Saint-Petersburg is a truly European city, so no wonder that the average bill in the restaurant is about 20€ without drinks. Nevertheless you can find a variety of affordable cafes with healthy and tasty food in the city center. Just try to get off the Nevsky prospect and don't be afraid of going into not so fancy-looking places.
One thing you should definitely try is the most popular street food here: doner kebab (about 3,5€) and the vegetarian version – roll with cabbage and falafel.
There is a number of vegetarian places. At average restaurants vegetarian dishes often have a special sign so you wouldn't get confused.
Feel free to check if there's a special price for breakfast/lunch combo. In almost every cafe they have one!

It is the best place to chat with friends while playing board games, indulging in limitless cookies and coffee/tea or munching on some cereal. Great view looking onto Nevsky prospect, movie nights and different lectures at the weekends.

The place is quite central and cozy, which makes it a perfect place to chill out with a cup of coffee, especially if you have a sweet tooth. Takeaways are traditionally cheaper and there is a 20% discount during the last working hour.

If you are somewhere near project "Etagi", don't miss the chance to visit this place: little exhibitions on the walls, exit to the wide veranda with giant papier mache parrots and possibility to eat/have a drink in the open air. Menu for vegetarians and cheap cider make this place even cooler!

Walking from Gorkovskaya metro towards Peter-and-Paul fortress it is easy to walk by, but do step inside that grotto to find one of the most adorable and cozy places in St-Pete, where you can get a great coffee and some food and take a long awaited break

This chain of bakeries is conveniently spread around the city and is popular for their delicious a la home-made pies. Love their green onions and cabbage ones because they remind me of childhood. Salmon and apple with cinnamon are also very good, but all in all you’ll have no choice but getting back to try them all. Soups are also worth trying

It’s definitely recommended for a coffee or light meal, if you are in the area. By the way don't be shy and try their photo booth while waiting for your order! And feel free to join in the bar quiz at 7.30 on Tuesdays

The place makes you feel at home and a little bit nostalgic, even if you have not lived in the Soviet Union. The food is delicious, made Grandma-style. There are plenty of everyday life items, home-made preserves on the shelves. Have some meat from the smokehouse or go for a tea pot with "sushki", Russian crunchy dry pastries.

It may be the only place in the centre where you can get 100% healthy food at a really low price. Full lunch witha soup, salad, main and a drink will cost you about 250 rub (about 5,5 euros). Besides the food you can also replenish the inner spirit: сoncerts, lectures, and exhibitions of artists and photographers-vegetarians are held here weekly.

With such a variety and adequate pricing it is a great option for pretty much any meal. Everybody can find here something to suit their appetite and pocket. From 21.00 till 23.00 there is a discount on all the food - 50%. Also good for takeaway.

If you don't care too much about the interior of the place (that's how they probably look in Lebanon though), but are looking for a cheap place to eat worth the money, this cafe would definitely cover your expectations. There's no meat in the menu, but their delicious falafel wouldn't let you go unsatisfied.

It's a good place if you need to work a bit or simply turned out to be nearby: stable wi-fi, delicious food, nice selection of teas/coffees and very attentive service. You can also check a shop in the cafe named after russian designer "Lebedev's store" to buy little gifts for your closest ones.

It can be recommended as a breakfast option or one of alternative concert spots, though do check the playbill first. They also organize board games nights (you can ask for games free of charge, while there during the day) and some art markets. Entrance to the evening/night events would cost 6-12€.

Finding an affordable place to try local cuisine in Saint-Petersburg may become a real challenge as you'd most likely get directed to a fancy place locals never eat at. Kolobok helps you at that point by offering wide variety of local dishes by average fast food prices: Solyanka, Borsh, Kotleta po Kievsky, Sosiska v Teste and so on.

This place has a friendly and artistic atmosphere. Creative interior inspired by Frida Kahlo art, smell of shisha and occassionally local musicians. To call a waiter, you ring a small bell. Here you can lose the sense of time, the place is very relaxing, romantic and inspiring.
