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.
