Most POPULAR Ukrainian Foods - EPIC Multicourse FEAST in Kyiv (Kiev)

Come join me for this EPIC Ukrainian multicourse meal at the authentic restaurant O'Panas in Kyiv (Kiev). O'Panas is a great restaurant to try and sample the Ukrainian cuisine. The most popular and traditional Ukrainian foods are probably borscht, varenyky and deruny. These dishes is what you should eat in Ukraine. And for your information, Ukrainian food is relatively inexpensive.

Borscht is one of the most, if not the most, established dish of the Ukrainian cuisine. The soup is served warm and the red color derives from beetroot which is one of the main ingredients among sautéed vegetables and potatoes. Borscht is garnished with dill and sour cream and comes sometimes with chunks of meat. Side dishes includes fluffy buns named pampushky.

Varenyky, or Ukrainian dumplings, are another national dish. These dumplings are served as main course and dessert and therefore come with a range of different fillings, for example meat, potatoes, vegetables, fruits etcetera. You can get it throughout the year both as a everyday meal or at celebrations. Savory or sweet, Ukrainian dumplings can't go wrong. And by the way, the sour cream is important!

Deruny are the classic potato pancakes. These pancakes consist of grated potatoes and it's popular to add eggs and onion. The batter is then fried to small pancakes. Ukrainians love their sour cream, so don't forget to garnish these cute pancakes for the ultimate Ukrainian food experience.

Kyiv is underrated and probably one of the best cities to visit in Europe. The capital of Ukraine should be on par with Rome, Paris and London. Kyiv is a beautiful destination high on interest, but in comparison to those mentioned; non touristy. Adding friendly people, delicious food, grand architecture, great weather, inexpensive... If you ever plan to visit Europe, then Kyiv should be on your list.

Kyiv exceeded my expectations big time. I rank the capital city of Ukraine as my favorite destination on my recent Eurotrip.
