Vilka-Lozhka

«Vilka-Lozhka» at 13 Karl Liebknecht Street in Yekaterinburg is a farm-to-table café serving home-style food without excessive markups. The format is self-service: guests choose their own dishes, see the portions before ordering, and pay for their meal within minutes, without waiting around for an order to arrive. The menu is based on traditional Russian recipes — simple, filling, straightforward dishes for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Everything is cooked on-site, so food reaches guests fresh, straight from the kitchen. The dining hall has a modern design suited to different situations — it works for a large group or for someone dining alone, without anyone getting in each other's way. The chain's history began in 2002 with its first café in Novosibirsk on Lenin Street, where food was cooked directly in the dining area for the first time, rather than brought in from elsewhere, as was standard practice in canteens at the time.
