Fodor's Review:

A refined and intimate restaurant with prerevolutionary flair, "Molokhovets' Dream" has a tantalizing menu entirely based on a famous 19th century cookbook by the Russian Mrs. Beaton, Yelena Molokhovets ("A Gift to Young Housewives"), which inspired many culinary episodes in works by Russian writers. Cooking is state-of-the-art here. Try venison fillet accompanied by baked pears filled with cranberries and soaked in chanterelle sauce, foie gras with hot saffron sauce and iced apples, or pike-perch soaked in a piquant sauce made with red caviar. The restaurant's solid waiters show reverence to the guests, serving them in a pleasant ceremonial, but not at all artificial, manner. The cuisine is grand yet the place itself is relaxing. With only six tables, booking is recommended.
