Russian service originated from the era of Tsara of Russia who believed in ceremony and ritual. Though this type of service is gradually reducing its popularity but still people prefer Russian service in case of great functions and state banquets. Russian service is also referred as a platter service since foods are positioned in well-decorated silver platters.

Since Russian service originally came from the French service so this service is quite similar to French service in many respects including the table setting such as: This service is formal and stylish and guests receive great attention and personalized service. However, Russian service was greatly modified that is became a distinct service style.
