Ukraine is known for our delicious and hearty food. Most dishes are cooked very fast and easy. The grains grow well here and that is why there is a lot of porridge and flour goods in our national cuisine. Ukrainians grow plenty of vegetables and legumes, and there are lots of meat dishes in Ukrainian cuisine as well. Dry, mild spices are widely used for the national dishes. The Ukrainian cuisine is very diverse, having been influenced by the cuisine of nearby countries Poland, Belarus, and Hungary. It is also influenced by Central European cuisine as well.
We Ukrainians are very hospitable people. We love to invite guests into our homes and they always enjoy our customary well-set tables and delicious home cooked food.
If you desire to experience dining in our beautiful city, you will find many amazing restaurants serving yummy organic healthy food. Some of my friends are vegan, others are meat-eaters. So please come to Kiev because this is going to be fun!
