Brasserie Kriek

Brasserie Kriek on Moskovsky Avenue is a Belgian brasserie in St Petersburg built around two central ideas: modern author-led cooking and a carefully selected collection of Belgian beer. The setting is described as cosy and refined, making the restaurant suitable for relaxed meals, social gatherings and evenings centred on beer and food.

The kitchen draws on traditional recipes from different parts of Belgium, then presents them alongside European dishes in a contemporary interpretation. Seafood has a place in the menu, while the broader style combines brasserie cooking with a more polished restaurant approach. The food is designed to carry a clear Belgian influence without being limited to a strictly traditional format.

Beer is the defining feature of the drinks list. The collection includes around 100 Belgian varieties, covering a wide range of styles and flavour profiles. The name Kriek refers to a Belgian cherry-beer style made with ripe red cherries, and the restaurant’s beer selection reflects the wider brewing culture for which Belgium is known. Beer sommeliers are available to explain the history and character of different bottles and pours, which adds an informative element to the dining experience.

The drinks menu also includes more than 40 wines, a broad selection of non-alcoholic beer, cocktails and spirits. This gives the restaurant flexibility for mixed groups, with beer enthusiasts, wine drinkers and guests avoiding alcohol all able to find a relevant option. Pairing food with a particular beer style or choosing a drink independently both fit the brasserie format.

Brasserie Kriek is located at 192-194 Moskovsky Avenue, with the postcode 196070. Its combination of Belgian culinary references, European restaurant cooking and an expansive beer-led drinks programme makes it a natural choice for diners interested in Belgium’s food and brewing traditions, as well as for those looking for a comfortable restaurant with a strong drinks focus.
