Caviar, caviar and caviar is the reason for visiting this elegant, old-fashioned eatery with its mirrors and sculptures. In addition to the great salty roe, you’ll find an ultraluxurious brand of Franco-Russian cuisine that includes classics such as borscht, assorted Russian zazuska (tapas) such as smoked salmon (served with cold shots of vodka—ask for Zyr, one of the best from Russia), and other glamorous plates, including foie gras prepared several different ways and, of course, beef Stroganoff.
