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 can try little pies, or Pirozhki. And there's a chain of cafes for that too. Aunty Klara's https://www.facebook.com/tetyaklara/ is a modern, funky and economical cafe bakery chain. Again there are pies that are both savoury and sweet - costing about 10 Euros cents each. Aunty Klara's also sells coffees, salads and cake.
What's your favourite pie?

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
