Teremok ( Russian: Теремок) is a Russian fast food chain that primarily specialises in traditional Russian dishes such as blini, pelmeni, kvass and borscht. [2] Founded in 1998 by Mikhail Goncharov, their menu was adapted from the recipes of Goncharov's mother. [3]
Their restaurants operate in Moscow, Saint Petersburg, Ural, Southern Russia and Siberia. [4] As of 2017 it has grown to 300 restaurants, which formerly included two in New York City that closed in 2018. [3] [5]
The first Teremok opened in 1998 in a street kiosk in Moscow. [6] It offered a limited set of blinis, and it was one of the first fast food chains in Russia that were offering Russian food, trying to compete with McDonald's. [3] There are currently three types of Teremok outlets: restaurants, street kiosks, [7] and food court outlets in shopping malls, metro stations or airports. [8]
The chain opened two branches in Union Square and Chelsea in New York City in 2017, their first ventures outside of Russia. [9] In an interview with a Russian magazine, Goncharov said his reason for expanding to America was because "it’s the motherland of fast food." [9] In June 2018, Goncharov announced it was closing his two restaurants in the States, accusing New York City inspectors of "open hostility" towards his restaurants and staff. [5]
The official concept of Teremok is to offer traditional cuisine as fast food but to be at the same time more natural and healthy. [2] Teremok specializes in Russian-style home cooking with recipes developed by the mother of Goncharov. [1] Menu items include blini (thin crepe-like pancakes), borscht (beet soup with cabbage), and kasha (a buckwheat dish served with meat, fish or mushrooms). [1] They also experiment with unusual and outlandish dishes. [2]
