Cafe "Yurta"

Chronicle of the resort

"Yurta" appeared in Sheregesh 12 years ago. At that time, there was not even Grelka Bar, can you imagine? And many years later, it remains an old-school establishment - the only one of its kind, since most of them were either closed, or demolished, or rebranded. The "Yurta" team rightfully deserves the title of the founders of the resort movement.

The entire history of Sheregesh and the personal chronicle of the founder of "Yurta" - Nikolai Karyshev are kept here. He and his team did everything themselves: they brought the structure, erected it, equipped everything inside - from the bar counter to each chair. On the walls, you can see photographs from trips to Mongolia, the USA, Russia, Iraq and more. Everything is imbued with the spirit of adventure to the soundtrack of Nikolai's favorite tracks. As he said, his flash drive from the car still plays here. But he often updates it.

Through difficulties to originality

Times were different. The "yurt" faced a fire, after which it underwent minor updates. The number increased: there was one, and now there are two. Bear and sarlychya. This can be understood from the interior details in the form of skins and skulls.

The design tracks the general vibe of this place - non-standard, intuitive. Bamboo lamps stick out from the wall in an original way, powerful tables are arranged in a circle and a large stove that goes under the very roof. The space, unusual for the human eye, is able to surprise you, and then make you fall in love with it.

By the way, there is no booking system here, which adds points to the atmosphere.

Menu from different countries of the world

As the owner of the establishment describes it:

• What we ate ourselves, that's what we took.

Nikolay is an athlete and an experienced traveler (remember the photo?), you can imagine the whole variety of dishes.

"Yurta" began with oriental cuisine: lagmans, pilaf, manti have firmly established themselves on the menu. Lagman remains the most popular to this day. We recommend trying it - satisfying and tasty, just what you need after a whole day of skiing.

Authenticity and naturalness

There are also a couple of dishes that will immerse you in authentic Shoria. Here we will highlight pelbeni - Shor dumplings with pine nuts. Well, where would we be without a fern with a flask - there are dishes with this ingredient, too. And the flask can be ordered separately.

The strong part of the menu is the grill. The grillman has been preparing meat for 12 years since the establishment opened. It is important to note that the cooks of "Yurta" themselves prepare the ingredients: fern, mushrooms, rabbits. Even the meat is their own, because all the lamb on the menu is local.

And the last recommendation from the owner is shawarma with torn maral meat, Altai feta cheese and vegetables. Hearty and unique!

Bar menu

The emphasis is on tinctures, because they are non-standard. We spent a whole year developing them, at first we made six types, and in the end we left four. But what kind! They are complex - there are about 20 ingredients with varying degrees of filtration inside. You should definitely try it, and you can also take it with you as a souvenir.

Tea infusions are created specifically for this place. There is a whole collection of Shor authenticity. We recommend trying it with local honey.

Delicious souvenirs

In addition to tinctures, you can buy chocolates in the form of masks for skating. This is a top-seller in terms of level, not inferior to lagman.

"Yurt" is a place that you can only visit in Sheregesh. There is a unique vibe here. Come and catch it.
