Kvartira 44

A friend recommended this place to me, and after trying, I have to do the same! The hardest part is finding it: it is hidden on a small street leading to Bolshaya Nikitskaya litsa. Once inside, you can choose between two levels, with separate areas for smokers and nonsmokers. The staff are friendly, offering plenty of advice about the menu - there are lots of foreign dishes, but I wanted to try something Russian. Everything I ate was delicious, and the prices weren't bad. The best part came after: the music stopped and a boy and a girl started to play the piano and sing traditional songs in different languages, especially Russian and French, but also in Italian.
