Garmoshka

Top choice in Western European Russia


Housed in a historic building, and done up like a wealthy merchant's home, Garmoshka is the fanciest night out in town. The atmospheric tone is traditional Russia, replete with antiques, a library filled with books of famous authors from the region, staff clad in traditional Russian dress and piano music filling the rooms. The menu is Russian classics, featuring exotic meats (including bear).
