"Meals at the popular Knightsbridge restaurant are equal parts opulent and homey, with the atmosphere of an intimate townhouse dinner party hosted by a recently widowed Russian heiress. A word of advice to avoid getting lost in the extensive menu: Start with an Olivier salad. This Russian staple created in 1860 has survived over a century of socio-political upheaval and corresponding iterations in ingredients. For those feeling bourgeois — order the ox tongue version; for those who perhaps identify a little further to the Left — try one with doktorskaya kolbasa (“doctor’s sausage,” the Russian poor man’s mortadella)." - Daria Kyrilova
