Dining in Baltic is a refreshing change from the typical cuisine you come across; on a freezing February evening, warm and hearty Eastern European dishes really hit the spot. We were brought fresh bread and beetroot dip before deciding on the reasonably priced pre-theatre menu. A traditional soup with sauerkraut and bokzec (ham) to start followed by a warming beef and dumpling stew were delicious choices.
Great service and food aside, the design of Baltic is a massive selling point. The vast restaurant room (formally an 18th century coach builder's works) is painted completely white with large wooden beams spanning the length of the ceiling. Numerous exposed brick and grey concrete walls add further roughness to this clean interior. Each table is clothed in white and dotted with candles. One side hosting a large intricate wall sculpture and the other a hanging formation of gold beads, both ends of the room have beautiful focal points. With jazz nights on every Sunday and a bar Boasting 60 types of Vodka, Baltic is worth a visit even if you're not eating.
