Grand Cafe Dr. Jhivago Review

The Michelin restaurant downstairs from the National Hotel took two days to book. To be honest, the taste was average, and the service was even more average. The day before, I asked the hotel to help me book, but they said there were no seats left. The next day, I went to book the evening table by myself in the morning and got it. When we were eating in the evening, the front desk saw that we were Chinese and said impatiently that there were no seats left. I said in English very impolitely, "We have a reservation." She looked up the record and took us directly to the first seat, which was the worst seat next to the toilet. Michelin should be very clean, right? I actually saw flies here. To be honest, it's not right downstairs from our hotel. I really don't recommend it. It's better to eat Georgian food. I definitely won't step into the trap.

The appetizer bread was hot and crispy, the pan-fried silver cod was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, my friend said it was much better than the Japanese restaurant; the lobster risotto was also good, with strong cheese and lobster flavors, the vegetable salad was average. I didn't drink alcohol, but ordered a pot of Earl Grey tea.

[Taste] The dishes are good, but there is no special surprise. Cheese roast mushrooms and pumpkin soup are recommended. [Environment] Good location is the biggest highlight of the restaurant. The starting location of Tver Street is separated from the Red Square Street. Over the traffic, you can see the History Museum and the Kegong Tower. In summer, there are open-air dining [Service] mainly waitress. English is available. The price is touching. In summer 2017, the two used 3,000 rubles, about 300 yuan.

Remember to go out with cash, because there is no way to taste delicious food if you don't bring cash. This time I tasted delicious cakes and crisps, with appetizers, cold dishes, fish, pickles and salads, it was a very good dinner.

The interior of the restaurant has many Soviet elements, and the history of the restaurant is not short. The restaurant is mainly based on traditional Russian and creative dishes, and there are many types of vodka. The service and dishes taste are turbulence.

There is a coffee shop in the former Soviet Union, open 24 hours, the waiters inside are wearing a very Soviet feeling, it feels like Barbie, the coffee inside is good, the bread is delicious.
