YAROSLAV

Yaroslaviv Val 13, 212-4260

Ukrainian - Continental

Great food at very reasonable prices. Interesting decor of the Kievan Rus period. The downstairs is decorated with a castle-like ambiance. Pleasant and well worth it.

$$ Hr 35 60/10

YAROSLAVIV DVIR (NR)

Prospect Peremohy 139, 444-9082

Ukrainian

Another Kievan Rus castle decor serving Ukrainian food. Read about it in EE's Dining Guide. Sounds like a nice place to take the family or kids.

ZAMOK VYDUBYCHI 5

Naberezhno-Pecherska, 247-9940

Ukrainian - Continental - Fish

Although it was difficult to find (4 taxi drivers did not know how to get there), the restaurant decor and river-side location were interesting and promised a pleasant experience. Unfortunately, this was not to be. When we walked in, the place was empty except for a table with a party of 10 in one corner. We were seated at a table by the window (one of several with the same type of location and view). The menu was nicely done and again promised of interesting things to come. The waiter was pleasant and helpful and we ordered wine, mineral water, appetizers, and main courses. The whole process took 20-30 minutes which we did not mind since the view and atmosphere were soothing and pleasant. Suddenly, the Maitre D' (a rather large young woman) appeared and asked us to move to another table. This was most incomprehensible since all tables were the same and all were empty (except for one in the corner). We asked not to be moved since the waiter was ready to serve us our wine. However the Maitre D' insisted and would not take no for an answer. She indicated that the table was reserved (no reserve sign) for her friend from the restaurant business. We again indicated that all tables were the same, had the same view, and were in basically the same location. She was adamant: "No - you cannot sit there, you have to move." Even the waiter was shocked. Needless to say, we left - never to return. My recommendation: Don't bother. The place is far, difficult to get to, and you don't need the aggravation of a Maitre D' that does not know how to treat customers. Food: Don't know - never go to taste any.

ZA DVOMA ZAYTSIAMY (After 2 Hares)

Andriyivskyj Uzviz 34, 416-3516

Ukrainian - Slavic

One of the most pleasant and interesting restaurants in Kyiv. Lovingly decorated by the owner and boasting attentive service. The food is Ukrainian but delicious (I have been criticized for saying this, but I find most Ukrainian fare outside of "Lypskyj Osobnyak" to be uninspired and bland). A great place for a leisurely coffee, tea, or drink when visiting Andriyivskyj Uzviz. The restaurant also features shows (currently "Moulin Rouge") which will add to your entertainment and dining pleasure. Several rooms so it is ideal for parties. Not to be missed.

ZAPORIZHIA

Podil, 27 Sahaydachnoho, 416-2309

French.

Once "the" place to take your date to impress him or her to the n'th degree. Now it suffers from the lack of care, the inability to change with the times, and trying to please everyone. The French food prepared by Chef Richard is superb. The desserts - outstanding. Zaporizhia's problem however is that its management believes it must maintain the restaurant "as is" in order to please its few steady and stalwart clients. While other restaurants in the city move with the times and new (and great) ones open at the rate of one a week - this could be a mistake.

ZOLOTA RYBKA (Golden Fish)

Vul. Arsenalna 9/11, 294-9180

Fish - Seafood.

Outstanding Fish. I have never had a bad meal here (although in winter months I was so cold that I had to rush through the meals). The decor is cold (good for summer months, but not pleasant in the winter), lots of marble, fish tanks in the floor, even marble seating (with cushions) in places. The prices are reasonable; the wine selection is good, and the service attentive. Do come and enjoy - but in winter - wear warm clothes.

ZORRO (NR)

Saksahanskoho 67, 227-1278

Steakhouse.

What can you expect from a "steakhouse" that also advertises "an extensive menu". I can only guess: a little of this and a little of that, and something for everyone - none of which can really be exceptional - don't you agree? I think small restaurants should stick to small menus.
