In 2003 At Gorchakov's was awarded as the Best National Cuisine Restaurant of Saint Petersburg. The guests of this restaurant are offered the delicious dishes of Russian and Ukrainian cuisines: white sturgeon filet filled with lobster meat, fresh veal with potatoes baked with cheese, smoked brisket, venison with blackberry, and other dishes that would be perfect even for a prince's or a royal dinner.
Justifying its' name, the restaurant is located in the former mansion of the Gorchakovs, in the historical center of Saint Petersburg. One of the best known representatives of the Gorchakovs is prince Alexander Mykhailovitch, the one who was the last chancellor of Russian Empire. Some restaurant's halls named in honor of the outstanding politicians and diplomats are designed as the prince's rooms and decorated with stylized furniture, table clothes, curtains, photos and china-ware.
Irreproachable treatment will make you feel as if you are a dear guest of Prince Gorchakov. The restaurant surprises with interiors' variety: some of them look like a grocery store of the 19th century, others remind of a typical Russian dwelling house or a cozy corner of Ukrainian farm-stead.
In the evenings the guests of the restaurant are entertained with live music (piano and violin).
