Once an impressive showcase for an ambitious family business, Eliseevsky grocery store had seen some rough times but fortunately has been restored to its full art-deco magnificence. The stunning interiors make Eliseevsky a must-stop on a stroll along Nevsky and thanks to a recent bundle of changes a tired wanderer may comfortably relax in one of the store’s two restaurants or a charming coffee-shop located right in the middle of the store. The store itself offers a grand variety of slightly overpriced delicacies but as the pastramis and cheeses are tagged “per 100g” it’s easy to pick up a few treats and enjoy a picnic at a nearby Catherine’s Garden or the Fields of Mars.
