Copenhagen's Tyvenkokkenha skoneoghende - eselsker! locally know as 'Tyven' ( Magstr. 16, Tel: 3316 1292 ) is a contemporary restaurant with a reputation for slightly off the wall seven course meals. Baked cod in coffee apparently is not uncommon! Though a little adventurous the quality of food is good and the combinations are refreshingly succesful. The desserts are even more intriquing.
St Petersburg the Russian Comrade Restaurant has two distinctly different dining rooms offering the same menu. One room, (pro the old Soviet lifestyle) is dedicated to the memory of Lenin and screens old black and white movies on televisions screens accompanied by modern music. The other room which has opposing political sentiments has an air of chaos about it with various items the wrong way up. On the walls there are very graphic and explicit murals depicting Lenin's sex life with different lovers. Oh and by the way it offers good food is which is predominantly traditional Russian but accompanied by a few international bistro dishes. The service is good and the prices are average. Well worth the experience.
In Moscow good Russian food 24 hours a day is available from the Bochka Restaurant. This establishment is expensive but very reliable and frequented by indigenious Russians of all ages especially those in business. On Fridays. it has a tradition of roasting wild game (bulls and goats) on a split.
In Chisinau The Curtea Vinatorolui offers a wide range of European and local dishes and innovatively a small zoo for children who get bored listening to adults.
In Sarajevo the Basenji Restoran on the northbank of the river and 200m from The National Library has a good range of local dishes, accompanied by excellent salads and offers a few Italien dishes as well. Patrons might need to check prices on bill compared with menu.
Belgrade's the Dva Jelena restaurant is located in one of the most popular eating areas in Belgrade which at one time was very 'Bohemian'. An extensive range of traditional tasteful Serbian dishes is complimented by traditional folk music together give it a very relaxed ambience.
In Riga the Marrutku Maizites offers a range of Eastern Europe food and a compatible range of Vodka! The food is good and very cheap. It's main attraction is the old decor which gives you the impression that one of Stalins foot soldiers may appeat at any moment.
Budapest's the Vista Travel Cafe is high class cafe which is frequented by backpackers and professional Hungarians who hold business lunches there. It also serves as a cybercafe and an information centre. The food is good though it can take a while to arrive. It also states on the menu that the kitchen staff can be a little exciteable so sometimes the wait is interestng. Next stop Fawlty Towers!
Amsterdam's Pymga Lion with its fare of antelope crocodile and Zebra may appeal. These dishes are expensive but the alternative vegatarian dishes are averagely priced.
Vilnius's The Ad Astum ) has to be one of Eastern Europes most unique restaurants. It has an international menu offering good food at very reasonable which you can watch being cooked at the grill in the centre of the a tastefully decorated room. Also on the menu is a sauna and small swimming pool. Rare - but could it be a precedent for an intimate meal out ?
In Reykjavik the Rauðara Steakhouse at two menus. Traditional Icelandic seasonal food including fish horsemeat puffin reindeer and whale. This food though acclaimed by some is expensive. For those on a budget or less adventurous there is a very affordable tourist menu. Either way theres is a warm welcome.
