Russia House Restaurant & Lounge

DUPONT CIRCLE. Why go to Russia when you can find vodka and caviar a short walk from Dupont Circle? Housed in an imposing stone townhouse, Russia House offers a regal lounge, over fifty varieties of vodka and traditional Russian cuisine. The splendor of Imperial Russia is reflected in the lounge's interior, adorned with fine art, marble decor and red damask wall coverings. Despite its apparent formality, on the weekends its Eastern European patrons flock to the lounge, creating a lively atmosphere. If fine dining is what you're after, the restaurant serves large and small plates, and menu offerings include vodka dill salmon, mushroom potato crocotte, oven roasted duck breast and beef stroganoff.
