Square Meal Review of Sobranie ?

If you’ve ever dreamed of being ‘back in the USSR’, this glass-walled restaurant near the Victoria Palace shopping mall might fit the bill. Sobranie translates as ‘gathering’, & the place oozes convivial glasnost with live music & dancing every Friday & Saturday. Meanwhile, the kitchen assembles a mishmash of dishes from old Russia, the Caucasus, France & beyond – from ‘coated herrings’ (with eggs, beetroot & mayo), salad mimosa, borscht & Siberian pelmeni dumplings to aubergine caviar, moules marinière, Hungarian goulash & spaghetti with pesto sauce, not forgetting that international stalwart chicken Kiev. To finish, try kartoshka – sweet confections made to look like dumpy ‘potatoes’. Shots of Russian vodka & glasses of Georgian wine are de rigueur, & two-course weekday lunches (£10.95) are a steal for the local business crowd.

    Very Russian place! Lots of peculiar russian things in the decor from Samovar at the bar to great traditional paintings on the walls. Russian live music was great and my friends enjoyed kalinka-malinka song a lot! We tried russian flavored vodka and herring in russian style was a great compliment to that! Greatly recommend to try a cherry vodka :))) My favorite Golubzi( staffed cabbage) were awesome! Honey and walnut cake was so tasty that we ordered an extra piece! Very enjoyable evening!

    Exceptional What a fantastic place this is. There were 6 of us and we all tried some of each others dishes and they were all mouthwatering and distinct, the balance just seemed to be perfect for everything. The service is excellent and everything about the place has an air of quality. This was my second time here and I was even more impressed than I was the first time round! Recommended!

    This is a very good restaurant! I can say that it is a real “Sobranie” of everything- good food, good music, good staff, good atmosphere! Very Russian place- new Russian, I would say. The attitude to Russia now changes a lot,so there is a big interest to our country and our culture. The food is a part of Russian culture, so it is very important how good the food is! In Sobranie restaurant the food is delicious, so if you want to try a real Russian food come to Sobranie!
