Pyshechnaya — Restaurant in Palace District

Pyshechnaya, located at Bolshaya Konyushennaya Street 25 in St. Petersburg, is a cherished institution renowned for its delectable, freshly made Russian donuts, known as “pyshki.” These warm, sugar-dusted treats are complemented perfectly by a cup of coffee or tea, offering a simple yet delightful culinary experience.
