1. Karelskaya Gornica

4.5 based on 589 reviews
Reviewed By elainejh - Bracknell
Lured by the promise of the first Karelian restaurant complete with costumed waitresses we went for dinner at Karelskaya Gornitsa. On the plus side, it was only across the road, from Hotel Severnaya where we were staying. It looked quite cute and there were vegetarian options always a plus. Also some interesting tinctures - Forest Charms which was a bit medicinal but packed a punch and cloudberry liqueur made from a fruit like an orange raspberry which was a bit sweet. On the downside, it was quite expensive by far and definitely the least tasty of the meals we ate during our 29 day first visit to Russia.

Place is located on the lake shore close to ferry terminal and offers nice views to the water. Very nice interior but irritating waiters. Food very average in taste and preparation but to be honest seems to be fresh. I think that it is one of the bests in the city anyway.

If you are looking for a place to chill out, have a few beers, eat pizza (they have large menu on "real" main courses and other food too) and maybe hear some live music, go to Kivach! Most of the staff members speak english and can give tips, if you are looking for clubs or other places with live music. Really nice staff, made us feel welcomed! Nice (even cheap) price level compared to Finland for example.

В целом заведение так себе. Готовят неплохо, большой выбор, сытные порции и приятный персонал. Но кафе не хватает общего лоска - помещение старенькое, потрёпанное, салфеточки тоненькие, сервировка как в столовке.
Хорошей кухне очень не хватает хорошего оформления!

First timers in Russia, we felt a little nervous venturing out of the big cities. We're spending three days in Petrozavodsk and this is our first night here. Food is fantastic, service is quick, and prices are far below those of Moscow and St Petersburg. Hip, modern, warm atmosphere. Love it!

It is very well decorated café in the city center. The prices are not very expensive. The food is tasty, but the soups are from powder. The menu is in Russian, finish and English, but the first page with traditional food is in Russian only.
9. Cafe KENAR

Reviewed By NataliaSP - St. Petersburg, Russia
We had a short trip to Petrozavodsk in the beginning of March. One of our lunches we enjoyed in Kenar. Cafe has very nice atmosphere. Unfortunately they were out of steaks which we wanted to order. But pasta with beef, vegetable salad called Kenar and carbonara were very good. Salad is highly recommended - quite big portion, fresh and light. I would recommend this cafe for couples and families.

Reviewed By Maria Z - Petrozavodsk, Russia
It is one of the best places in Petrozavodsk. I do recommend it to everybody. Food is tasty, service is fast. Always overcrowded - everybody want to have good food. Not big choice of beer. Good burgers and pizzas,try warm salad and grilled vegetables!
Design is nice, two floors. On the second floor you will find toilets, sort of small shop and room for hookah smoking.
