Why they're an Icon

Executive chef: Bonnie Morales

From the OpenTable editors: When it opened in 2014, this trailblazing restaurant launched the country’s Eastern European culinary renaissance, garnering raves from Bon Appétit, Eater, GQ, and more. A decade in, Bonnie and Israel Morales’s ode to their roots is still a hotspot for its famed horseradish-infused vodka, zakuski (snacks) like caviar and roe, and clay pot rabbit. Decked with colorful posters and tablecloths sourced from Belarus, the inviting, bi-level space is one you’ll want to return to again and again.

    We had such a fun dining experience at Kachka! We had a big group and everything is served family style, so we got to try a lot of dishes. You can really feel how much love goes into everything. The food was all so delicious and unique. I bought the cookbook (which is amazing, btw) and Chef Bonnie was nice enough to take time from her busy night to come chat with us and sign it. I will definitely come back to this restaurant next time I’m in Portland!

    Do not be afraid of the horseradish vodka. It is delicious. Our server was great. She explained everything on the menu and was helpful in suggesting how much food to order. Especially enjoyed the smoked beet salad, bread board, dumplings and stuffed cabbage, and sampling vodka. Recommend the horseradish and strawberry. Prices reasonable for the amount of food we got. Highly recommend having reservations and the restaurant was packed

    We had an amazing time here. We did the zakuski experience and were able to try so much of the menu this way. We got some hot dumplings as well and, of course, a generous amount of the horseradish vodka! Can’t wait to come back next time we are in Portland.

    We took a recommendation from a good friend to visit this restaurant. We ordered a menu meal where the staff brings you appetizer sized small plates of their best choices. The server also recommended the dumplings, which we added. To say we were not disappointed would be understatement. All the food was phenomenal; even some dishes that had ingredients that i usually don't enjoy. Everything was amazingly tasty. Do yourself a favor...eat here! 12/0 would recommend!
