Russian Restaurant "Yat". Saint Petersburg, Russia

"Yat" is the legendary Russian restaurant in the heart of St. Petersburg, Russia at the Embankment of Moyka River. Nearby Winter Palace, Palace Square, The General Staff, State Capella and Museum Apartment of Alexander Pushkin.

The restaurant presents the best kind traditions of Russian domestic cuisine. From caviar to "babooshka's" pelmeni with a firm home-made tinctures.

"Yat" or "jat" (Ѣ) is the thirty-second letter of the old Cyrillic alphabet. It was closed to Russian "e" and used to make confusion between "yat" and "e". As the result, finally removed from Russian alphabet during the Reforms of Russian Orthography in 1918.

This evening we've ordered the traditional Russian “Olivier” salad
with crayfish tail and red caviar, Borsch with beef and kidney beans and Beef Stroganoff with porcini served with mashed potatoes.

Drinks are kvass and cranberry tincture.
