About Kachka
Kachka was opened in Portland in 2014 by Bonnie and Israel Morales, and has since become beloved by diners worldwide. James Beard Award nominated Chef/Co-Owner Bonnie Morales and her team cook the food of the former Soviet Republics, including many dishes inspired by her heritage as a first-generation daughter of Jewish immigrants from Belarus. The warm hospitality and lively atmosphere at Kachka turns dinner into an event, fueled by a parade of dishes marked by deep and vibrant flavors such as dumplings, cured fish and pickled vegetables. Kachka serves over 50 different vodka selections, as well a list of house made infusions, craft cocktails, and a curated list of beer and wine with a focus on Eastern European producers. Kachka now bottles its Horseradish Vodka, which is available at retail liquor stores throughout the West Coast. Kachka has been lauded in myriad publications, and was most recently featured in the Netflix series “Somebody Feed Phil,” as well as the Emmy award-winning docuseries “The Migrant Kitchen.”
Kachka Lavka, a deli and grocery upstairs from Kachka, is a showcase for housemade charcuterie, cured fish, and freshly baked Eastern European breads, as well as an outlet for their frozen dumplings and myriad imported grocery items. Kachka and Kachka Lavka are currently open Thursday-Tuesday, and Kachka’s dumplings and merchandise can be ordered online at kachkapdx.com.
