Great French provincial food if the part owner/chef is in place and watching the kitchen (unfortunately he often is not and the cuisine suffers). Decor is French provincial but beginning to wear around the edges. Once very popular with the French diplomatic corps, but the rumor goes that dancing on the tables at a reception by the part owner/chef resulted in their present avoidance of the establishment. $$$$

3 floors of wonderful entertainment, eating and drinking. Great paella's and other Spanish fare. Not cheap - but good. After dinner - a pleasant game of billiards and socializing with the bar crowd. Authentic decor and atmosphere. You feel as if you stepped into a club in Madrid. |

My Chinese food lover friends had nothing good to say about this out of the way establishment. I have not tried it, so I should not comment. Let me know if you have any good experiences. $$

Wonderful Pub atmosphere which belies the tasty, plentiful and diverse food. If you are expecting traditional Pub food (that tasteless variety you find in other places) then you are in for a treat. Just about every dish is very good to exceptional. The steaks are large, tasty, and well prepared. The sandwiches are the best in Kyiv. The duck dishes are outstanding as are all of the appetizers (with the exception of the Irish potatoes). The salads are most interesting - especially the Caesar's salad which is not the classical kind but it fills you up and tastes great. Live music on weekends at the lower bar which tends to fill up quickly so come early. $$

I have never had a bad meal here. Although I am not a connoisseur of Georgian or Caucasus cooking, I thoroughly enjoy the atmosphere, fine tasting food, and exceptional wines in this homey restaurant. The only drawbacks are the prices (quite high for this type of restaurant) and the fact that if they are even half full with regular customers, service will tend to be very slow. I love experimenting, so I rarely remember the foods that I had but the kachipuri is excellent. |

According to Daniel Mac Isaac of the Kyiv Post in the 4 April 2002 issue, this "refined clientele" restaurant boasts "fine dining". He states that "Great China holds enough promise that we didn't regret our promise to ourselves to pay a return visit". |

Kosher - Jewish cuisine in Podil in a relaxing atmosphere. Music on weekends. $$$$

As you enter you are welcomed by the God Shiva - the symbol of the restaurant. Then you hear Vietnamese music as the hostess welcomes you into this charming and sumptuously and authentically decorated restaurant. All the amenities are present to make you feel warm and welcome. My experience with Vietnamese foods in Hanoi was exceptional and I remember fondly the great restaurants that I found there. I had been very disappointed with Long Phuong in Podil, but my trepidations were unfounded. The food at Hanoi is as good as the decor and atmosphere. I highly recommend their spring rolls (Vietnamese style) and their spicy fish. The restaurant is also associated with U Hetmana Restaurant next door which features Ukrainian cooking and live music. $$$

Be careful, there are several restaurants in Kyiv called "Hetman" with the same "Hetman" brand of vodka and spirits writing. These are not franchises and they are not part of the same group. All are independent. There are Herman restaurants on Institutska Vul across from National Bank, also next to the Hanoi Restaurant, and I have seen others in other areas but I can't recall where. This particular "Hetman" is a cozy little place with wood bench seating against the walls, period pictutes above the seating, and a pleasant atmosphere. The service is attentive and the prices very reasonable (as in all Hetman restaurants). The dishes include a variety of meats from lamb to veal to pork. The preparation of these dishes as well as the names are quire original. Fish and seafood dishes are also available, as are a variety of excellent desserts. |

Tried it 3 times. The last time the tuna sushi looked like it was there since WWII. Others seem to like it though. Maybe I'm too picky with my sushi selections. The restaurant has a variety of Japanese style cuisines including sashimi, teppan yaki, yakitori, and tempura. $$

Pub/bar. One of Eric Aigner's offerings to the Kyiv pub/bar scene. This 24 hour establishment specializes in beer, and lots of it, to wash down all those peanuts that are served free but in-the-shell. Favorite among the University crowd, the place is kept hopping. Food is good but nothing special. Notable are the sandwiches, soups, and appetizers. $$

Pricey Ukrainian food in an authentic setting with staff dressed in Ukrainian costumes. Before Khutorets and Kozak Mamai opened, this was the place to take your friends from abroad to sample Ukrainian fare. Many specialty dishes that you will not find anywhere else. $$$

Two restaurants in one. One elegant the other casual. Good food, friendly service and a warm atmosphere. One of those places you would want to come back to over and over if you only lived or worked in the neighborhood. So if you do - you should consider it. $$$

Good to mediocre Indian cooking but it will repeat on you for hours, so eat early. The chef loves oil and grease - so there is plenty of it with all the dishes. The grease helps coat the stomach if you are sensitive to Indian spices, but if you like Indian food as I do, all you taste is oil. The only recommended dishes are the vegetarian Samosas and the Tandoori dishes which fortunately are not cooked in grease. Breads are good but skimpy and relatively expensive. My favorite bread "aloo paratha" leaves a lot to be desired. $$

Situated on the top floor of the restored Premier Palace hotel (the best hotel in Kyiv), this restaurant offer you a spectacular view of Kyiv. Taste a variety of well prepared foods that will tempt your palate. |
