Ukrainian Strudel  

KYIV DESTINATION: Lvivski Plyatski 
Because parts of western Ukraine were within the Austria for 100 years, Ukraine has a fine tradition of strudel. 
Especially Lviv (Lvov or Lemburg) which was the capital of Galicia, a region within the Austro-Hungarian empire right up to 1918.
Therefore you can find a number of strudel options around Kyiv.
The strudels are both savoury and sweet. One chain makes the strudels in the shop windows so you can see how they are made.
The Galytskiy Strudel restaurant is on Saksaganskogo st 18. 
And a couple of doors down there's Lvivski Plyatski http://www.pliacky.lviv.ua (shop front shown above) on Saksaganskogo St, 22. 
So you could try savoury on one and sweet in the other.
Do you know of any other strudel locations in Kyiv?

Addicted to You (2002)  Ukrainian Pie   KYIV DESTINATION: Pie shops If you stand by St Sophia's cathedral in the upper city, you will notice a pink tower in a nearby street.  This is the 19th century fire station watch tower. Diagonally opposite the forestation is a restaurant called Штолле - or Stolle  http://stolle.com.ua/en/ .   This chain specialises in Ukrainian pies (Pirog). Pie is a very complex affair in Ukraine with a variety of vegetarian, meat, fish and fruit centres. Pie is a meal in itself. The fillings combine vegetables and meat and flavours. 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 c...

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 econ...
