| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 Originally opened in 1924 by White Russian immigrants under the name Rejans, this legendary restaurant has hosted luminaries from Mustafa Kemal Ataturk to Agatha Christie, Ernest Hemingway to Mata Hari. Table No. 2, where Ataturk often sat, remains permanently reserved in his honor. Today diners can relive those glory days in a beautifully restored and opulent setting featuring eye-catching panelling and mirrors that exude historical grandeur. The kitchen puts a modern spin on Russian specialties - generous portions of stuffed pirozhki and beef Stroganoff with juicy meat and amazing flavor. Live music creates a buzzing atmosphere.
Editor's Tip
