The IDIOT
The IDIOT serves Russian dishes with a meat and fish focus but includes some vegetarian and limited vegan options like mushroom soup and dumplings. The setting features a historic interior by a canal, creating a quiet atmosphere favored by tourists, with English-speaking staff and bilingual menus. Prices are moderate for Russia, and while some diners find the food and ambiance enjoyable, vegans should inquire carefully due to occasional egg usage in vegetarian items.
