Pasternak

Frommer's Review

Its setting, a pink-walled dining room within a distinguished-looking 150-year-old building adjacent to a synagogue in what used to be the eastern zone, evokes nostalgia in many of its patrons. Menu items read like what the characters might have ordered in a novel by Dostoevsky: borscht, blinis, chicken Kiev, pork skewers with pomegranate and walnut sauce, Russian-style ravioli (taig Taschen) stuffed with spinach and cheese, beef Stroganoff, and Russian-style hot apple tart. Expect generous portions, an evocative setting, and the kind of clients who don't necessarily remember the former Russian regime in Berlin with any particular distaste. You might get the vague suspicion that some, in fact, might even miss it.
