Osteria Pantagruel

$$$

Popular with locals and international visitors alike, this is a popular Italian restaurant with a wide menu that goes beyond pasta and pizza, offering traditional soups, cheeses, and meat and fish dishes. Prices are a little steep by local standards, but the quality of food is excellent and the house-made pastas get rave reviews. Off-white spackled walls and dark-wood ceiling beams give it the feeling of a medieval tavern, and there’s a plant-filled front terrace for summertime dining.

Pervak

$$$

A good spot to try Ukrainian food, Pervak offers a large selection of popular local specialties in amusingly kitschy surrounds. This funkily decorated spot has a vintage theme, with a hodgepodge of old photos on the walls and child-size dolls on swings suspended from the ceilings. Waitresses garbed in traditional attire serve up Ukrainian favorites ranging from potato pancakes with pork fat to specially prepared eel, and there’s a great selection of beer and vodka to wash it all down.

Under Wonder Restaurant

$$$

One of the newest additions to Kiev's culinary scene, Under Wonder has quickly established itself as one of the city's trendiest places to eat. The menu focuses heavily on Western European items—think veal carpaccio and foie gras—and traditional Ukrainian breakfasts of cottage cheese crepes are served in the morning. The interior features exposed brick walls painted cream, multicolored glass windows, and lush red velvet booth seating on the lower floor. Candles and potted plants add a touch of hominess.
