Café restaurants in Ukraine

  1. Orteol

    Although it touts itself mainly as a patisserie and café-bar, Orteol also serves meals ranging from Ukrainian and Georgian to French and Spanish. There’s even a slight Japanese touch in the deliciously oil-free Kyoto salad. Indeed, carnivores and vegetarians alike find the worst thing about the place is having to make a choice from the extensive menu.

    Kafe Elina

    This café behind the Museum of Hutsul Folk Art is a typical Hutsul, kolyba arrangement with tables and knick-knacks in a wooden hut serving salad and shashlyk. Many visitors, however, will be reminded of a German beer garden, and will plump for a bottle of tasty Chernihivske Bile.

  3. Café Madeleine

    A funky little find with a southwest-US vibe – think Aztec-style etchings in earthy-toned walls. The blyny (pancakes) here are famous and a mere 40uah earns you the right to inhale from flavoured kalyan (hookah) pipes.

    Cafe Kimbo

    Black-and-white photos and old newspaper-style menus give this café an arty atmosphere – with the accompanying smoke. In summer head for the outdoor seating. Besides coffee or beer served in a frosty mug, there are good desserts.

    Kaktus Kafe

    Probably the most popular hang-out in town, this smoky, noisy joint is full of beer- and coffee-drinkers. The theme is decidedly Wild West upstairs; downstairs it seems to be Aztec. The food is pretty good, but the service can be slow.

    Pasazh

    This Austrian-style coffee house is one of several cafés found on and around Pasazh, a hip street accessed through an ornate archway off vul Khreshchatyk. Great for people-watching as you tuck into some of its delicious cakes.

    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.

  8. Cafe Flora

    The chic, white leather seats and black tables here seem strangely out of place in this otherwise run-down building with dodgy stairs. However, its coffees, salads and basic meals are a godsend for local campers and hikers.

  9. Chai Dom

    This charming tearoom, located in another nice stretch of restaurants, is good for beverages, hookah pipes and snacks like fruit salads and blinis. At times, however, the sulky-teenager service is laughable.

  10. Café Uyoot

    Acquaint yourself with one of Kerch’s main eating avenues in this popular casual café. Fish dishes seem to be popular choices and its calamari with fried onions is delicious.

  12. Yakar

    This friendly little café is the only place in town for a canal-side beer and snack. The food is basic Russian fare and the Obolon draught beer is cheap (3.50uah).

  13. Rose Cafe

    This violet-and-rose postmodern café is not only a chic place to be seen, it serves pretty good coffee, sandwiches, milkshakes, cocktails and spirits, too.

    Khelen

    This is a very laid-back local café with humble food that’s excellent value. Choose a Formica table near the counter, or head for one of the private booths.

    Cafe Da Da

    Funky-arty-bohemian is what it is, just down the hill from the Uzhhorod Castle. Not much serious food here – mostly just snacks and beverages.

  16. Park Avenue

    This pleasant café is famous for its scrumptious skovorodky (frying pans) – meat casseroles, essentially.

    Dio Long

    Cafeteria-style Chinese resto. Not pretty but works if you have no money and are tired of greasy Ukrainian stolovy.

    Repriza

    Not only does it have good coffee and delectable pastries and cakes, but it also makes a fine, affordable lunch stop.
