Chekhov

With its Old World furniture and wooden floorboards, this sprawling, light-bathed estate in the middle of Minsk recreates the genteel world of one of Anton Chekhov's provincial families. Chef Artyom Raketsky uses all-Belarusian ingredients to create nouvelle cuisine à la belarussie such as beef stroganoff with cognac sauce or salmon with stewed bulgar and shrimp sauce.
