This is a popular landmark restaurant that has for years has extended a warm and welcoming service and offer irresistible culinary delights to its guests. This family-run restaurant is more than a traditional tea room where you get a chance to travel through an era of Russian aristocracy, as you indulge in some of the most sumptuous and delectable delights. Capturing the grandeur of the old world is the décor of the place, which urges you to give into some luxurious indulgence. Even the restaurant’s close proximity to Chicago Art Institute, Orchestra Hall and several top theatres, make this place one of the most preferred dining venues in town. The chef and owner Klara Muchnik offers an elaborate menu that features the finest selection of vegetarian fare, poultry, specialty meat dishes and wild game.

At Russian Tea Time Chicago restaurant, the chef has sampled with classic Russian, Slavic and Jewish recipes to create a potpourri of Central Asian dishes. The menu offers a combination of starters, main courses and platters. Most of the recipes sound delicious tempting that the urge to order most of them is difficult to resist. Where starters are concerned, a good choice especially for vegetarians would be classic potato pancakes also known as Latkes, where five pieces of pancakes are topped with sour cream and warm applesauce. For those who prefer non-vegetarian can opt for Blinchiki, a preparation of 2 blintzes stuffed with ground beef and caramelized onions. Tossed in butter, this combination is served with greens and garnished with avocado coriander cream.
In main course short rib stew is a must, which includes beef stew served with mashed potatoes, carrot salad, marinated beets and baby pickle. The restaurant also serves wild game sausages, where wild venison and wild buffalo sausages are broiled and are served with spinach-tossed noodles, sautéed mushrooms and carrot salad. It is even known for its platters such as seafood platter for two that includes smoked salmon, peppered mackarel, Russian herring, Caspian salmon caviar, sardines, 4 fresh crepes and garnished with chopped onions, cucumbers, tomatoes. The best way to wash down all these delicious delicacies is with the famous Russian vodka shot. A visit to Russian Tea Time Chicago restaurant definitely promises a unique dining experience.
