1886 is literally the worst elevated restaurant I’ve ever been to in my entire life. The only good thing is the service since it’s in Sofitel which is a five star hotel. We ordered the salmon rolls, lobster soup, grilled fillet with sea bass and...More

Formal restaurant with a regal past

An experience

Located in the Winter Palace, jacket required for dinner, provided by restaurant if you don’t have one. You can imagine yourself sitting there in 1886, the decor and table setting was magnificent. Service outstanding. Food was disappointing, had duck breast which came with a few...More

Worth the visit

Yes, jackets are required, but with a much better menu than Victoria Room at comparable prices it is worth making that reservation. Outstanding service.

1886: Historic setting but disappointing food

The 1886 is an instituion. Located in the Winter Palace hotel, it brings back the atmosphere of the late 19th and early 20th century. Guests are asked to wear formal attire, even if the definition of formal does not necessarily extend beyond requiring men to...More
