The Russian Tea Room is all about great food, culture, history, beauty, respect for tradition and art, love, and war. It is about historic Russia at its best, with its huge empire and more than a hundred ethnic groups once spanning from Europe’s borders, across Mongolia into China.
Members of Russia’s Imperial Ballet built The Russian Tea Room in 1927, ten years after the Bolshevik Revolution, to maintain the beauty and authenticity of the nation’s culture, history, and tradition. It soon became the gathering place for Russian celebrities and a meeting place for Russians expatriates.
