Reviews

There are different opinions about the Nutcracker cafe in St. Petersburg.

A lot of positive feedback. The first impression of the interior of the institution, according to some guests, was that they got into a decent restaurant, and not a fast food cafe. Visitors talk about the variety of food, a wide selection of dishes, impressive portions, lack of crowds, a large number of halls and tables, pleasant staff, cleanliness, reasonable price, an adequate response from the administration to customer criticism and the desire to rectify the situation as quickly as possible. Many are satisfied that they can come here withyoung children for whom there are low-fat dishes on the menu. Guests of the Northern capital noted the convenient location near the station. Beer lovers praise the products of the local brewery. Many did not find any flaws in the cafe.

Dissatisfied customers don't see the difference between eating at the Nutcracker and eating at an ordinary canteen where meals cost half as much. They say that only the interior is beautiful here, the rest is like in a cheap eatery: a lot of greasy, food is often burnt, it smells of rancid oil, tables are sometimes not wiped. Many of those who do not like the cafe believe that it is designed for visitors who are not too picky when traveling. Some of the restaurant's menus are reminiscent of canteens from Soviet times.
