Restaurants in Odesa

  1. A

    Turkuaz

    While many restaurants on vul Derybasivska overcharge tourists for mediocre food, Turkuaz continues to dish up mouth-watering kebabs, Turkish salads and draught beer at extremely sane prices. Punctuate the experience by launching heavenly wisps of melon- or apple-scented vapours skyward from what, at 40uah, must be Odesa’s most reasonably priced kalyan (hookah pipes).

    Top Sandwich

    Odesa’s best budget eatery assembles a wide selection of sandwiches and shawarmas and also cooks up Ukrainian classics like borshch and varenyky (dumplings). At 6uah, the beers are the cheapest on vul Derybasivska. There is a new outlet at vul Derybasivska 18 and another at vul Preobrazhenska 42.

    Kasylysa

    A brace of bold, themed restaurants grace the corner of vul Havanna and vul Lanzheronivska. This is the Russian rendition. If you’re one of those who thinks you haven’t travelled until you’ve eaten something bizarre, their ‘warm salad of cut bull’s testicles’ is for you.

    Pulcinella

    The bright teal interior gives this place a seaside Mediterranean feel, but it’s the scrumptious five-course meals that will really make you feel like you’re in southern Italy. The culinary highlights are the lasagne and the brick-oven-fired pizza.

    Tavriya

    This squeaky clean food mecca in the basement of Odesa’s Galareya Afina mall has instantly become the city’s most popular eating option. It consists of a Ukrainian-food stolova (cafeteria), a pizza and pasta bar, and a large supermarket.

    Zara Pizzara

    This pizzeria has an enviously located summer terrace, real Italian-style thin-crust pizza loaded with toppings, and hefty calzones. What sets it apart is that it actually opens before 9am for breakfast. For that we’ll excuse the overpriced beer.

    Fat Mozes

    Sounds like a New York deli, doesn’t it? However, apart from the roast-beef sandwiches, it isn’t quite. The atmosphere is more of a cosy, unpretentious bistro, serving an eclectic mix that includes souvlaki, goulash and Jamaican chicken.

    Klarabara

    Tucked away in a quiet corner of the City Garden, this classy, cosy, ivy-covered café and restaurant is awash with antique furniture and fine art. It serves European fare with Thai touches, plus brilliant Turkish coffee.

    The leafy open-air food stands in this park are superb places to relax and eat chicken legs or khachipuri (Georgian pizzas) washed down with draft beer.

    This is an excellent underground kosher eatery.
