Opulence in Russia is a kind all its own - unapologetic without being ostentatious, all while never compromising a mere ounce of luxury. Case in point- Turandot, Moscow's hotspot for contemporary Pan-Asian cuisine. Set amidst Old World Russian decor, the $50 million establishment took six years to build and is modeled after a Baroque palace, though one look at the gilded interior and it could easily pass for the original. Leave the caviar next door at Cafe Pushkin, Moscow's premier place for regal Russian cuisine, and indulge in spreads of sushi, dim sum, and wasabi prawns, all presented by hostesses dressed in 18th century-style silk gowns. A harpist offers melodies to complement the Turandot experience.
