LOCAL FOOD EXPERIENCE IN THE CENTER OF KYIV

I talk about my city and country because I want people to learn about Ukraine. What beautiful nature, architecture, entertainment and local food await travelers? Check out my list of delicious places in the very center of the capital, Ukraine, and come to us!

Let`s start a one day with me!

  1. Propose to start your day with breakfast at TAKAVA Coffee-Buffet 2.0. By the way, the breakfast menu is valid here throughout the day. You can order porridge, egg Benedict, granola, brioche, salad, appetizer or sweet pastries. The coffee here is very tasty and is prepared according to original recipes. The cafe is located in the very center of Kiev.

  1. Do you like cooking at home? Then only from the best Ukrainian products! Come to the Bessarabian market and choose from abundance fresh meat, fish, vegetables and fruits. The market has been operating since 1912 and still it is the best place to taste our local products.

  1. Still have not tried Ukrainian prosciutto, cheese and wine? Come to Prosciutteria Wine and Deli in the Bessarabian Market. They offer 9 types of Ukrainian meat delicacies, grape snails and cheeses from local producers, as well as oysters. A small cozy place for true connoisseurs of delicacies. After trying the snail, make a wish, and when it comes true come again!

  1. Need a sweet romantic souvenir from Kiev? Go to the Ukrainian GIFTS STORE. There you can find an exquisite dessert “Kiev dry jam.” These are candied pieces of fruit, vegetables and berries. Previously,100 years ago only rich people could afford this sweetness. They bought candied fruits for a gift or before a declaration of love.

  2. Walking along Khreshchatyk go to relax in the cafe Paliturka. In the cafe you can enjoy delicious coffee or tea together with pie. In this place works bookcrossing: you can bring your own book and exchange it for one of those in the coffee shop.On the 2nd floor there is a shop with souvenirs and designer jewelry.

  1. For dinner I recommend trying a very famous Kyiv dish. Chicken Kyiv was created in Kiev, presumably in pre-revolutionary times, at the very beginning of the XX century. Now the Chicken Kiev is a traditional dish of Ukrainian cuisine, which is familiar all over the world. Restaurant “Chicken Kyiv” is a gastronomic location where an amazing atmosphere reigns. The cost of Chicken Kyiv here is about 5 euros.

Welcome to Kyev my dear guests! Many more discoveries await you here!

@HelenSolo Спасибо за такой подробный пост. Много раз была в Киеве, но никогда не слышала о Киевском сухом варенье. Я всё-таки в первую очередь вспоминаю Киевский торт, не раз даже привозила его в Беларусь, себе и по заказу знакомых. У нас тоже продается Киевский торт в магазинах, но он совсем не такой на вкус.
