Russian Renaissance Restaurant

Historic Russian Banquet Venue

Russian Renaissance Restaurant is one of the first Russian restaurants in San Francisco, California, opened in 1959. Today the venue primarily hosts private celebrations and banquets rather than operating as a daily walk-in restaurant. The interior features reproductions of Marc Chagall paintings, and over the years the restaurant has hosted four different US presidents among its guests. The menu features classic Russian dishes, including fish in aspic, salmon, sweet cheese pastries, Chicken Kiev, and Ukrainian dumplings.
