My Dearest,
June is here, and the season calls for something light, something refreshing, something that tastes like warm days and open windows.
Try our Cranberry Mors, chilled and sweet. Our Tart Seaberry Tea, bright and awakening. Or our Slastena cocktail with fig vodka, cream, and condensed milk for those who want summer with a little indulgence. 🍹
Come taste the season with us.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

You are the reason these rooms feel alive. 🤍
Every evening, you bring the laughter, the stories, the warmth that no kitchen can cook and no decorator can arrange. You have celebrated with us, cried with us, danced with us, and come back again and again.
Over 20 years. Across cities and countries. Through every trial and every season.
You are not just our guests. You are our family.
And there is no Mari Vanna without you.
Thank you. From the bottom of our hearts.

My Dearest,
What smell means spring to you?
Spring has its own smell and everyone remembers it differently.For some, it's fresh rain on warm pavement. For others, the first flowers breaking through the ground. For me, it's open windows in the kitchen and something baking in the oven.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
I just finished fermenting a new batch of sauerkraut.
The old way. Just cabbage, salt, and patience.
Did you know fermented cabbage is full of probiotics? Good for digestion. Boosts immunity. Packed with Vitamin C.
This is how we stayed healthy through long winters.
No pills. No shortcuts. Just what the earth gave us.
Try it with our Soleniya plate.
Your gut will thank you. 🥬
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
In Soviet countries, winter fishing is a tradition. Men sit on frozen lakes for hours. Watching the hole in the ice.
They come home with fresh catch. Proud. Cold. Hungry.
In honor of this, we made a selection of fish dishes for you. The ones you love.
Do you love fishing?
With love, Maria Ivanovna

"The place that was so dull, all at once is bright and lively,
And suddenly, good heavens, life grows rich and full.
There's talk, then friendly laughter, and songs when lamps are lit,
There's whispering at table, gay and ready wit."
«Как оживляется глухая сторона!
Как жизнь, о боже мой, становится полна!..А там и дружный смех, и песни вечерком,
И вальсы резвые, и шепот за столом...»

My Dearest,
In the old days, I would greet important guests with bread and salt at the door.
Bread meant hospitality.
"I will feed you."
Salt meant respect.
"You are worth something precious."
Salt was expensive then.
This ritual still lives at weddings and celebrations. A way of saying, you matter enough for our best.
You can find Khleb da Sol' on our menu.
Keep the tradition alive with us.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
I remember my grandmother in her chair, evenings like this one. The quiet click of needles. The lamp casting its soft light. Her hands never still, never hurried.
She knitted lace doilies. Each one made with patience, with love, with no thought of rushing.
When I opened my little restaurant, I knew those doilies belonged on every table. Not as decoration. As memory. As a way of saying, you are home now.
If you have sat at our tables, you have felt her hands too. You just did not know it.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

Who says "you have to try this place." Who trusts us with anniversaries and quiet Tuesday evenings after long days.
We see you walk in. We remember what you order. We keep your favorite corner ready.
Thank you 🤍

My Dearest,
In this weather, all you want is something hot and filling.
I just made soup for you.
It's still steaming.
Come quickly, before it cools.
I'll serve it with fresh bread.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

Maria Ivanovna never needed a reason to pour. But she understood why her people did. 🥃
Siberian winters. Breath freezing in the air. Months of darkness and ice. A shot before stepping outside was not indulgence. It was ritual. It was warmth when warmth was hard to find.
And so vodka became more than a drink. It became a story of resilience, of long tables and longer winters, of survival dressed up as celebration.
At Mari Vanna, we honor that story. Each of our House Infused Flavored Vodkas is made with care, with memory, and with love. Just as it always has been. 🌿❄️

My Dearest,
Do you remember that little bowl of sweets at your grandmother's? Always resting on the table, always full. You would reach inside hoping to find something especially delicious waiting just for you.
At my table, something sweet is always waiting.

My Dearest,
March 8th is a day to honor the women who fill our lives with warmth, strength, and grace. The ones who hold everything together, who nurture with their hands and their hearts.
Come, take a seat at my table. Let me spoil you the way you deserve, with dishes made from the soul and tea poured with love.
Today, you rest. Today, you are celebrated.
With love, Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
In Mari Vanna, drinks are served in faceted glasses.
Do you remember how your grandmother poured cold milk into a faceted glass? Or how, on a long train ride, you sat by the window slowly sipping hot tea from that same kind of glass?
Sometimes, holding something so simple is enough to take you back into a sea of childhood memories.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
Leave a like if a bowl of hot Borscht with sour cream, a little Salo, and a slice of Rye Bread makes your heart happy.
Let us see how many true Borscht lovers we have here.

My Dearest,
All summer long, I was gathering berries with my own hands. And now, finally, it is time to share.
Come try my homemade infused vodka. Top-quality vodka, rested in steel and glass with natural ingredients, made just as my grandmother taught me.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
Do you remember that cabinet? The one no one was allowed to touch. Where the good dishes waited patiently for special days, and little treasures collected quietly on every shelf.
Ours still stands just as it always did.
Come visit, and perhaps today will be special enough.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

My Dearest,
Have you already begun to miss Spring? Those first shy flowers, that gentle warmth that makes you want to throw open every window? Or are you still holding on, just a little longer, to the quiet comfort of winter at home?
I confess, I feel both. Come in, let me make it cozy for you while we wait together.
With love,
Maria Ivanovna

Morning. The first rays of sunlight. Roosters calling somewhere in the yard. And from the kitchen, the smell of fresh, hot pies my grandmother is baking.
There is no rush. I stretch in bed and let myself enjoy this morning just a little longer.
