Barsuk

Kyiv


Tucked away in a small lane opposite Pechersky market, the Badger set several trends when it opened in 2010 – namely, gastropub, organic food and open-view kitchen. Renowned local chef Dima Borisov has since done bigger and better things (including Ostannya Barikada), but his flagship remains a top pick in Pechersk, especially for lunch.
