A night in Trojka..
What does one expect when embarking up on a journey in a three horsed chariot (Trojka) to feast all night? Decadent glamour - lots of gold , red and flash... Trojka restaurant in Belsize park delivers all that but with a twist. Up on entering the restaurant one goes through a time loop and finds oneself in an eighties expat, soviet cafe with too much lighting and mellow service speed.
Russians say "the appetite comes when the meal is broth forth"; after finally making our order we received the food very fast and drowned in nostalgia for the old soviet union. Big hearty dishes full of wholesome, traditional food went down very well with iced vodka shots and black tea with cherry shots put a good end to a hearty meal.
All in all if you want to give someone an unpretentious taste of Russia hop into Trojka.
