Klyukva i Bryukva

Kyiv


Foodies will love this farm-to-table restaurant for its seasonal menu and locally sourced ingredients. Classic dishes are incorporated with different but complementary tastes, like sweet and salty, hence the name, 'Cranberry and Rutabaga'. Lounge in the overstuffed chairs and admire paintings from local artists.

Artwork is rotated regularly with a gallery-opening-type party. Check their Facebook page (Klukva&Brukva) for dates.
