It doesn’t get much more Saint Petersburg than this restaurant, the name of which is a pun on the Russian for sandwich (Buterbrod) and the Leningrad-born poet Joseph Brodsky. The interior is decorated with cyrillic typewriters and the Nobel Prize-winner’s verses on the walls, while the music occasionally cuts out so recordings of his poems can be pumped in. The food is a mix of Russian and Scandinavian fare, with smushi – very small bar snacks – for something lighter. The service is friendly and the nalivki – homemade liqueur – are must- try.
