In a category all its own, this elegant restaurant in the Grand Hotel Europe serves fine Russian and Continental cuisine. The breathtaking interior—complete with an art nouveau stained-glass roof, shining parquet floors, and private balconies—is fit for a tsar, as are the prices. The menu is simply mouthwatering, with some dishes inspired by authentic royal recipes. Try the venison marinated in vodka and juniper berries, or the lobster, sturgeon, and salmon à la Russe. If you're not up to an expensive dinner, consider the buffet breakfast or popular Sunday champagne-and-caviar brunch. Reserve well ahead, particularly in summer.
