This is a strange mélange; a restaurant hidden in the back of fur-coat shops serving hearty but mediocre Russian and Chinese dishes followed later in the evening, by a risqué dancing show in a red-walled, smoky room with small tables. The Elephant Russian Restaurant/Nightclub is not everyone’s cup-of-tea but it certainly makes for an interesting evening! Russian pop music and videos are fun. Try the Elephant fish or Ukrainian stew accompanied by Gold Anto Vodka for only 10 Yuan.
