Sumptuously decorated in dark
woods and enjoying a very homely feel, this Lithuanian restaurant is a great spot for a
smart and interesting meal. If Lithuanian cuisine doesn't exactly get your mouth wa-
tering, then there are plenty of other dishes, including a range of delicious soups and
lots of grilled meats.

'Peter's City' is a classy German restaurant with an
impressive menu and cosy decor, and there's a separate bar where you can drink
home-brewed Pilsners and Weizens. The menu is all about meat, and particularly
sausages. See if you can manage the 1m-long Thüringer, served with onion sauce and
red cabbage.

Given its expensive nearby competition and the smartness of the area,
this place is a great deal and a convenient lunch stop between the museums of the
Strelka. The meaty menu has Russian and Caucasian standards and there's a good
value R200 business lunch. Add to that a pleasant summer terrace and this is a winner.
