Fodor's Expert Review Datsha Underground
If you're seeking good food among a chicest-of-chic crowd, this beautifully designed restaurant—whose sole aim is to provide you a "sensorial experience"—is just the place. Chef Baptiste Trudel, a Top Chef contender, concocts gastronomic dishes that you might find at a fantasy of a Russian country getaway—beef tartare with red wine–shallot "caviar" or a rich black pudding of squid and mushrooms—paired with wines from a truly impressive list. In the dusky and DJ-helmed Spootnik bar downstairs, you can indulge in a nightcap (and a range of good tapas).
