When I first visited Dykanâka korchma (tavern) I remembered it as one of the best Ukrainian cuisine restaurants in Poltava. But it didnât impress me too much on my return visit; maybe because of the wrong time we happened to get there. When we barged in, the ground floor (non-smoking) looked like a âdating spotâ of aged foreigners and young non-English-speaking local girls, sitting here and there. Their communication via âmatronâ-interpreters made us feel totally out of place at this marriage market. And on the upper level (smoking) there was a banquet dancing to low-grade âprison chansonâ; too loud and well heard even on the ground floor. The food remains fine, but not the best I ever tried. Grilled assorted meat [âpekelâna shtuchkaâ] was not really melting as wasnât the Grilled veal with vegetables, but both tasted well to a bunch of hungry road-travellers. The veal sauce could have been less oily for my liking. I didnât fancy the way they cooked Dranyky [Potato pancakes] â very thin, overdone and crispy; I prefer thicker and juicier ones. But my dining companions found them as well as Potato varenyky delicious. And of course, we tried famous Poltava Galushkaâs [kind of dumplings or varenyky], ordering those with liver. Iâm not a big fan of varenyky, but was curious how they cook them in Poltava. Galushkaâs were served in the pot, and turned out bigger than expected and tasted as pies rather than dumplings. But this is the case when you need to try something even if you donât like it â to know what the local specialty is. The servings were quite generous. The waiting staff was fair and more or less attentive. We were brought English menus instead of Ukrainian; blame the dating event for this, but at least I learnt English menus are available. The waitress has been very open in telling for which meals the fresh meat was taken and for which the frozen one; all her recommendations were very appropriate. Note that 10% service charge will be added to your bill automatically. Also, those sitting on the upper floor summer terrace, where the live music plays at night, will be charged UAH 8 (USD1) per person âfor the musicâ (even if you didnât enjoy it). Parking is on the street, right behind the trolleybus stop. Not the best restaurant in Poltava, but quite ok to try Ukrainian food. Itâs not centrally located, but is in a short drive from downtown.

The view from the upstairs terrace is amazing and the décor is extravagant. The service was fantastic and very classy. I'm not a huge fan of Ukranian food but this restaurant is definately worth a try and will change your mind about local food.

Another delicious restaurant like that of Pan Asian/TAU! I've tried the shrimp salad along with the sea bass too! Locals generally can't really go there because of the expensive price, however, you can find almost always Americans or other foreigners there dining. The bar looks quite fancy too, with so many different kinds of alcohols to choose from, it is nice.
