Festive Dinner Menu "Winter Boyar Feast"

Winter feasts in Old Russia were always distinguished by their grandeur, merchant-like generosity and genuine warmth of heart. When frost crackled outside the windows and snowstorms buried settlements beneath the snow, the stoves in the boyars’ splendid mansions were heated until they glowed, and oak tables were laid, groaning under the weight of delicacies. Winter hospitality called for special, nourishing dishes to warm guests after a long journey: game from the deep taiga forests, the bounty of the rivers, hearty broths and hot homemade pastries were brought to the table. The host’s foremost principle was to treat guests so that everyone could experience the true generosity of the Slavic spirit. Restaurant Troika invites you to revive these centuries-old traditions and enjoy the atmosphere of an authentic boyar feast, where every dish is prepared according to old recipes and served with our signature hospitality.
