We visited this delightful restaurant with a friend who had recently come back from a trip to Russia and said that the food served at Rasputine's was as genuine as any he had experienced outside Russia. The chef, who visited our table to make sure we were enjoying ourselves, was an absolute delight to talk to. The food is reasonably... More

We went to this restaurant with friends last Saturday evening and I must say I was pleased we did, I had checked out the reviews on this site so it was not an off the cuff booking. The meal was very well presented the only couple of slight gripes I have are they ran out of larger and bitter by... More

We had eaten in Russian restaurants in Knightsbridge in London, Exeter, Liverpool and Manchester and had enjoyed the experience. Do not be put off by the entrance as once inside you are in for a treat. The food was first class and the staff most helpful and friendly. The wines were 'spot on' Swaffham has changed for the better since... More

Try not to be put off by the entrance and decor of this restaurant as the food is clearly cooked to order and very fresh and value for money. I would also reccommend the wines, aithough the russian brandy in our liquor coffee did taste abit like it may have propelled Soyuz into orbit!. Its just a shame the venue... More

Booked on a whim! I was a bit reluctant (stories about Russian food etc.) and nearly bottled out but decided "in for a penny in for a pound". Really glad I went! I expected to be served heavy stodgy food in a clumsy offhand manner. The reality couldn't be further from the truth - a very pleasant Estonian owner/chef explained... More

I would really recommend this restaurant- we were a bit apprehensive as we haven't had Russian food before and there weren't many guests in, but the staff were extremely nice, helping us and explaining the dishes, and the menu offer was very good value. My daughter was voting for going every day of our stay... and we are hoping very... More

The decor is a little bizarre and the layout is very different to a lot of other restaurants but as soon as you sit down you realise... More

We were there during a Saturday lunchtime and were the only diners apart from a group of 3 middle-aged ladies accompanied by the son of one of them. However, they were all of east European origin, which added to the atmosphere. The decor appeared old fashioned but interesting. The food was tasty. The mixed starter was the best bit. The... More

We went to this restaurant on recommendation from Trip Advisor. It was easy to find & had prime position looking over Swaffham market. The decor looks quite foreboding, but the welcome and food more than made up for this. We all chose different starters and mains from the set lunch menu & sampled each others. The food tasted fresh and... More
