My adventures in southwestern Ukraine continued in the city of Mukachevo! Join me as I take you to have medieval Ukrainian mountain food of Transcarpathia and check out the attractions in Mukachevo, Ukraine!
My evening began with my guide Diana from Tours by Locals in the beautiful Transcarpathia Region of Ukraine, which is right on the border with Slovakia and Hungary.
???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH: https://teespring.com/stores/davids-been-here
Our first stop was Palanok Castle, also known as Mukachevo Castle. It’s located atop a volcanic hill and has 3 parts: the low, middle, and high castle
It costs 50 hryvnia, or just $2 USD to enter the castle. It started off as a small wooden structure in the 9th century. The following century, the area belonged to Hungarian tribes. The castle reminded me of ones I’d visited in Germany.
In the Historic Exhibition are metal, stone, and clay items excavated by archaeologists. I could see arrows and tools used for farming, as well as locks, jewelry, and more.
Then, I visited the souvenir shop, where you can buy decorative plates, beads, shot glasses, a medieval gauntlet, mugs, magnets, and more.
From the castle, we drove two minutes to the city center. There are lots of coffeehouses, monuments, a promenade, a church, and the city hall there.
The promenade is lined with coffee shops, restaurants, and vendors. We saw the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Martin before heading to Poryadniy Gazda, a restaurant near the castle whose name translates to “a decent host.”
The restaurant is a big complex. Inside, I tried a crunchy, freshly baked cheese waffle. I could also see sausages in a case and lots of cheeses! In the dining area, we had a VIP table. It felt like we were in a giant tent because of the cloth draped across the ceiling. Along the walls are shelves full of jars of pickles!
I started with some coffee cream beer and some of their homemade vodka. The berry vodka tasted a bit nutty, and the manager invited me into the kitchen, and then we checked out the brewery inside the restaurant!
In the on-site brewery makes 6 types of unfiltered beer. Their 4% blonde ale had a wheat-like flavor and super cloudy. The lager was nice and crisp, and their golden ale was fruity and creamy! Their Witbier was so creamy and light.
Then the owner and brewmaster, Michael, gave me an apron and let me pour my own Coffee Cream Beer from the tank for dinner.
At my table, I had bohrach (a pork rib stew with carrots and potatoes with pickles and chili flakes on the side. We also had Transcarpathian pork sausages, bacon, baked potatoes, and fried onions.
The bohrach was so meaty, tasty, and fatty! The ribs fell right off the bone. Then, I added the chili flakes for some added heat. It was such a hearty winter soup!
The sausages were super juicy and thin, and so tasty. Next was blood sausage containing a bit of rice, which was very soft and fell apart! The pork belly had a glazy sauce on it, and the smoky sausage was also really nice!
The baked potatoes with cheese were also really nice, as was the buttered toast. Then, I tried a cheese platter with jam! Meanwhile, the cream ale was very creamy and a fantastic dark unfiltered beer!
From there, Diana, Michael, and I headed down into the cellar, which was freezing. They had lots of jars of pickles and a six-year-old bottle of beer. It’s exclusive and was made for a beer festival.
It was like a delicious brown ale. What an incredible day. Michael is such a character and so fun and hospitable. You have to meet this guy when you visit Mukachevo!
