Fodor's Expert Review Café Mishi Blyahera

Tucked away down a steep set of stairs, this quirky, vintage-style restaurant is as popular for its food as it is for its convivial, eclectic atmosphere. It was inspired by a notebook belonging to an unknown author by the name of Mishi Blyahera, which was full of recipes, many of which feature on the frequently changing menu. Expect a wide selection of salads, meat dishes, and sweet treats (think Belgian waffles with strawberries). The interiors of this cozy basement restaurant have the feeling of a vintage furniture shop, with mismatched chests of drawers, bookshelves stuffed with old tomes, and low-hung lamps.
