It has been a few years since I was there, but I do remember this restaurant. My wife and I were traveling from Tallinn through St. Petersburg and onto Helsinki by train. This restaurant was close to the action (Nevsky Prospect) and was very clean. I didn't get that authentic feel, but I didn't have to worry about how it... More

Had a late lunch here. Found Ket by accident on a side street off Nevsky Prospekt. Small basement room, but well lit, clean, and attractive. Waiter spoke enough English to be helpful and offer some suggestions. Food hot, fresh, tasty. Had a hearty soup, a meat pie, and the Georgian cheese bread. Plan to go back for a dinner to... More

Hard to see the restaurant entrance if you're not looking for it. It's down stairs in the basement of the building with bomb shelter thick walls. The Georgian food is absolutely superb. Very small, quaint, and the lit-from-behind stain glass murals give it a romantic atmosphere. We ate here twice and the second time there were some noisy college-age students... More

I had dinner at ket this evening, and everything was wonderful! The food was tasty, the staff lovely and the atmosfere amazing. Loud laughter and smliling faces surrounded me all the time. This is truly a place you can take a break from the big city and enjoy a long meal instead!

This little restaurant is intimate, cozy and a lovely place for a quiet dinner for two. My first visit was in 1999 and I have been back many times. The service has been attentive and friendly. It has a larger reputation than it has square meters since the list of past clients is quite impressive, and for all to see... More

We had a great night at Cat - just off Nevsky - ordered too much food and probably wine - the house red (Georgian) is over priced but good quality - staff hysterical but good service - overall a fun night

We celebrated my husband's birthday at this restaurant and we had a perfect evening. I had tried to find another Georgian restaurant recommended on Trop advisor but couldn't and Cat was suggested by someone in the tourist office. We reserved in the afternoon but probably didn't need to on a Wednesday in October. The waiter in fact told us most... More

Restaurant conveniently located a half block off Nevsky Prospekt near Anichkov bridge. A "half basement" restaurant that is well signed and findable. Walked in and saw a bright and nicely decorated place but also had a bad first impression of wait staff asking if we had a reservation and then condescending to seat us despite the fact there was only...

I have had the opportunity to have a meal at Cat several times in the past few months and have always been very pleased by the food and the service over there. I particularly recommend the "Cat shashlik" if you're with a party of 3 or more. You get served about 5 or 6 skewers of different grilled meats (lamb,... More
