What you will experience
Ukraine's hospitality and delicious meals are well-known far beyond its borders. Ukraine's rich soil and hard-working people created an ancient tradition of healthy food prepared with a rich taste. Some dishes are more popular during cold winter months (which help you to keep warm), whereas others, with lighter ingredients, are cooked during beautiful spring and hot summer.
Let's meet and seize the opportunity to delve deeper into the old original Ukrainian gastronomy. I promise you will be surprised discovering some secret recipes and unusual components of the national Ukrainian cuisine! Have you ever heard about yummy Kiev's dry jam or Balabukh's varenye? If not, I have a lot of interesting stories to tell you about.
Let's explore the typical homemade delicacies. Here you will find a great choice of all kinds of things: a famous Ukrainian Borsch (red and green) with Smetana (particular sour cream) and Pampushki (small hot breads topped with chopped garlic and dill), a renowned Chicken Kiev or Kyiv Cutlet, Varenyky or boiled dumplings, Salo or Smalets (finely sliced fat) with different spices, Oseledets Pid Shuboyu (a beetroot salad with pickled herring and other vegetables), as well as appetizing Holubtsy, Deruny, Zrazy, Mlyntsy, Pyrohy and, of course, Ukrainian cossack Kulish! Is it making your mouth water? Wait for a minute, try also flavourful Ukrainian drinks such as Uzvar, Medovukha, Cherry Nalyvka and Horilka (especially that one, with honey and red hot pepper). What about the authentic Ukrainian desserts? Kyiv Cake, Medovik, Napoleon... Oh, that sounds like a poem! You should also try that Kiev specialty like Kyivska Perepichka (simple but good and fresh street food since 1981).
Come to Kiev hungry! The culinary masterpieces of our cuisine will fill you up, delight your palate and teach you local traditions at the same time! Believe me, this gastro tour will wow your taste buds! Simply is worth doing! Waiting for you and see you soon!
