Istorika, gorodskoe kafe

«Istorika» is a city café on Theatre Street in Kazan, right at the edge of the city's historic center. The windows look out onto the old part of Kazan, while inside there's an intimate space where wood and vintage details set the tone throughout. The kitchen here is mixed: Tatar dishes sit alongside European and Asian items on the menu, and the pelmeni deserve special mention—a classic prepared in several variations. This combination of cuisines makes the place suitable both for a familiar homestyle lunch and for something more unusual. The average check at «Istorika» is 1,300 rubles, making the café a good option for a weekday lunch or an unhurried dinner with friends. The address is 1/29 Theatre Street.
