Russian restaurants and chefs are already in the world's top rankings. But there is also the traditional Russian cuisine, well on display at Matryoshka whose enthusiastic chef Vlad Piskunov is reviving Russia's cooking traditions based on old recipes. Cafe Pushkin best serves the smart variation of Russian cuisine heavily influenced by French, while the most iconic features of Soviet cuisine are to be found at Dr. Zhivago and Voskhod. This diversity is what Russian cuisine represents today with its roots in tradition, yet reimagined and rebuilt to fit the standards of the 21st century. One of the less appreciated cuisines in the world, it is evolving by leaps and bounds.
