Bohrach

The Carpathians


Mukacheve's top place for local rations is Bohrach, a rural-themed tavern just off the main square. The hearty Transcarpathian food comes heavily spiced and includes such local delicacies as brain stew and 'scars' in cream sauce (turns out to be tripe). The cosy interior is complimented in summer by a new, modern covered courtyard; some diners complain of long waits for food.
