The name as motto: Mari Vanna, a figure from Russian folklore, took in strangers and offered princely hospitality. Among Russian antiques, you quickly feel as if you were in the home of friends when in this restaurant. It’s not uncommon for other guests or the staff to join your table after the second or third round of vodka. Next to such Russian specialties as blinis and smoked fish, the menu boasts more than 20 kinds of vodka.
