In the mood to try something different tonight? - What about some Russian food?  Some say it is pricey but very good and it is only 5 minutes walk away from the guesthouse.

Restaurant review from one of our guests

Monday, May 7th, 2007
By the way, we had a nice dinner at Bistrot au Coin our last night (just past the Russia House). It was crowded and noisy, but good food and wine, and a classic French bistrot atmosphere — it could have been transplanted directly from Paris. You can pass this recommendation on to your guests too.
