Troyka

A Michelin-starred fine dining restaurant in a small Rhineland town, Troyka builds set menus around a genuinely uncommon premise: modern European cooking filtered through a Russian sensibility, so dill, beetroot, and vareniki appear alongside seasonal venison or line-caught fish. Counter seats face the open kitchen if you want the full show. The sommelier's wine pairings tend toward the unexpected, which keeps a tasting menu from feeling like homework.
