Княгининский двор
A Volga-style restaurant that recreates the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary Tsaritsyn. It serves river fish and Russian dishes made with produce from its own farm, and it is a rare refined restaurant in the city.
Located at 8 Academy Street, south of the city center. The interior recreates the atmosphere of pre-revolutionary Tsaritsyn, the former name of Volgograd, and there is a terrace in summer. The menu centers on Russian and Volga regional dishes with European touches, and some ingredients come from its own farm. Reviewers recommend Volga pikeperch and other river fish, slow-braised beef, pear-roasted duck and potato cakes with pikeperch roe. The pavlova dessert is also well liked. It has a 4.5 rating on TripAdvisor and is ranked as the city's top romantic restaurant. Afisha lists prices at 1,000–3,000 RUB, but actual averages are 2,000–3,000 RUB per person.
