A beautiful, spacious, traditional restaurant serving a big variety of regional and Russian dishes. A perfect place to start off your stay in the Republic of Mordovia and feel the national spirit.

A nice place with an unusual, eclectic interior and delicious menu options. Choose between pasta, soups, pizza, burgers hot and cold snacks, seafood, meats and sushi.
