Best places to eat and drink in Kyiv?

[KellyPhilippina]

Hi all! I’m visiting Kyiv for the first time and have no idea where to eat. I’d love to try real Ukrainian food, maybe some good drinks too. Any must-visit spots or hidden gems for food in Kyiv?

Hey! I totally get you - I used the Visit Kyiv food guide before my trip and it’s a lifesaver. Here you'll find places serving everything from traditional Ukrainian dishes like borscht, varenyky, and Kyiv pie to pizza and sushi, as well as exotic dishes from trendy international establishments. Plus, it lists pubs, bars, and cozy cafés. Honestly, if you’re looking for places to eat in kyiv, it’s the easiest way to find both the tourist favorites and some local hidden gems.
