka."

Marianna Hunt

"Experience the best of what authentic Russian cuisine can offer with Gogol’s creamy beef stroganoff."

Alexander Razinkov

"Borscht and many other classic Russian dishes will make you want to stay for longer than 48 hours or dream about coming back."

Paul Karchut

"If you want to treat yourself to a fantastic Russian meal in Saint Petersburg, go to Gogol and try the amazing borscht."

Olga Cardamone

"Named after a prominent Russian writer, Nikolay Gogol, this restaurant offers you a book-like menu with all the food made entirely from scratch. Having eaten here numerous times, I would pick borscht here."

Reshma Krishnan Barshikar

"For great borscht, head to Gogol on Admiralteyskaya, just off Nevsky Prospect."

Stella Wong

"The most impressive Borscht I had was dinner on the last day in this nostalgic, rustic Russian restaurant called Gogol. It all turned out to be an unforgettable dinner, with everything so unpretentiously delicious but impeccably prepared."
