Bellevue ReviewClose to Market Square and the Uspenski Orthodox cathedral, the Bellevue has been an enduring favorite since 1917 because of its good cooking and its nostalgia for all things tsarist and Russian. You can dine in a long, corridor-like dining room or in one of the smaller, cozier side rooms. Herring, still served Russian style, is always a good appetizer, as are blinis and caviar. The chicken Kiev, filet of beef with herb-flavored butter, and pot-roasted bear steak (limited by the fact that Finland allows only 70 bears killed per year) are highlights on the menu. For dessert, try a flaming baba cake. Russian wine is served. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
