Fodor's Expert Review Terassa Lounge

In the darkest periods of Murmansk's long Arctic winter, few places offer a more refreshing contrast than this exceptionally playful, Provençal-style oasis. Bushy trees, flowers, and vines are draped across the restaurant and complemented by hewn wood-block tables and grass-green armchairs. Baskets of fruit and sunshine- colored glass vases and bowls add yet another layor of cheer that easily turns romantic with the right dinner date. The international menu blends everything from pork chops and salsa to cod in coconut milk to spicy baked crab. The space also occasionally hosts fashion shows, contests, kids activities, and other events.
