Mumu

Mumu is an exclusive spot on the St. Petersburg dining and entertainment map. It is a very popular spot for the locals as well as for international visitors.

Named after Turgenev's story about a dumb yard- keeper Gerasim who had drowned his dog Mumu at the order of his landowner's wife, the cafe even has the figures of these characters sitting in one of the halls. The atmosphere is very quiet and cozy. Comfortable seats, big green lampshades in the dinner- hall, strict and business- like furniture in the bistro- hall make you welcome.

Middle European cuisine combines with traditional Russian meals (like herring with boiled potatoes). A variety of soups are on the menu - from Finnish salmon soup to French clear soups. Various fish (trout in wine) and meat (steak with bacon) dishes are available for your consumption. There's a wide choice of alcoholic drinks, including one called 'Gerasim'.

Mumu cooks nice, home- style Russian dishes. It's not a posh place, and you serve yourself. There are two rooms, smoking and non- smoking, and a terrace outside. Dinner costs - , which makes it one of the cheapest places in the Arbat area.

Hours : Vary.
