The first genuine French gastronomic experience of a restaurant in Ukraine (and Eastern Europe for that matter) has opened its doors.

This café offers a quiet retreat from the crowded bustle of Adriivs’kyi uzviz. The interior is in vogue, but the patrons are from all walks of life. Though elusive, tables near the window come with pie sliced views of the street and Andriivs’ka tserkva (St. Andrew’s Church). [...]

Open 24hrs Metro station:

Kontraktova Ploscha
Dixieland
This is not some bastion of American Confederate values, but rather a relaxing jazz restaurant serving French cuisine. The orchestra plays your favourite songs on request, and the food and wine selections don’t disappoint - except in price. Also, note the location is a bit out-of-the-way. [...]

The sophisticated, refined interior will shame anyone thinking that jeans and a t-shirt will do. The prices are high and the portions are not exactly what you would call big, but the entire menu of French cuisine is excellent. A great place to have a romantic dinner or to impress your friends.

The cuisine and décor of this classy restaurant reflect different, exotic French colonies. The Algerian hall hosts romantic candlelit meals to the sounds of gentle murmur of a waterfall.

This is one of the city’s most expensive eateries, which is probably why it’s a favourite of the Ukrainian nouveaux-riches. The interior oozes European elegance, while the French cuisine features wild game dishes such as rabbit pate and no fewer than five kinds of goose liver. The entra [...]
