Ukrainians, as a hospitable people and such that loves to eat tasty, widely disclose the guests of catering institutions and invite to try incredibly delicious national cuisine dishes.
In Kiev, where at the moment there is probably more than a thousand restaurants with kitchens around the world, cafe, pubs, every Kievian and the guest of the capital can easily choose an institution for themselves: cozy, interesting, with original offers and prices for any wallet.
To tell about all the gold places in one article, it seems to me unreal. But allocate the most or most you can. I want to emphasize that the institutions described below like me personally (and my friends). Their assessment is my subjective opinion, built on impressions from visits to these places.
So, I will start with the most popular snack point in the city, near the metro station "Theatrical" - "Kiev Copper" . Already more than thirty years near a small kiosk are going long, but quickly passing queues. Why? Yes, because here they sell the most appetizing sausage in the world in the dough for funny money - 5 hryvnia (UAH.). Its taste cannot be described in words. It would seem that the usual meat sausage in a yeast dough ... But neither adults nor children nor the children who follow the girl or serious business men could not resist her. My advice to you: If it is possible - I will definitely try this "delicacy". Will not - find it!
Next establishment, or rather a network of establishments in which I would advise visit - Variable "Katyusha" . USSR restaurants are mainly in the central regions of Kiev. In the home kitchen dishes menu, each - and adult, and the child will find something to taste. The availability of prices is pleasant please. What, in my humble opinion, it is necessary to try: dumplings (with all sorts of fillings) - for the portion of satisfying pleasure you pay from 24 to 50 UAH; Baked vegetables with cheese for 42 UAH. - Light, but no less appetizing. If you want to eat more thoroughly, order borsch with pampushki for 24 UAH. or roast in a frying pan for 39 UAH. Do not forget to pamper yourself as dessert. Take pancakes with poppy and honey for 27 UAH., Cupcake "Sausage" for 27 UAH., Jelly "Milk Chocolate" for 20 UAH. We can drink all this yummy in 25 UAH., Coffee - from 14 UAH., Fruit non-alcoholic cocktails - from 22 UAH. or alcoholic beverages - from 22-30 UAH. Comfortable atmosphere, friendly, mostly staff and delicious homemade food awaken the desire to return again.
If we separate institutions for children separately, the first thing that comes to the head is a restaurant "Baby Bar" On Lviv Square, where everything for young guests: dietary dishes from natural products, animated programs, game room. Seasonal and special menus are often introduced in the institution, so different prices: soup from 25 UAH., Salatics somewhere from 50 UAH., Desserts from 35 UAH. I like that a child can not just eat here, but also play with the same kids, work out with a nanny and learn something new. Mommies and daddy, of course, can also have a snack, chat in a carefree and bright atmosphere, to spend an invaluable time with the "flowers of life."
Feel like a hero of the film "Charlie and Chocolate Factory" and pleading to nourish breathtaking candies of handmade "Lviv Master of Chocolate" (on Podol and Khreshchatyk). Yes, fully dine will not work here, but you will try the most delicious Lviv coffee (from 15 UAH.) And the most delicious chocolate. If desired, you can order tea (from 15 UAH), cocktails (from 25 UAH.). Original candy (in just 5 UAH. / PC. You will definitely give you a good mood, will call a smile and transfer to childhood, when they took a piece of chocolate so carefully and bite on a little bit to stretch the pleasure. I want to buy everything and quickly, without changing with anyone, eat everything yourself. But do not forget to buy sweet souvenir and friends!
In Kiev, on Podol, there is a cafe-bakery "Lviv dance" . Here on your eyes will prepare chubby drokes, air rudely (salty and sweet) will be offered to choose from different sauces. The undoubted plus establishment is a freshness of baking. It does not even have time to cool anything, because people quickly disassemble yummy (from 27 UAH.). And dries in principle with coffee or tea (from 20 UAH.). If there is no time to sit calmly and eat, you can order your favorite dish with you!
Another place that you want to tell - a democratic Fan bar "Bank" (network establishments and on the right, and on the left bank). Why cost to visit this place? Because here is not only interesting, but also tasty! Why is it interesting here? Yes, because all dishes and drinks are presented in banks: half-liter, liter, three-liter: salads (from 15 UAH.), Soups (from 20 UAH.), Chicken wings (40 UAH.), Mozzarella sticks (20 UAH. ), dumplings (35 UAH) and those in the bank. From many alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages - Skotov (from 15 UAH.), Longs (from 35 UAH.), Beer, Tea, Coffee, Juices (from 15 UAH.) - It's hard to choose, so a waiter will always come to the rescue that everything will tell , And if necessary and will show how to drink. The atmosphere in the "bank" is friendly and always fun. Little and big companies here are always good!
If you do not intend to trape in restaurants or cafes, go into small or large supermarkets ("Fora", "ATB", "Velik Kishya", "Auchan", "Bill", etc.), which in the city of the indiscretion And buy that your soul is used - from semi-finished products to ready-made culinary products. Preferences, of course, have all different. Consider prices for some sought-after goods.
Bread can be bought for 5-6 UAH. Buckwheat will cost 13-14 UAH. And the chicken fillet to it is 40 UAH. Oil on which you can cook light dinner - 15-20 UAH. Love omelet for breakfast? Prepare it from eggs for 10 UAH. (for a dozen) and milk for 9-10 UAH. Add some vegetables (from 10-12 UAH.) And fruits (from 15 UAH) in your diet. From drinks, acquire Kola (for 13 UAH.), Chernihiv's beer (from 6 UAH), coffee or tea (from 10 and 20 UAH. Respectively). The price of sugar fluctuates within 10-11 UAH. It is impossible to be in Kiev and do not try the "Kiev" cake for 90-120 UAH., Candy "Evening Kiev" for 70-80 UAH.
Please note that the prices may well fluctuate from a minus plus. Yes, yes, it is a pity that not the opposite!
Well, I hope, you have a common idea of the places of snack in Kiev, the possibilities of purchased products on their own and cost. Come, open up new non-bank places for yourself, try different dishes and choose your favorite. Bon Appetit! Or as Ukrainians say: "Successful!"
