I'd actually heard of Stolle from the St. Petersburg part of my Rough Guide. The specialty pies of salmon and seasonal berries sounded excellent. Unfortunately there was already a host of other places there that I wanted to eat. A lot of my preparations for solo travelling in the Golden Ring came from the In Your Pocket guide and I was really excited to see Stolle was listed there too. Other than Sobraniye and Imedi cafe, there weren't any other places that interested me for the brief 24 hours I was there, so this was a good snack to go for during the mid-afternoon whilst wandering around the sites.
- Rybnik fish pie;
- Season berry pie;
- Kulyebaka with meat.
The first two were the recommended choices for the St. Petersburg part of the Rough Guide. The last was to round out the meal. The crusts were firm and the breads soft and the fillings nice too. The fish was more pleasurable than the meat and the sweet berries rounded off the mini meal.
