Traktir

Located in West Hollywood, Traktir specializes in authentic Russian cuisine. It's namesake translates into tavern, a place to enjoy food and drinks with others. Signature dishes include borscht, a Ukranian-inspired, beef-based soup with beets, cabbage, potatoes and dill, and their chicken tabaka, a pan-seared Cornish hen in garlic wine sauce. If you're more of a beef person, try the beef stroganoff: sliced beef in a mushroom cream sauce served with mashed potatoes. Craving a shot? Their homemade infused vodka comes in unique flavors such as cranberry, pepper garlic and lemon. Your chaser: a sliver of pickled cucumber. Cheers!
