Another national Ukrainian dish is called 'vareniki' or 'varenyky'.You can fill those vareniki with any meat. My family makes those vareniki's in various ways.On the picture pancakes, called "deruny", thanx for telling me me Roadnottaken:-)
The national cuisine reflects the richness and variety of its traditions which are linked to the customs, culture, spirituality, and folkways of Ukraine. Many dishes are noted for their complexity and variety of cooking methods.Borshch, an aromatic and appetizing beet-based soup, is the most popular and widely-known Ukrainian dish, containing many ingredients. Besides, meat, standard Ukrainian borshch contains 20 other ingredients. Different versions of borshch are prepared in other regions of Ukraine. The Poltava version, served with halushky (dumplings) contains 18 ingredients, Chernihiv borshch has 16 ingredients. Borshch may be prepared with beef, chicken, meat or mushroom-filled dumplings, baked beets, beans, and mushrooms.Also popular are the many versions of sauerkraut soup: standard, with buckwheat groats, mushrooms, beans; potato soup, barley soup, and green pea soup.Many dishes...
A lot of restaurants and acfees in the old townWe were just in one of the old-town small restaurants (unfortynately I don't remember the name but I remember well the location). The atmosphere inside was exactly like the atmosphere os the whole town - nice and friendly. Prices were even for me, Ukrainian, ridiculously low - we paid about $3 for the dinner for 2 persons (not for each one - for 2 as a whole). I did not feel well, had a headaiche and restaurant owner trying to help, gave me a medicine. Nice people, really the fondest memory. Vegetable soup, maize kasha (mamalyga), national meat dish 'kruchenyky' and a lot of others
As most of the European cities Odessa has a wild night life. Not the life as you would expect after midnight on the 43rd street in New York City, but the life as you would find in Paris, Rome. People go out, they walk on the streets of this beautiful city and enjoy life. Odessa at night is as beautiful as in daytime. People just go places to meet each other, new and old friends.
If you are in Crimea(south Ukraine) you will see the most beautiful sea on the planet- the Black Sea. And there are a lot of restaurants :) i would like to start with Radisson SAS Lazurnaya. Its not very rich but is very comfortable and cozy:) I like shrimps , different salads made of sea-foods:). I like a lot of different items but im not fat:)
Stolovye everywhere are fine, but my favourite is a 'Blinnaya' (Pancakery) in Gurzuf, Crimea. Overlooks the sea, serves great bliny, borshch, cutlets, aubergines out of huge pots with slightly dirty cutlery at about a millionth of restaurant prices. Eating steaming hot borshch by the sea when it's +40 celsius is something everyone ought to experience. Plus they offered me a job one year, and when I returned two years later they asked me if I was a tax inspector.
As in Russia, my favorite restaurant in Ukraine is home cooking ! :) If you like soup, then try Ukrainian borsch (not to be confused with the Russian kind, made solely with beets). It is made with a tomato base, lots of different vegetables, white kidney beans and garlic.As an aperitiv, try Spotikach, a cherry- or plum-based drink. (There may be other varieties, as well, but those are the two that I tried.) You can't miss the bottle with the dancing Cossack on the front, dressed like the model in the picture I've included with this entry.
And for those of you who worry it's all Ukrainian food - fear no more. In the big cities you find all kinds of restaurants, Italian, American, Georgian, Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Irish etc. etc.Here you can see a very good pizza restaurant in Kyiv - Da Vinci. Great pizza.
Lots of excellent restaurants in Kyiv. The best Ukrainian restaurants are Khutorets (on a boat achored at the river) and Tsarskoe Selo. Very good French, Italian, Mexican, Japanese etc. Quality is high and prices are reasonable for foreigners, although high for locals. The Ukrainian soup, bortsch, is absolutely a favorite. Just delicious. The picture shows a somewhat more 'dubious' delicatessy - ox balls - which I was served in an excellent Georgian restaurant in Yalta in the Crimea.
The 'Hunter' restaurant is a somewhat upscale place, but really nice. Small with fantastic decorations of wild stuffed animals and furs. Why not try boar? On my travelouge you can read about how we hunted boar in the Carpathians.
