Tri Olenya (Three Deer)

Samara is famous for its fishing grounds, which is hardly a surprise as the city is located at the confluence of two great rivers, the Samara and the Volga. Today, it is a major fishing center. No wonder fish dishes are so widely popular here. But not by fish alone… The local cuisine is diverse and will suit all palates.

The restaurant began as a craft brewery, where beer was brewed according to home recipes. Gradually, the brewery expanded into a chain outlet. The popular beer brand is available in retail shops, plus there are several Three Deer restaurants in the city, two of them at Samara International Airport.   

Three Deer recommends all football fans to try its beer menu: crisp croutons, deep-fried calamari rings, spicy chicken wings and French fries.  

The main course is the Three Deer signature burger. The Samara chefs have invented their own burger recipe matching the restaurant's name: a patty of chopped reindeer meat is sandwiched between two buns (white or brown as you like). The top bun is decorated with two pods of hot red pepper to symbolize deer antlers.

Fish lovers will doubtless appreciate crispy fried Faroe codfish in spicy a sweet and sour sauce. The dish comes with a big portion of French fries and a cucumber salad.
