What people say

Russian Tea Time restaurant on E Adams Street in Chicago is a must-visit for anyone looking to experience authentic Eastern European cuisine. Founded in 1993 by a family of immigrants from Uzbekistan, this restaurant has become a hotspot for locals and international tourists alike. The newly renovated interior and laidback atmosphere make it the perfect destination for Sunday brunch or a casual luncheon.

One of the best things about European restaurants is their ability to perfectly accentuate a night at the theater, and Russian Tea Time is no exception. Warm up with a spot of tea or shot of vodka on the house before heading to the theater, then return after to enjoy the familial feeling of this friendly Russian eatery.

The extensive menu features traditional dishes straight from the motherland, including excellent vegetarian fare, wild game, poultry, and specialty meat dishes. A mix of “hearty” and “comfort” Russian, Slavic, and Jewish classics are well-complemented by upscale dishes of Imperial Russian Courts. It's no wonder that Russian Tea Time has been wowing customers for more than 25 years.

Located in the heart of Chicago’s artistic district, this landmark restaurant offers an unforgettable dining experience that will leave you wanting more. So if you're looking for an authentic taste of Eastern Europe in Chicago, look no further than Russian Tea Time restaurant on E Adams Street.
