Teplo is the Russian word for "warmth". Warmth is what the residents of St. Petersburg often crave, and perhaps that's why they love this place so much. Judging by the impressive number of country flags on the map of Teplo customers, they are not alone. The restaurant has a homey vibe to it – there are familiar household items scattered everywhere and the walls are lined with photographs as if you were visiting a friend. The staff are extremely friendly and fluent in English. The food and desserts feel home-cooked, just like your grandma's pies. The place is not only suitable for children, it's like it's been designed for them — from little babies to their older siblings. Need another reason to drop by? Here you go: it's awfully nice to have a glass of wine sitting on a veranda with flowers and fairy lights all around you.
