Your Gateway To Real Ukraine
Seafood lovers have in the past had to suffer in the nation’s capital. Despite the fact that Ukraine borders two seas and can boast hundreds upon hundreds of kilometers of rivers, the people of the Steppe remain true to their traditional fare of meat and potatoes augmented with beets and mayonnaise.

Kyiv is a city that rarely misses an opportunity to remind us just how eclectic it really is. The Pechersk district, whose visual landscape boasts an abundant array of new high-end real estate and also some of the city’s most recognizable Soviet and Orthodox
cultural and historical monuments, Continue reading ‘SSSR eatery welcomes you’
Life is full of improvisation… We take it as a motto off “Swing” restaurant with its enticing live, real music to swing yourself up to the end without any hint of boredom. No “mass” culture, no “phonograph” music is heard here. Only artistic and talented trumpeters, drummers, pianists, and saxophone players.
You have to approach a restaurant named “Exotica†with slightly raised eyebrows. Making my way to Pier 6, off Naberezhno-Khreshchatytska, images flashed through my mind of sushi served on the recumbent bodies of naked women or a smoky Kyiv cabaret. Continue reading ‘Culinary adventures at Exotica’
If you are a sushi-eater, you will look for it everywhere. I’m just making sure you’ll find it in Kyiv.

The Kyiv Post has once again joined with The Ukrainian Connoisseur Club (TUCC) in an attempt to objectively quantify new and existing restaurants according to an established standard for fine dining in Ukraine. Approximately once a month the not-for-profit TUCC selects a Kyiv restaurant, and, on April 6, Continue reading ‘The Ukrainian Connoisseur Club (TUCC) takes a closer look at restaurant Taboo; oysters invade Kyiv’
A former resident of Kyiv, an American named Bruce, once told some Best Of team members that looking for Thai food in this city, though difficult at times, can even be rewarding. He mentioned in particular a certain local restaurant that, he said, served the best Tom Kha soup this side of Bangkok. Heady words, to be sure, but having lived there for some years over a decade ago, he became a discerning culinary expert on all Continue reading ‘No Bangkok, Kyiv still ekes out a worthy Thai restaurant’
All of us on the Post editorial team used to love this place (everyone knew what was meant by “at Chinese.â€) First of all, it was conveniently situated downstairs next to our office; secondly, it served decent ethnic food for very modest prices – a combination rarely found within the Kyiv restaurant scene.
