Elvira came to East Tennessee from Russia in 2001 and quickly fell in love with the Smoky Mountains, its people, and traditions. After working in local tourism, her passion for food led her to create Elvira’s Cafe in 2012—a women-owned restaurant blending Southern comfort with a hint of Russian flavor. Built on a culture of teamwork and warm hospitality, the cafe has become a local favorite. From savory buckwheat crepes and classic biscuits and gravy to hand-cut steaks and juicy burgers, every dish is made with fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Step inside and you’ll feel right at home—leaving full, happy, and ready to return.
Brunch is served on Sundays from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM. The cafe is closed for brunch Monday through Saturday.
