This restau­rant, offer­ing a very Euro­pean set­ting with most­ly Russ­ian high qual­i­ty food, nabs a lot of tourists vis­it­ing the fortress. But nonethe­less, the ser­vice and food remain phe­nom­e­nal — while tourists are trapped here, it is no tourist trap. Off sea­son, par­tic­u­lar­ly dur­ing the snowy win­ter months it place can be almost mag­i­cal, as you get the beau­ti­ful restau­rant more or less to your­self.
