Soviet Cafe "Kvartirka". St. Petersburg, Russia. Russian Cuisine.

Kvartirka is a Russian cuisine restaurant designed as the Soviet Union flat - interior, furniture, things and music.
One of my favorite places to eat Russian food in St. Petersburg, Russia.
Olivier salad with doctor sausage (aka "winter salad"), dressed herring, borscht, solyanka, home-style chicken noodle soup, ukha fish soup, pelmeni, vareniki, mushroom and chicken julienne, pirozhok pie, passtegai pie with fish, draniki potato patties, granny-style pancakes or blini, stroganoff with buckwheat, NAVY-style macaroni with minced marbled beef and many more different dishes.

That is Soviet Soul Food. Looked great.

[@keithcleghorn5102]

I gained 10 pounds watching your feast. Cool cafe

[@LarrySerflaten]

Having lived through the 60's and 70's it was interesting to see old Russian equipment was not too different from old American equipment. That food certainly looked good, I was surprised to see so many large pictures in the food menu - that is a good idea! For a channel about Real Russia, this video was right on topic - good job!

[@liza.1888]

Oh my! I think I just had a food coma by looking at all that! 😂 the restaurant and all the decorations are beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

[@usagiynami9937]

It is a nice tradition showing respect to the victims and heroes of the siege. Thanks for giving us knowledge of Real Russia. You do give an intimate perspective not found elsewhere in the true tradition of your channel. Thanks so much, Friend.

[@athenac2696]

My point was that is not a healthy meal. Neither are hamburgers healthy to eat, but at least we put green vegetables on them and eat real green salads, green beans, avocados and carrots at meals. Yes, there are a lot of thin people in Russia, but in Russia, after age 50 they dont usually exercise and eat to many starchy foods so the women get fat.

You know you’re getting old when you remember grew up and even used rotary phones lol

Noooo. I'm 24 yo and I remember this phones. My grandma had one. We are all young. 😎

Rotary phones and party-lines! 😆😆😆

@@MichaelJonesC-4-7 and there were only 3 channels then....ABC, CBS & NBC. (at least here)

[@maurirish1]

That was from my childhood of the 60's. When I was a child we lived in old French building in Beirut and the land lines was one line so sometimes I would pickup the phone and I could hear conversations with some people in the building. But besides my family there was only one other couple that were american; everyone else was Lebanese so I couldn't understand them to eavesdrop. Sorry I don't know why that came to my mind, lol. Anyway love this channel and video. The restaurant is so cozy/vintage and the food looks so delicious and comforting.

[@e.s.l5861]

Or you’re from the upper Peninsula of Michigan, which was still on the rotary system in the mid to late 90s. It’s been a while since I live there, but I would not be shocked that it still was.....

[@figgywhipkins]

You're a very funny guy and a lot of fun to watch. Thanks for your videos.

[@lorrainemarshall4183]

I don't know why KZbin recommended this, but I am loving your videos. This is making me hungry.

[@aaronlvandamme3784]

My girlfriend lives in central Russia I have a really enjoyed watching all of your videos my girlfriend is coming to visit Chicago and then we are planning to go back to to Russia and enjoy going going to some of the the places I definitely want to go to this restaurant

[@lass-inangeles7564]

I feel so at home with all the rotary phones, vinyls, and record players, ha, ha!! A trip back into my past. Thanks for a great tour! The food looks so delicious. I wish I had known about these when I visited St Petersburg. Oh well, have to make another trip soon.

[@fla-bushcraftprepper941]

We had Poor Man's dumplings the last night for dinner. Dumplings filled with four cheeses and covered with Garlic Cheeses sauce and shredded chicken. Sometimes we top with small steamed Broccoli florets. They sure did not taste like Poor Man's Dumplings. Loved the video and the hospitality of the restaurant. Makes me want to bring my family from Florida to visit. Only two of us have seen snow, so I do not think it would be good to come in winter. Maybe in early fall when leaves are starting to change color. From Florida, Real Russia Really Rocks 😎👍

[@john3Lee]

Always interesting - Thank you..

[@wearenotalone5783]

I LOVED THE DESIGN OF THE PLACE, VERY INVITING LOOK. AND THAT SOUP LOOKED VERY GOOD. EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD.

I like your videos very much. I've always wanted to go to Russia but I know I never will , so I get to see it by watching you. Thanks so very much Perry from Texas USA .

[@reilea9977]

This is genius! This is great for people who are curious what other countries are like because either they will never be able to go and these videos are the closest they will get or it lets one see if they want to visit. The food looked great. I just ran into this video cuz I couldn't sleep and it's real late but I see you made other videos, so, yep...here I go...

[@normanp.chesterton7397]

It's so clean. Nice. Our cities have gotten really dirty. Keep it that way.

[@hederoth7883]

Flabbergasted by all the ABBA. Being Swedish, it of course makes me proud, but did you guys really listen to ABBA in those days?

[@realrussiablog]

ABBA was extra popular those days. The Soviet recording studio "Melodia" pressed their vinyls here.

[@hederoth7883]

Real Russia Ah, yes, Melodija. I had almost forgotten about that. Do you think it would be possible to find a copy in Moscow?

[@leodf1]

@YegorsTV Was western popular music allowed in Soviet Russia?

[@AlexMoonXXI]

@@leodf1 Hi! Music has not been banned. And the fascination with western music was not blamed. Anyway since the 1970s. Just it almost did not translated on the radio and TV, did not sell enough vinyls, etc. I think that stupid prohibitions have played a bad joke with the USSR: (

[@AlexMoonXXI]

Abba then seemed like as pop. And now they seem to be a masterpiece. : / And in those days we wondered: how many talents are in Sweden?!! :)

[@kutter_ttl6786]

Looks like they put a lot of thought into giving it that late-soviet retro look. Loving it!

I want a Russian man. I have a Russian Blue Manx, a Russian man and my life would be complete.

[@ericelliott227]

Sergey, I hope you did not really have to eat all that and could take some to go. Thank you for showing another wonderful restaurant in Russia. All the restaurants that are not chains there are so atmospheric. It is a real treat because one gets to have a real experience as opposed to just eating. All the restaurants seem so classy (not in the high society sense, but the atmospheric sense) and clean. Our restaurants her in the states are boring and just copy each other and don't really care. I like seeing and learning a bit about Russian history. I love that they had the old vinyl records. I wish I had a Russian vinyl record in my collection. I have some Russian music on vinyl, but made in the states, that is not the same thing. I'd love to get something from Russia period just to have. Of course, the best thing of all I already have: My very dear friend Marta in Russia and some Russian vloggers such as you, Valeria at Different Russia and now Tanya at Russki as acquaintances. There is nothing better than having international friends.

[@edithserafina1002]

I worked at a Polish restaurant and it was an amazing atmosphere. everything was clean and there were amazing displays showing off the culture, I wish more American restaurants were like that place😭

[@dancinggiraffe6058]

I love this video! It reminds me of the wonderful times I had in 1990 and 1991, staying with my friends in Moscow and Leningrad (as it was at that time). Russian cooking is delicious! My favorite thing about it is the great variety of delicious soups, and my favorite soup is svekolnik. Another thing I liked was all the dishes made with wild mushrooms that we picked in the forest. That's not very common in the US, so it was a real treat for me!

Lol! When I was growing up in the USA, 1950s, my mom always said, "There are children starving in China! Eat that bread crust!" 😋

[@realrussiablog]

Not usual to hear. Because already for 6 years here, loads of American people are coming here telling (NOT ALL OF THEM) Russia is worse and poorer in everything compared to the US.

[@VermillionDawn]

@@diane9247 Haha, you know, that's actually true. In the 1950s and 60s, my mom took care of her five little brothers in rural southern China. She was between 10-20 years old at the time. They were so poor that they would wait to receive bags of bread crust that people threw away in Hong Kong, which my grandpa collected and brought back to China for them. So thanks for eating your bread crust! :)

I need to visit Russia real soon, before places like this are all gone ..its like a complete throwback to Soviet Russia ,, a time capsule ... we dont even realize how lucky we are that we could still Visit such places to enjoy their food, meet the genuinely nice people, learn more about their culture ... Honestly i feel like this would be such a great experience , far better than going to some over rated City like Paris or Rome .. Not making a comparison as those places are also nice to see at least once ..but eating in places like this , Honestly its better than dining at a Fancy Restaurant , because its so genuinely Authentic ..

Restaurants are usually always empty and usually 1 person comes in, it gets crowded in a few hours and they flock close to the nearest diner. Idunno if its a psychological thing, but i end up entering restaurants alone like this then a few cups of coffee and lunch bam im surrounded by other diners.
