Ukrainian Cuisine - 5 Foods To Try in Kiev, Ukraine Travel Food Video Transcript:

We are diving straight into another Ukrainian food (українські страви) video as you can see the food is already at the table so we're going to get rolling here. We're at a restaurant called O'Panas (ОПанас) which Sam discovered by chance when he was walking around Taras Shevchenko. I was just jogging in fact. It is located in the middle of a park and also the restaurant is like built around this giant tree. I know. It is so cool. Right now we're on the second floor and the tree trunk is just there.

Yeah. So it is a pretty cool setting. It feels very rustic, very traditional. We actually came here for dinner last night and they had live music playing the accordion. So we were like we need to come back for lunch.

or my appetizer I ordered a mushroom soup. Mushroom soup with dumplings (Грибна юшка з домашніми галушками у хлібній скоринці) and it said it came with bread crusts so I was like alright they'll bring me some bread.

I am having a Ukrainian salad (Закарпатський) here and it is pretty special. It has got um veal and it has goat cheese, it has zucchini and you can see that it has some tomatoes here. I'm just going to like. I see mushrooms as well. Mushrooms oh wow look. That looks so good and it comes in a honey mustard glaze.

Here is what I call a big sexy mug of beer. That is a proper pint. And I'm trying the local one. It is Lvivske 1715 (Львівське 1715). So that one probably comes from Lviv.

I am having a forest berries juice (Напій з лісових ягід).

I ordered cabbage rolls (Голубці з домашньою сметаною) and yeah these come stuffed with rice, beef, pork. Those look good.

This is duck brisket (Вогняна качка) and it appears to be cranberry sauce and then some caramelized oranges. Some caramelized oranges on the bottom.

I'm not going to lie there is probably nothing Ukrainian about this dish. We ordered apple strudel (Штрудель яблучний з морозивом).

So the price of that meal was 770 which was $30 USD Highly recommend this place.

This is part of our Travel in Ukraine video series showcasing Ukrainian food (українська кухня), Ukrainian culture and Ukrainian cuisine (українські страви).
