On the first floor, it’s a grandiose affair, boasting a chic and intimate dining setting. Walls are panelled in white and hues of the restaurant’s signature red, luxe crystal chandeliers hang from the ceilings and plush red velvet chairs are grouped around white-tableclothed tables.

The Matroshka name derives from Matroyshka dolls or Russian dolls as they’re more widely known, and subtle nods are made to the dolls in the decor, from them being displayed on shelves in the downstairs bistro, to an ornate wall feature upstairs.
