Russian Samovar Restaurant and Piano Bar

An amazing place. Festive decorations, a very cozy atmosphere, excellent Slavic cuisine, and highly professional service. I especially want to highlight the unique and memorable presentation of the cocktails. In short — a fantastic restaurant. Definitely worth visiting, especially during the holiday season.

Between the laughter, the dancing, and the clinking of glasses, it felt like we were transported straight into a celebration somewhere in the heart of Eastern Europe.
