KYIV DESTINATIONS: Volodymyrsky, Zhitny and Bessarabskiy markets

Volodomyrsky market on 115, Gorkovo St, near Palats Ukraina metro station is open daily from 0700-1700. It is a much more down to earth market compared with the tourism office's favourite recommendation; Bessarabskiy market at the end of Kheshchatik.
Both Volodmysky market and the one in Podil (Zhitny market) near Kontraktova Ploshchka metro have amazing convex rooves.
Things to look out for include pickled wild garlic stems; fresh clay-oven baked Georgian bread (Lavash); rose-coloured tomatoes; preserved tomatoes in brine; flower teas.

Examples include Cowberry pie, Rabbit and Mushrooms Pie, Herring Pie, Cherry Pie and Brocilli Pie, among others. Each pie is enormous and can feed a large family. In Stolle you can buy slices or a whole pie to eat in or take away. The store / restaurant is currently undergoing refurbishment ready for Eurovision! If you prefer something smaller than a Pirog, then you can try little pies, or Pi

Believe'n'Peace (1999)  Maltese Connections  EUROVISION COUNTRY: Malta KYIV DESTINATIONS: Maltese Restaurant Porto; Dog friendly cafes in Kyiv Unlike many other European cities, Kyiv can boast of it's own Maltese restaurant, called Porto  http://porto-rest.com/en/ , which provides excellent (if expensive - at €20 a person) fish and southern Mediterranean dishes. It has been completely renovated last year. Below we show the before on the left, and the after on the right. Porto is located very close to Olympiska metro station, a corner kick away from the main football stadium. All is not what it seems, however, as the chef/owner is Serbian! The same can be said of another "Maltese" institution in Ukraine: The Sovereign Order of Malta:  http://forbes.net.ua/nation/1400976-posol-maltijskogo-ordena-v-ukraine-nasha-tradiciya-so-dnya-osnovaniya-byt-s-temi-kto-stradaet-i-n   The Order of Malta is a government without a territory or political or econom
