Russkaya Rybalka (Russian Fishing Expedition) Review

For a more hands-on dining experience, head to this island escape and catch your own meal. This restaurant harvests local fish that customers can reel in themselves, and its chefs then clean and prepare it to order. Catfish, eel, carp, crayfish, sterlet, and even sturgeon are among the offerings, but the choice depends on the season. Ducks and swans populate the ponds, too, but are not on the menu. Among the dozens of homemade sauces, the garlic-almond cream sauce is the standout. You can sit on the sunny terrace or rent out little heated wooden huts that seat six to eight and have your food brought to you there -- huts cost 1,800 rubles for 1 hour, 2,300 rubles for 2 hours or more. The restaurant is welcoming and offers a generous children's play area. In a taxi or car, it's just 10 or 15 minutes from the city center, but on public transport you have to walk a good 15 minutes from the nearest metro.

About Our System

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.
