Mari Vanna Enchants Knightsbridge

By Sholto Douglas-Home

After Moscow, St. Petersburg and New York, Knightsbridge is the latest outpost of the mini-chain Mari Vanna, named after a mythical hostess who entertained locals with her culinary creations. A chintzy setting (replete with tiny dolls, trinkets and a decorative Pechka stove) is the cosy backdrop to an expensive array of babushka-style Russian dishes, exuding strong influences from Armenia, Georgia and Uzbekistan.
