More information on Russian Tea Time

Another spot very popular with Chicago Symphony Orchestra patrons and musicians, Russian Tea Time is far from being the simple tea cafe that its name implies. This family-owned restaurant's extensive menu is like a minitour through the cuisine of czarist Russia and the former Soviet republics (for Russian neophytes, all the dishes are well described). The atmosphere is old-world and cozy, with lots of woodwork and a friendly staff. Start off a meal with potato pancakes, blini with Russian caviar, or chilled smoked sturgeon; if you can't decide, there are a number of mixed appetizer platters to share. My top entree picks are the beef stroganoff; kulebiaka (meat pie with ground beef, cabbage, and onions); and roast pheasant served with a brandy, walnut, and pomegranate sauce and brandied prunes. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
