Kachka (restaurant)

Kachka is a restaurant serving Russian cuisine in Portland, Oregon's Buckman neighborhood, in the United States.

History
Kachka was founded in 2014 and is owned by Israel and Bonnie Morales ( Frumkin). Bonnie, who serves as the head chef, was born in Chicago where her Belarusian parents ran a restaurant near Wrigley Field in the 1990s.

In late 2019, they opened Kachka Lavka, a grocery and deli, in the mezzanine of the restaurant.

In 2020, Kachka opened a summer pop-up, Kachka Alfresca, which served 1990s-inspired comfort food. Kachka Alfresca closed in October 2020.

The restaurant implemented service fees, replacing optional tipping.

Bobby Flay visited the restaurant for a 2023 episode of The Whole Story With Anderson Cooper, called "Restaurant Nation: What's Changed?"
