That is a 3 star Michelin - having lunch there justifies a trip to Knoxville. Borsch and potato blinz was my meal - excellent!

I was met coming in and offered a menu. Ordered the Farmer Frittata. The basil aioli was refreshing and the sweet pepper relish was just right! Not overpowering the eggs packed with spinach on a garlic bialy! All together perfect!! Light but filling. Great first experience!

What a cozy place! Potchkes reminds me of some of the little restaurants in downtown Asheville or Waynesville. I loved the potato blintzes. They tasted so good on the bed of sour cream with avocado and chili oil. Delicious! I will definitely go back to try some of the other items on the menu.

This is probably my favorite place to eat in Knoxville. Vegan options are creative and delicious.

Visiting from Minneapolis, MN. The whitefish bialy does you proud! I was a tad surprised to see smoked whitefish on the menu, and delighted to have it in my belly. I so associate it with the North Shore of Lake Superior. It’s a delicacy in my book.

Everyone here is so gracious in service. Lovely experience.

Note: It’s in the building of with the scrolly, red neon“Regas” on the top, facing the “back in only” parking on the bridge.

Owners: My only recommendation is to have a cafe sign to direct people into your restaurant. The entrance is far from intuitive if you’re coming from behind the building, where I parked.

Vegetarian options: Lots for the pescatarians! Borcht is vegetarian-based, which is non-standard and welcome!

Located in the historic Regus office building, this quaint and Cozy Café offers Jewish-style comfort food! Everything from the plates to the silverware to the staff are colorful, quirky, and fun! The menu has a great selection of modern takes on classic Eastern European dishes! If you get a chance, please go and visit this wonderful hidden gem of the downtown Knoxville food scene! You’ll be glad you did!

We ate at the restaurant. People were helpful and kind. The food was delicious.
It was a little noisy but for me everywhere is noisy.

Vegetarian options: Fish, breads, sweets

Dietary restrictions: I’m dairy free and that was no problem

Kid-friendliness: We didn’t have kids with us but it was obvious there were kids there and they seemed happy.
