2. TEPLO

Teplo is our meeting point for the following scheduled tours:
CURRENTLY NOT IN USE FOR REGULAR TOURS

Restaurant Teplo is a great spot tucked into the backyard of the House Of Composers, right around the corner from the St Isaac's Cathedral. Excellent menu, very reasonably priced, and most importantly fabulous atmosphere, both at the inside area and their summer terrace. We reckon it is the best restaurant in town. Teplo means warmth in Russian. Show up for any scheduled tour and get a free cup of tea or coffee with a home-made biscuit.

Address: 45, Bolshaya Morskaya st.
Meet our guide at the terrace.

How to get there: Nearest metro stations are Nevsky Prospekt and Sadovaya/Sennaya/Spasskaya. Trolleybuses 5 and 22, and buses 22 and 27 get you there from anywhere along Nevsky - take one in the direction of St Isaac's and get off when you see the St Isaac's Cathedral. There are dozens of hotels around St Isaac's - chances are you're staying at one of them, and then it's a short walk to Teplo.
