Odessa cuisine reflects Ukrainian food traditions, but was hardly influenced by other traditional cuisines, such as Greek, Jewish, Mediterranean, Bulgarian, Georgian and others. Whether you prefer to try something local or prefer to stick to European meals you're used to, you'll always find a restaurant to your taste. However, there are certain dishes which are definitely worth trying. БОРЩ (borsch) |
ВАРЕНИКИ (va-re-nee-kee)
Boiled dough pockets with a variety of stuffing. Traditional vareniki are filled with potato, cabbage or cheese and are served with sour-cream or butter. Sweet version of the meal is filled with cherries and is served with honey.
ГОЛУБЦЫ (ho-loo-btsy)
Traditional Ukrainian cabbage rolls, filled with rice and beef. Served with onions, carrots, dill and sour-cream.
СОЛЯНКА (sa-lya-nka)
A very thick and heavy, but really tasty soup, containing different types of meat and sausage, as well as pickled cucumbers, olives and lemon. Tastes a bit sour, but nice, and usually is big enough to satisfy your hunger.
ШАШЛЫК (sha-shleek)
Originally Georgian, this meal is basically just pieces meat on a skewer, barbequed on an open fire. Cooked of beef, veal, pork, chicken or fish, as well as vegetables. Sounds simple, but tastes great!
Ukrainians are very friendly people and they love to have dinner parties. If you are invited to someone's house you are likely to be in for a treat. Just be warned some of their tastes may seem slightly strange to a foreign palette - as this video shows.
