Café Myshi Blyakhera

Top choice in Eastern Ukraine


There is an overcomplicated pun in the name involving mice and a retired Jewish gangster who allegedly left a handwritten book of recipes in this cellar place. If we are to believe the legend, this hardened man had a soft spot for Italian pasta, Azov Sea fish and Danubian frogs. A cool place full of old books and local bohemians.

To find the entrance, look out for a blue door on the side of the block.
