U Vakano

«U Vakano» operates at a Samara brewery and first opened back in the 90s. Over the years, the restaurant has preserved both the atmosphere and the style of serving dishes typical of that era: olives, lettuce leaves, shrimp arranged in a fan, sujuk and basturma as appetizers. The interior features stuffed animals and birds, giving the place a distinctive character. The menu includes grilled dishes, European cuisine, pasta, pelmeni, and crayfish. The hot dishes pair well with the beer brewed on-site at the brewery — which is the main reason most people come here. The average check is 1000–3000 rubles, making the place affordable for a lunch or dinner with a group. The restaurant is located at Volzhsky Prospekt, 4, building 2. Guests include business travelers and locals from Samara who appreciate time-tested places serving Russian cuisine and crayfish with beer.
