Golden

«Golden» on Lermontovsky Prospect cooks according to the rules of kashrut — but this place definitely can't be called boring. Here you'll meet both those who follow kosher rules and those who are simply walking around the neighborhood and dropped in for lunch, not even suspecting that a synagogue stands a couple of blocks away. The menu is built around the classics of Jewish cuisine: forshmak, hummus, shakshuka. Alongside it — a whole block of Georgian dishes: lobio, chanakhi, ojakhuri. There are also more familiar items — pasta, borscht, Caesar and Stolichny salads, so the choice turns out unexpectedly wide for the format of a small café. It's worth mentioning shawarma and falafel separately — they're said to be among the best options in the city, and many people come specifically for them. In terms of prices, the place stays in the affordable segment: most dishes are inexpensive, and only meat items will cost a bit more than the Petersburg average — which makes sense for a place that adheres to strict rules for preparing kosher dishes. «Golden» will suit those who want to try a combination of Jewish and Georgian cuisine in one place, without overpaying for atmosphere or interior, but paying attention specifically to the taste and composition of the dishes.
