A street full of bars and restaurants – not a dream, but a reality. Rubinshtein Street in St Petersburg is well-known for the fast majority of places where you can taste international dishes, have an evening drink, relax in a pleasant atmosphere alone or in a company of friends. It is definitely the main restaurant street in Saint Petersburg, and probably in whole Russia.
The street of beautiful architecture is located in the historical part of the Northern Russian capital. It was built in the XVIII century and first carried a name of Golovin Lane. 50 years after it was renamed to Troitskaya. At USSR times the street was decided to call after the composer Rubinshtein who lived there in building no.38.
