Pivnushka

The classy German restaurant Pivnushka was just the thing for a quiet tête a tête for Prime minister Tony Blair and President Vladimir Putin in mid-November. It's not that surprising Putin chose a German restaurant - after spending so many years spying in East Germany - and the area although it may not look like it, is a prestigious one with a huge road big enough for Putin's convoy and sniper team. The two shared a glass or two of vodka and a plate of goose and if you ask nicely you can sit in the same seat.
