18 Reviews It is a steep, cobble stoned, curving, crooked street. AT the top there is St. Andrew's church and all the way down there are stall selling everything from Russian and Nazi memorabilia to tourist t.shirts, arts, crafts and general tat! At the time of my visit (October 2011, there was a LOT of work...

McDonald's (Various Locations)
12 Reviews I visited this Mc. Donald's first floor restaurant around 10PM on 16 Nov. 2011 and was appalled by 2 separate drink spillages on the floor being left unattended while I was there for over an hour, and litter/trays, over 10, were left on tables awaiting clearing away. I already wrote to Mc. Donald's...
13 Reviews Now me finally got to this famous pub. Indeed, its popular among foreigners coz it is mainly visited by foreigners and expats. If you are one, you will for sure enjoy it and find a company that match you. Not bad interior, big screen where football on all the time, nice irish beer, nice irish music....

January ....... same colourful place, food was good however THE SERVICE WAS TRULY APALLING. It wasnt only us, people were met at the door, shown to...
7 Reviews We've been in Kiev twice since May, both times we've eaten at least twice here. Never ever had a complaint. Service extremely courteous & accomodating and food of a consistently high standard. Summer allows outdoor dining either at their terrace OR they also run a smaller operation at the local...
4 Reviews As you walk down St.Andrew's Descent, you will see this beautiful ethnic restaurant at 34 St.Andrew's Descent. You will recognize it by a nice little bronze statue of Eros at the entrance. The restaurant is called Za Dvoma Zaytsyamy in Ukrainian. The menu includes Ukrainian, Russian and European...
5 Reviews To add few good words to earler postings about this nice place, there tables with some paint that can be easyly be scraped. So, as I notices, there lots of tables with scraped names, symbols, messeges... and stuff nevermind if you also have a hand in making tables more cute. Use your forks, keys,...
4 Reviews I have to say that I had read the reviews from VT and other guides, praising this traditional restaurant which enjoys a "loyal following of businessmen, diplomats and models"... I have to say I expected much more. The fisherman house/davinci basement deco is interesting but a bit over the top... The...
3 Reviews One day I missed having some coffee and decided to go to this cafe downtown of which I had heard long before. I enjoyed the coffee there and the atmosphere itself. The design is of African style and the cafe is always full of people. It's a small two-storey bulding decorated in the African style....
3 Reviews My favorite mexican restaurants are Tequila House and Arizona BBQ. Both are situated on Podil. Great interior design. Real mexican kitchen. Cocktails parties, discounts, happy hours, bizarre service party every year.
Khreschatyk (Main Shopping Street)
7 Reviews Khreschatyk street has a lot of stalls selling all kinds of stuff. CD's, crafts, gifts, stationery, antiques, Dynamo Kiev scarf and similar personal effects. Even though the stalls look like places where you can bargain, be careful if you don't know the rules. I started to bargain too much and...
13 Reviews Bessarabka market at Bessarabka Square offers all kinds of fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat, seafood, fish, caviar, spices and flowers. The sales people will lure you and drag you to try and buy their stuff and more often than not they will succeed. The range of goods is impressive - you can get all...
Metrograd (Underground Shoppping Mall)
4 Reviews The inner spaces are divided in quarters, and there are the gift quarter, the clothes and shoes quarter, the sport quarter, the book quarter, the boutique quarter, the service quarter, the furniture quarter, etc. The thematic grouping of the stores saves customers' time and provides pleasant...
3 Reviews I have found here in VT that "Petrovka" has been declared to be a black market. This may be correct for some corners of the market, yet this also implies that such conditions are kind of typical for Ukraine as a whole. This association is certainly not true. I must underline that folks over there...
16 Reviews To give it the correct name the Valeriy Lobanovskyy stadium, home of Dynamo Kiev. No game for us to watch but able to get close and have a look around, it's a good looking place as footie grounds go, entrance especially memorable but not that big I suspect. Worth a look if you like football.
5 Reviews Diverse sports tournaments are being arranged in Hydropark excellently located at the Dnieper river. If you rather prefer not watching but participating in the sports activities, then :)rather take a swimbath for swimming, beach voleyball, or surfing. What else?! :) Boating, sailing, also biking,...
