Musafir

Top choice in Kyiv


One of Bakhchysaray's best restaurants, Musafir relocated to Kyiv in May 2015. The unmistakable scent of Crimean cooking wafts from the kitchen, where a plov (pilaf) master conjures a magic stew in the kazan (traditional wrought-iron bowl). Apart from the usual Tatar dishes, they make excellent yantyk (pie-like pastry) and Turkish coffee.

The latter is served with lumps of sugar that you are expected to put straight in your mouth, rather than in your cup.
