The cafe/shop/yoga studio «Taste and colour» is harmoniously located in the territory of the design-factory «Flacon» and it really has an excellent taste and pleasant colour. They bring the concept of vegan & raw highly testimonial and they manage to impose their beliefs and ideals nobly and unobtrusively.

As if each dish whispers to you about its endless use for the human body humbly. All kinds of fruits and vegetables, greens and sprouts, nuts and seeds, rare cereals and legumes — all of this is gathered together in such an elegant configurations that even the notorious meat-eater / nihilist who has come to «just  sit with the company for the company’s sake» will eventually find himself, as usual, «the drunkest one in the bar», and will even wave off to catch up with his usual «something» called «I can’t live without meat».

The place is epoch-making. I first tried the perfect burger here. Two leaves of lettuce instead of bun, vegetables and kinoa/greens/magic patty inside, some magical raw bacon too and barbecue sauces, and mayonnaise, based on nuts, vegetables and spices. And, well, yes, there must be some warlock final touch by the chef (oh my god, who knows…) because it’s so delicious, when it costs you only 100 kcal for 350 rubles simultaneously. F@cking can’t be true.

I’m not the one who is full just from eating one dish (be it vegan shit or black Angus burger), so a salad of different kinds of greenery was checked too (the sauce is the bomb! kind of Japanese, sesame like and  with it’s own character), an ordinary vegan soup borscht too, yet there is a raw borscht on the menu as well, from a fresh beet-orange broth which is my next victim), vegetable rolls (wrapped in sushi nori, well just the way it should be, vegetables inside and special pasta instead of rice is the only difference), vegan syrniki no flour or sugar (probably tofu and banana from, with vegan coconut sour cream, with berries, oh gods!), vegan berry cheesecake and all sorts of superfood candies. We had some fresh drinks, coconut water, coconut/almond cappuccino. (Well, just in case, I wasn’t there on my own, so you would know)) Liked everything. I will go there again and again. The menu is large (raw pizza, lasagne, zucchini-pastas, salads, soups, dumplings, cakes, etc.). A lot of work to do.

PS: Even after Gargantua and Pantagruel type like party, «Taste and Colour» will evoke a pleasant ease in your stomach, both immediately after the meal and in the morning. Though forcing you to think, not for long, but still think … no, relax, once in a lifetime – won’t turn you to vegan. I know. what I am saying.
