Kolobok Cafe on Patong is one of the most budget-friendly cafes in Phuket where you can try traditional homemade dishes.
For those unfamiliar with Russian folk tales: Kolobok is the main character of a popular children’s story – essentially a round bread roll brought to life by an elderly couple eager to express their parental instincts. Admittedly, that sounds a bit odd out of context, but every Russian kid grows up with this tale.
The word Kolobok is often used as the name for Russian cafes, and Phuket is no exception. Here, you can try traditional dishes like dumplings, okroshka (a cold soup), meat patties, solyanka, borsch, pancakes, vareniki, chicken broth, and much more. Hearty, tasty, and made with love! For dessert, don’t miss the classic walnut-shaped cookies filled with condensed milk – pure childhood nostalgia. And to wash it all down? A glass of kvass. Average cost per person: 200–300฿.
