A La Ville de Petrograd restaurant in Paris just opposite the Orthodox Church is a Paris institution. The doors first opened in 1924, the same year that Petrograd itself was rechristened Leningrad and Russian history entered a newer, darker era. But in this premier restaurant, everything is rose-coloured, comfortable and charming, utterly chockablock with Russian treasures rescued from the old country, attracting a starry clientele as well as politicians and old Russian nobility. Dishes favour the great flavours of that cuisine, like beef stroganoff, caviar on blinis, smoked fish, Russian salads. And if you're a big balalaika fan, you should make your way here right away, as live music is a frequent feature here.
