Vegetarianism in Russia has become popular since the end of the 19th century. For some people, giving up meat and fish is a temporary abstinence, but for some it’s a way of life. It is necessary to respect and consider the choice of each person.
For a long time, vegetarians could not fully exist in society. In cafes and restaurants had to look for dishes that you can eat, some agreed with the cooks and waiters to cook without animal protein.
Cafe "Jagannath" ("Kuznetsk bridge") - an institution that serves only vegetarian dishes: a lot of soups, side dishes and salads without a single hint of meat or fish. The restaurant has sandwiches, burgers, and even pastries made only from plant ingredients.

“Nem”, “Chapati”, “Papati”, bread or a wheat bun - all this can be found in the institution, although for many people these names are very extravagant and mysterious. A cake with greens or a rice bowl with cherries, which you can try for only 80 rubles, is more attractive.

Reviews
The chain of shops and cafes has been operating since 2000 and has already acquired regular customers. There are negative reviews of customers who are not used to such a diet, so they do not like it.
But true vegetarians love to visit the Jagannath cafe on the Kuznetsk bridge and in other parts of the capital. In their reviews, they talk about excellent food and service. All dishes, or rather, their composition, are specifically and clearly painted in the menu, so everyone can see what he is buying.
In the store you can buy food and drinks, and in the cafeteria you can take delicious desserts with you. But some reviews from visitors to this place are not entirely good. Poor service offends customers. Often there are shortcomings in the work of waiters and cashiers (they make two dishes in a check instead of one ordered). Guests would like the service to be of a higher standard.
Cafe "Jagannath" on the Kuznetsk bridge, the address of which was indicated above, has opened a long time ago. This is often visited by couples and mothers with children in the hope of finding healthy food. However, some customer reviews leave much to be desired. Many say that desserts are all for one taste and it is simply impossible to eat them - this is an oily mass with sugar. At first glance it seems that the cost of dishes is low, but when you see small portions, it becomes clear that their cost is overpriced. Many dishes simply float in oil, sauce and spices - this is not pleasant to customers.
Cafe "Jagannath" (Kuznetsky Most) is a cafe for vegetarians, so for ordinary guests who are used to meat, fish and seafood, the menu will seem very peculiar. The taste is also special - for an amateur. Many dishes are national in the countries of the east, and accordingly for a Russian person they may seem too spicy or too fragrant. However, everyone claims that there is an atmosphere of respect and love for their guests.
