The story of the phenomenon
How we made mussels accessible to everyone
It all started in Sochi.
We took a risk and opened a 16 m² corner where, instead of the usual shish kebabs, we offered guests fresh mussels. We built the concept around affordable seafood cuisine: not an expensive “dinner”, but a set of mussels with crispy baguette, fries, and a glass of wine. That’s how the viral “red pots” serving style was born, and the corner grew into a federal chain.

“Valley of Roses” in a Cup: Kislovodsk Mulled Wine on a Record Scale!
Imagine the essence of the famous “Valley of Roses” park, warmed and transformed into an aromatic elixir! For Kislovodsk City Day, not just mulled wine was born, but a true liquid poem made from 700 local roses gathered in the very heart of the park.
This magical drink with a volume of 100 liters became a warm symbol of the celebration. Its base is healing Narzan mineral water, in which apples, lemons, and a spicy trio of cinnamon, cloves, and star anise are steeped. A fruit drink based on jam from Kislovodsk roses and cranberries adds uniqueness, creating a delightful depth of flavor. Sugar completes the sweet harmony.
“Valley of Roses” is more than just mulled wine. It is a 100‑liter embodiment of summer, bringing warmth, an incredible floral aroma, and the taste of Kislovodsk itself in every cup. The park has blossomed in our glass!

An Edible Key to the Celebration: A Masterpiece Cake Honoring the Narzan Gallery of Kislovodsk
In honor of Kislovodsk City Day, not just a cake was born, but a true architectural masterpiece made of sugar and flour! Under the inspiring guidance of brand chef Roman Tamrazyan, winner of “Battle of the Chefs”, confectioners brought to life an edible version of the famous Narzan Gallery, whose shape resembles a magic key.
This giant, weighing 103 kg and measuring 3 meters 5 cm in length, became the city’s sweet symbol, opening the celebration. Its base consists of exquisite rose flour combined with wheat flour, and at its heart lies a unique rose jam made with healing Narzan mineral water. The cake is dressed in a delicate cheese cream, with a final touch of scattered caramelized rose petals and birch leaves, reminiscent of the picturesque nature of the Caucasian Mineral Waters region.
The order from the City Administration turned into a grand culinary event, proving that confectionery art can work wonders on a citywide scale!

In 2022, it was reported that the chefs of the Tugan Avylym National Complex in Kazan baked the longest apple pie (alma balesh), which was made in the shape of Su Anasy’s braid.
Su Anasy (Tatar: “Mother of Water”, “Water Nymph” or “Mistress of Water”) is one of the key characters in Tatar mythology, the patron spirit of water bodies.
She belongs to the pantheon of traditional Tatar spirits associated with natural elements. She is similar to the Slavic rusalka and the mythological water creatures of other Turkic peoples.
Kazan restaurateurs have gone for another culinary record. The chefs of the Tugan Avylym National Complex baked the longest Alma balesh (national apple pie).
The length of the finished dish was more than 45 meters. To mark the culinary record, the complex organized a folk celebration – performances by the city’s creative groups, a prize draw, and a folk crafts fair.
The entire pie was prepared by 5 pastry chefs. According to them, it took them about 5–6 hours. They used 25 kg of dough and 23 kg of apples, they said.
This apple pie was made in the shape of a braid like Su Anasy’s. The pie was placed by the pond.

Baking the national dessert was not accidental. Every year, for the complex’s birthday, its chefs try to surprise Kazan residents with record‑sized national dishes. For example, last year they prepared a large peremyach.
The event was opened by Sergei Ivanov, Chairman of the State Committee of the Republic of Tatarstan for Tourism. He greeted the guests and thanked the chefs who baked the “Talkysh kaleve”.
“Today, a record will be set in this amazing place — the chefs of ‘Tugan Avylym’ have prepared the largest ‘Talkysh kaleve’. Setting such records has become a tradition. After all, other national dishes have also been prepared in Kazan before,” said Sergei Ivanov.
The “Talkysh kaleve”, baked by the team of chefs at the national complex, was placed in a tent where the festive concert took place. To break the record, several chefs worked on the dessert for two days. It was baked according to an old family recipe by Lilia Baykeeva, the senior pastry chef of the Tugan Avylym restaurant.

The Tugan Avylym National Complex (from Tatar “native village”) opened in honor of the millennium of Kazan in 2005 and is located in the very center of the city. It is a real village, made in a modern style, with log houses and a small pond.
Here everyone can find a place and an activity to their liking, because on the territory of Tugan Avylym there are old carpenter’s workshops, a pancake house with a real wood‑fired stove, a mosque, a guest house with a banya, a charming petting zoo with domestic animals, and the Mishkin Dom Toy Museum, which is especially interesting for young travelers.
The village is made with such attention to detail that it leaves no one indifferent. Like a matryoshka: bright, beautiful, pleasant to hold in your hands, and unusually interesting to see what is inside. That’s how Tugan Avylym is: behind the beautiful gates and high fence, a deliberately bright but incredibly attractive beauty of wooden architecture with elements of national color opens up. This complex leaves behind an amazing aftertaste of a fairy tale: wooden buildings and structures of various sizes, an abundance of greenery and bright flowers, water, a miniature bridge, paths, carved fences – truly a real dollhouse!
Tugan Avylym, by the way, is also known for its culinary records. And this record is one of them.
