It can be hard to get a table sometimes, what with the studenty crowd filling up the sofas at all hours, but the consistently delicious and inexpensive food at this cafe-restaurant is worth the wait. They serve classic Russian dishes often with a healthy twist, using fresh ingredients and providing an impressive number of vegetarian options. There's also a kind of bookish appeal in their leather bound, atlas-inspired menus and the atmosphere is decidedly conducive to lingering.
