A DOLL’S HOUSE
Imagine going to visit an eccentric, vodka-loving Russian granny and carbo-loading with her in her slightly kitsch, folksy, overstuffed home. Mari Vanna, a Russian restaurant in Knightsbridge, lovingly serves up Russian classics, such as caviar, as well as more humble fare, such as little meat-stuffed dumplings that come with soured cream or cabbage leaves stuffed with pork, veal and rice. The calf’s liver in truffle sauce is a study in richness — just the thing for cold January nights. The restaurant — which also does a lovely afternoon tea — is one of a small chain, with outposts in Moscow, Saint Petersburg and New York. — JULIA NEEL
