Steklyashka

«Steklyashka» is a café on Alexey Kozin Street in Kazan, where Soviet comfort food is served in a new interpretation. The place was opened by the founders of the bar «Na Bokalchik» and the bistro «Artel», who took as their basis the image of the glass-walled cafés («steklyashkas») of the 1970s–80s — those legendary spots with panoramic glazing where people used to stop by for a quick bite between errands. The café itself is located on the ground floor of a triangular residential complex, and the large windows here are not just a stylistic nod but a functional detail — the hall is filled with natural light, and through the glass you can see the street and everything happening around it. The kitchen's cuisine is mixed and author's, but with a clear emphasis on Soviet motifs: dishes familiar since childhood are reimagined and served in a new way, without pretension or unnecessary complications. The comfort-food format implies simple, understandable food that you want to order again. «Steklyashka» will suit those who are looking for nostalgia for Soviet cafés served through a modern gastronomic lens, and who appreciate the atmosphere of a place with history.
