Fodor's Expert Review Stratilat

At one end of shopping street Samovodska Charshia is this multi-level café inside a lovingly-restored old house. The tables on the large covered terrace look out over Samovodska Charshiya's narrow streets and the Yantra River while interior seats face the atrium. On the menu is simple fare done well—pizza, toasted sandwiches, and soup. Desserts are where Stratilat really shines, with thick slices of cake like banana, walnut, and the eponymous Stratilat, a tower of chocolate on chocolate.
