Last weekend, February 4, a new vegetarian cafe “Ugol” opened in the very center of Moscow. The establishment is located near the Biblioteka metro station. Lenin", at the address: .

This is a place that offers a type of food that is not quite traditional for vegetarian and vegan cuisine - fast food. The menu includes burgers, rolls, pizza, fries and much more.

The creators of this establishment are a team of guys who wanted to open a place “as if for themselves,” where they can eat tasty, satisfying, varied and inexpensive food. They don’t have an investor or sponsor, they just got together, invested their money and opened a cafe.

“We have focused on fast food in our menu. Moreover, it is more European than Asian or Israeli. This is not ethnic fast food, let's put it that way. We want to bring diversity to the Moscow vegetarian market. We ourselves have been vegetarians for quite a long time, and there are also vegans among us. We're already bored of eating falafel because it's everywhere. I want something new. I would also like to move away from curry and Indian spices, because there is a lot of this in other vegetarian cafes,” say the guys from the Ugol cafe team.

On the opening day, guests were presented with a rather modest menu, according to the creators. Three burgers with tofu, seitan and falafel, rolls with the same fillings, soups, hot dishes and desserts. The cafe also offers hot dogs and pizza. In the future, the guys plan to significantly expand the list of dishes. Those who carefully monitor their diet and do not accept French fries or burgers on their menu will also be able to eat here.

“We will develop a menu over time, in the future we will have about 7-10 types of rolls, hot dogs, pizza, and also several dozen bourgeois. For example, there will be an interesting “Green” burger, but we won’t reveal the recipe yet. Now you can try the “Hungry Lekha” roll. This is a mix of two other burgers to choose from - falafel-tofu, tofu-seitan. And of course, we will introduce homemade food. This is the first, second, salad, dessert. We will prescribe dietary supplements and want people who watch their diet to be able to eat quickly and inexpensively in the center of Moscow.”

When visiting the cafe, we decided to leave the principles of healthy eating somewhere outside its walls (readers will forgive us!) and hit the fast food. Hot dogs, pizza and homemade lemonade.

Pizza 32 centimeters served on thin dough. The filling is wheat sausage, tomato sauce, vegan cheese and pineapples. Personally, we were delighted, because it is quite difficult to find this dish in a vegan version. Maybe cook it at home, but it takes a lot of time.

The hot dog includes a wheat sausage, fresh vegetables, mustard, pickles and lettuce. It turns out very juicy, tasty, hot! True, the guys still buy buns for hot dogs and burgers, and do not make them themselves. However, in the future, “Ugol” promises to improve.

“For now we are forced to buy buns, since our equipment is used for baking desserts. We make them ourselves. And buns are a product that needs to be baked without stopping. In the future, we will, of course, produce them ourselves.”



Guests rated the menu differently. Some were very pleased that they were able to try it already on opening day:

“Very cozy place, right in the very center. I liked the burger with falafel patty, and my friends and I also got pizza and strawberry-orange lemonade. Everything is very delicious. I haven't eaten pizza for a long time and was very glad that it was here. I think I’ll come here again in the near future,” said Maria.

Other guests, regulars at vegetarian establishments, would like to see something new on the menu.

“In general, it’s cozy here,I liked everything. It’s cool that such a place is opening, especially in the center. But I would like something new, not standard. Although I don’t know how you can surprise me. I think I'll come here. I can't say that it's constant. Although, who knows..."- Anton.



As we have already said, the establishment offers not only fast food. Desserts on the menu include several cupcakes and cakes. Hot dishes include soups like borscht or mushroom, rice with vegetables, couscous, potatoes. Drinks include tea, coffee, homemade lemonades (very tasty, by the way. Moderately sweet and refreshing). In general, the menu will be vegan, but vegetarian items will still remain.

“For the non-vegan, there will be, off the top of my head, three items - coffee with regular milk (you can also have soy milk), maybe there will be pizza with regular cheese and a topping for waffles - Nutella. The waffles themselves are vegan, the toppings will also be vegan, but at the request of our visitors, we decided to introduce Nutella. Anything that is not vegan will be marked with a special sign. But there are no eggs or milk in our desserts, buns and pizza.”

The cafe's creators are just beginning their journey, and they themselves admit that there are still many shortcomings. The Ugol cafe team responds well to criticism and is ready to listen to wishes and suggestions from visitors in order to improve.

“We all have experience working in catering establishments, but in terms of opening an establishment, this is our debut. And we hope that the first pancake will not be lumpy.”

The hot dog is one of the most striking symbols of America. There, this type of fast food is so popular that there is even an unofficial holiday dedicated to the hot dog, which is celebrated on July 23.

Needless to say, this dish is also popular here, especially among young people. A quick and satisfying snack is what we need in our hectic pace of life.

Its fillings can be very different, but what remains unchanged is the bun and sausage. Even if it’s soy. By the way, soy sausages can hardly be found in regular stores; they are sold in specialized stores for vegans and vegetarians. There you can also find not only soy, but also raw food sausages and frankfurters, but that’s a slightly different story.

Well, enough talk, it's time to get down to business.
