Set in a lavish double townhouse, this restaurant and cabaret is furnished like a majestic Russian palace, with ornate antique furniture, intricate china and etched glass, old-world oil paintings and 19th-century photographs. The extravagance extends to the food, with Russian classics like blinis with sour cream and caviar, zakuska (the Russian equivalent of tapas), borscht made with pork and dill, and sturgeon baked in puff pastry.
