“KARELIA” RESTAURANT
A light and spacious hall in the hotel “Karelia” first floor with a stage in the rear. In the evening at the week-end live music is played (chamber jazz, blues and Latino orchestras). In sport rush days football matches are broadcast for you on a large screen. On week-days light and low background music is played you pay no attention to. The sound creates a cozy atmosphere without interfering with your business talk. There is a Wi-Fi zone.
The restaurant interior is in Hi-wood style by Maria Tarassova and «Eco- Hi-Tech» style. If the latter demonstrates technical progress and dreams of the future, the former emphasizes natural materials adapted to modernity. Different textures combination stresses the line clarity and well organized space; the tones are mostly soft; natural material (wood and stone) and Celtic motives are used for the decoration. The wine card is really charming, including the best wines of all the continents and region. Even the hоusе wine line (wine in glasses) is very attractive including the French Chardonnays and Merlot, the Georgian Krudgelauri both red and white. The strong liqueurs choice is no less impressive: a dozen sorts of scotch, Irish whiskey and bourbon, twenty varieties of cognac – including the obligatory Hennessy XO, Martel, Remy Martin, Otard and Croivasier. Brandy, liqueur, rum, gin, absinth. The cigar list is up to the mark: two dozens of sorts from Cuba – from «Koiba Singlo I» to «Romeo and Julia” and “Churchill”; there are cigars from Dominicana, Nicaragua and Honduras. But it is worth while to distract one’s attention from the wine card in favor of the main menu At first it seems more modest . But every item is impressive. Salads and cold collations – salmon with red bilberries , sea foods, spicy pork with pine-apples. The soups – Finnish fish soup with cream, potpourri, Karelian beet soup.
There are only three fish courses, but to any taste – salmon steak, trout with mussels and pike perch. Very surprising is the meat course variety – from traditional steaks and medallions – to pork roll, lamb on bone and duck. And there is a wide choice of sauces to finish with. It is no problem if you fail to pay homage to them being too absorbed by savoring the main course– tasty desserts are waiting for you: delicacy cheese, fruit, cheese and honey carpaccio and traditional cakes and tarts.
