Beijing boasts a substantial Russian community, many of them attached to the nearby embassy. The
decor is more ski lodge than Russian, but there's no mistaking the hearty fare and the raucous clientele.
Generous shots of Stolinichya vodka will get you warmed up for some borscht, the baked carp with
cheese will put a lining on your stomach, and the salmon pancake is an excellent lighter dish. The show-
stopping dish is the enormous salmon skewers. Most mains come with side dishes of salad and
mashed potato, and everything is covered in parsley. Don't miss the pickled cherry tomatoes and
Russian beer (¥20, $3)
