Hidden apartment-restaurant filled with period furniture and antiques

Word to the wise: The entrance is not easy to spot. Turn down the alley at the sign for the jazz club and after about 10 metres look out for the blue K44 sign on your right.

Noteworthy for: Kvartira 44 is particularly popular with local Jewish Klezmer musicians who often jam here on weekends.

This former apartment-turned-restaurant is a warm and inviting warren of little dining rooms filled with books, old rugs, frilly lampshades, antique records and rickety old furniture.

Many people come here to drink wine and chat all evening, while others are drawn by the decent French influenced menu and the chance to catch some live piano music.

Filled with old world charm and incubated from the busy city outside, it’s easy to lose track of time – making it the perfect place to settle in when the weather turns cold.
