Restaurant Cheerem

«Chirem» (which translates from Tatar as «young green grass») is located in the Kazan Kremlin, and it’s hard to imagine a more fitting address for a restaurant dedicated to updated Tatar cuisine. The interior was designed by Alexander Volkov from the Moscow-based Volkov Architects bureau. Thanks to him, the whitewashed vaulted walls now feature bas-reliefs of plants from Tatarstan’s meadows, folding shutters that protect from the bright sun, and wooden shelves storing a collection of herbs and teas from around the world.

The cuisine is under the responsibility of Chef Mansur Khalilov, who oversees the menu featuring traditional yet refined dishes that equally captivate both tourists and residents of Kazan. The baked goods are prepared in a wood-fired oven.
