When I first started traveling to the Ukraine I was sure I was going to die from starvation. I had spent a lot of time in the Southern United States and was accustomed to deep fried everything and portions that a pack of wolves could survive on for weeks.
The Ukraine was quite different. The portions were small (the first time they brought my plate out I thought it was a joke and was glad I brought a 2 lb bag of M&M’s from the states).
What I learned is Ukraine food is prepared from scratch, after you order it and comes in healthy portions and beautiful presentations. Ukraine meals our served in several servings i.e. appetizer, meal, soup, salad, dessert, coffee etc. and the servings are not thrust on you in a hurried rush like in the states. As a result you feel quite full on much smaller portions. I have never left a restaurant feeling hungry and despite eating out daily never put on any weight when I’m in the Ukraine. (Unlike in the USA where I’m constantly struggling with my weight).
Restaurants in the Ukraine are the countries greatest secret. They are plentiful despite not having the landscape dotted with fast food restaurants like in the states. (Although, McDonalds has found its way into almost every major city with great popularity).
In Zaporojie you will find a different restaurant for everyones taste. My favorite’s are the restaurants on the island (any taxi driver can get you there) or the Park Ave Restaurant because of its extensive outdoor seating. But for romance you cant beat the riverside restaurant and the fine wine offered there.
The below restaurant is located in Zaporojie and has a reputation of being where the wealthy local men come to meet young women wanting to climb the social ladder
Outdoor seating of the same restaurant
This restaurant is one of my favorites. It keeps late hours and is always full of people wanting to sit and chat. It is easy to make new friends at this restaurant and the food is excellent. The only draw back is the single bathroom at this restaurant. (Which is not unusual in the Ukraine just inconvenient for state side bladders:-)
Same Restaurant as above just a different shot/angle
This restaurant sits right on the river in Zap. It is well known and your lady will be very impressed with your knowledge and culinary skills if you take her there. Because the tables are right next to the river it requires a reservation. This restaurant will require your translator to call ahead and book your table 24-72 hours in advance.
But the view is breath taking and if going in June or July I promise this will be one of the most memorable culinary experiences of your life.
This restaurant below sits out on the Island. I’m pasting three pictures so you get a feel for the outdoor atmosphere. It is great fun and you will love it. However, depending on the time of the year the “bugs’ can be a nuisance so this should not be a restaurant you take your lady to on your first date.
I didn’t realize how many pictures I had of great restaurants in Zaporojie. There is also a great restaurant inside the government hotel in Melitopol. I’ll follow up with a second post as to the restaurant on the river that I’m recommending for romanctic fiancee proposals and more pictures on some of the restaurants on the Island.
Another thing you should consider if your K-1 Fiancee Visa is declined is a local Ukraine marriage on the Island at Zaporojie. It can make for a beautiful traditional wedding and even provides the wedding party a great outdoor celebration arena.
