Russian Castle Restaurant
Russian Castle Restaurant is a small restaurant in Daxue Village, Taipei, that serves Russian cuisine. The space is tightly arranged with closely positioned tables and offers dishes such as borscht with beef, beetroot salad, and various pancakes and main courses like Georgian-style grilled beef.
The restaurant first opened in the summer of 2009 near Shilin Night Market, bringing authentic Russian cuisine to the city. It has grown into a known spot for those seeking traditional Russian dishes.
The restaurant draws its name from a traditional Russian beverage and reflects this heritage in its menu and setting. The close arrangement of tables creates an intimate space that feels like stepping into a small Russian home.
The place is compact with a small kitchen and minimal staff, so food may take longer during busy times. Bring cash since credit cards are not accepted, and note that the restaurant is closed on Mondays.
Kvass is a light, malted beverage with a taste similar to beer but without the strength, featuring a slightly sweet and sharp flavor. This traditional Russian drink is an affordable choice here and stands apart from typical Asian beverages.
