History
From the time of Catherine the Great, every family of influence imported both the products and personnel--mainly German, Austrian, and French--to bring the finest, rarest, and most creative foods to their table. This is nowhere more evident than in the exciting, elegant, highly nuanced, and decadent repertoire of the Franco-Russian chef. Many of the foods that are considered in the West to be traditionally Russian actually come from the Franco-Russian cuisine of the 18th and 19th centuries, and include such widespread dishes as Beef Stroganoff, and Chicken Kiev. Kabaret not only carries through these historic Russian origins but continuously carries them out with exquisiteness and faultlessness expanding upon them to delight even the most finicky palate lavishing it's guests with a flavor of the world.
