Founded by two Russians and a Crimean fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution, and now run by their widows, this place has excellent Russian food and lemon vodka, as well as Turkish dishes. The interior has remained basically unchanged since the 1930s. During World War II, when Turkey remained neutral, diplomats and spies from the Allies and Axis powers used to dine here, glowering at each other from different tables. Reservations essential.
