Russian Tea Time

Chicago is the home of countless fantastic places in which to eat.  Every time I am able to be in the city, I find an array of places that look divine.  It is impossible to have bored tastebuds.  Recently, for a Russian friend’s birthday party, I went to Russian Tea Time.

I had never eaten Russian food before so I was unsure of what to expect.  I, along with five other ladies, dressed up and were excited to try something new.  When we arrived, we were seated and immediately served.  Beginning with bread, I was fascinated by the rose-shaped butter.  The bread was different than what I was used to but still tasty.

From that point, large plates of food were being brought from the kitched to our table, seemingly never ending.  The food was delicious!  From caviar, to potatoes, to different types of salad, everything was different to what I am accustomed to.  Still, I enjoyed every bite!

As the name advertises, tea time was next.  There was a large array of teas from which to choose.  I am a devoted tea-phile, and this part of the night was my favorite. Rose Black tea pleased my tastebuds and very pleasantly swam down my throat, alongside the delicious cakes that we ordered.

I highly recommend that you go to Russian Tea Time.  Chicago offers a taste of different cultures on practically every street and it would be a shame not to take advantage.
