A feast for the senses

While Staraya Ladoga guard our banquet hall, you will spend the night with family and friends feasting, drinking and being merry while our dancers, jesters and musicians take you back in time.

Banquet menu

Following the ceremony of the High Table, the first of 2 removes is served. A remove, or course, consists of several dishes both savoury and sweet. The dishes are placed on platters in the centre of the table and shared between guests. The final course of the evening is called an issue and consists of dried and fresh fruit, nuts and cheese.
