Reflection

Top choice in The Carpathians


Tea, porridge, real English breakfasts – if you're from Blighty you'll love this tranquil retreat with its boutique interior, impeccably polite, English-speaking waiters and a quite un-Ukrainian atmosphere of calm and unobtrusiveness. And if you're from anywhere else, the Caesar salad, fried porcini appetisers, Black Forest gateau, pork in chilli sauce, panacotta and handmade chocolates remind you of the culinary world you left behind.

Surely one of the region's finest eateries and Chernivtsi's best since the start of the millennium.
