Lonely Planet review

'Dostoevsky loved this place!' boasts an advertisement for this atmospheric expat institution. And why wouldn't he? The food is nothing to write novels about, but vegetarians are likely to disagree, as there is not a single animal on the menu. In any case, the cosy subterranean space, the antique furnishings and crowded bookshelves, and the ever-amiable crowd make it an extremely pleasant place to come to eat or drink.
