"Housed in the former Olsufiev family residence that later became Moscow’s Central House of Writers, this historic dining room combines faded aristocratic grandeur—a gigantic chandelier once from Komsomolskaya metro hangs above—with a menu of classic Soviet comfort foods. Tables are laden with pirozhki, Pozharsky cutlets, mushrooms with onion and Olivier salad, all washed down with horseradish vodka, creating a nostalgic, convivial atmosphere that evokes the city’s literary and social past." - Matthew Luxmoore
