A classic from luxury hotel in Rome, belonging to the Rocco Forte chain, and from the same group as the Hotel de la Ville, where I stayed. Located in a historic building, the hotel, with architectural Art Nouveau, has one of the most popular terraces in the city, and luckily, Le Jardin de Russie is open to non-guests!

Jantar no The Garden of Russia

The restaurant has an elegant interior, decorated entirely by hand by Italian artist Gio Bressana. But the highlight is certainly the outdoor tables, arranged in a beautiful patio, surrounded by palm trees, plants and flowering stones. It was a pleasant evening, with that welcoming and relaxed atmosphere, at the same time as refined. The low lighting made the environment even more romantic! Furthermore, the service is extremely delicate and discreet.

On the à la carte menu, dishes made with fresh, Mediterranean ingredients. We start with the very light crudo of amberjack (bull’s eye) with lemon, tomato and caper sauce and the meat tartare with mustard sauce. For the main ones, we bet on pastas, After all, we are in Italy! Ravioli Cacio&Pepe and Linguine with clams, for example, are some of the suggestions. But there are also risottos and vegetarian options. To finish, parfait of nougat (nougat) with chocolate sauce.

Furthermore, at lunch the Hotel de Russie restaurant also offers a three-course menu for €70. Meanwhile, on Sundays there is the traditional brunch, with special dishes from chef Fulvio Pierangelini.

The Hotel de Russie

With a great location, between the stairs of the Piazza di Spagna it’s at Piazza del PopoloIt is luxury hotel in Rome it has the perfect contrast of modern with old. In the lobby, for example, there is classic furniture, while the chandeliers are from design. To give you an idea, the Hotel de Russie was nicknamed “paradise on earth” by the French poet Jean Cocteau, in 1917. I had the opportunity to take a look at some of the hotel’s 88 rooms and 34 suites, and was able to see the sophistication of environments. In addition, Hotel de Russie also has the Stravinskij Bar and SPA.
