Housed in a building that looks like a lighthouse, Chernomorka serves seafood and dishes of the Black sea region. The outdoor terrace and wide selection of wines are particularly inviting on balmy summers, so head here for enjoying the night .
Dining
Bread is central to Ukrainian food culture, and so is borshch, a hearty and red coloured soup with beetroot. However, other local specialties are varenyky (large stuffed dumplings that can be both savoury and sweet), holubtsi (meat and rice rolled in cabbage leaves and topped with tomato sauce) and pelmeny (meat filled ravioli). Kyiv’s cosmopolitan restaurants span multiple national borders, and the Japanese kitchen and fusion menus are the current big thing.
