About today's deal

Attempts to immerse yourself in Russian tradition by mimicking a stacking doll can lead to people thinking you’re full of yourself, and ultimately leave you with a hollow feeling inside.

Café Cossachok opened its doors in 1998 and is Glasgow’s first and only authentic Russian restaurant. Situated on King Street, it’s a little slice of the USSR right in the heart of Glasgow, representing its people in cooking, culture and hospitality.

Decorated with red walls and original colourful paintings, handmade wooden furniture and Russian shawls across the ceiling, this totally unique venue is the ideal place to get a little taste of eatern-Europe without putting in the air miles.

With today’s deal you and a companion can tuck into two courses of authentic Russian cuisine each, choosing from starters such as Blini with smoked salmon and ratatouille toppings, assorted pickles, a Salyodochka platter with herring and potatoes, or Salo (a traditional Ukranian pork dish served with rye bread) to kick off your meal.

For mains, you can choose from Siberian Pelmeni (Russian beef and pork mince ravioli), Russian dumplings with potatoes and mushroom and feta sauce or potted fish (salmon, haddock, potatoes and onion with garlic and cream sauce, baked with cheese).

Or if it’s all about the stroganoff, you have a choice of mushroom, beef or chicken accompanied by rice, roast potatoes or buckwheat.

Café Cossachok aims to envelope all your senses, and alongside the quirky folk interiors and heart-warming Russian cooking, you’ll find the Malenky Gallery showcasing exhibitions by local and international artists.
