Russian restaurants in Boston

  1. A

    Café Samovar

    Floral babushka scarves serve as tablecloths and the bar is bedecked with a silver samovar, creating an old-world atmosphere in this aptly named restaurant. The menu is alarmingly authentic - handmade pelmeni (dumplings), both sweet and savory; a good selection of rich and hearty soups (the salty, sour solyanka is recommended); salads with non-descriptive names. A pianist serenades guests Friday and Saturday nights.

    Café Stoli

    Get a taste of Russian hospitality at this tiny café. You might think this place is named for Stolichnaya vodka, but actually a stoli is an old-fashioned Russian teapot. The menu here is alarmingly authentic – handmade pelmeni (dumplings); a good selection of rich, hearty soups and pirozhki (pastries); as well as salads with nondescriptive names.
