Kumanets

Reviewed By Christo1040

The restaurant has a typical Ukrainian atmosphere. The location is very good near the main street. Good variety of local dishes, especially starters. Every thing I ordered was tasty. The only problem i had was with the Sashlik - the meat was not fresh. Prices are acceptable like everywhere in Odessa.

Bernardazzi

The only restaurant in Ukraine to achieve six times in a row "Best of Award of Excellence" award from Wine Spectator Magazine. More than 1200 different wine labels from all over the world. Live music - every day (during the dinner). Fresh market products delivered daily are used to cook the perfectly matched dishes for your wine choice. We try to provide the best service in town, listening carefully to your wishes. The philharmonic building itself where our restaurant is situated is one of the most beautiful monuments of architecture in town. The inner yard for our green summer Terrace is a piece of art. You would never believe that you are in Odessa. Italy, Spain?

Steakhouse. Meat & Wine

Reviewed By AndersUA - Odessa, Ukraine

Steakhouse is one of the best restaurants in Odessa so it’s difficult to find some flaws. This time everything was great but filet mignon- it was very hard on top so almost impossible to cut. It was some disappointment. Inside it was ok.
Service is excellent as usual

Dacha

Reviewed By CriticP - Orpington

A group of 6 of us visited this restaurant for dinner. We tried several different local sourced starters and I had flounder as my main course. We also tried some local red wine and had a bottle of local white sparkling wine. The food was very tasty and the staff very helpful. The atmosphere was warm an the surroundings very interesting. There was a pianist playing background music and a singer with guitar moving around the tables singing local songs. The restaurant had been converted from an actual dacha with the names of original rooms such as bathroom. This room has an actual bath with water contains floating ducks as well as eating tables. The cost was around £25 per head but well worth it for a genuine local food restaurant. We would return to this restaurant.

Kompot

Reviewed By xryLviv - Lviv

This 'Kompot' is close to train station, so if you have an evening train to catch - this is your place to have a decent meal and wait for your train. I personally do not get the hype around Kompot, to me it is an upgraded version of Puzata khata fast food -- more expensive, better quality food and friendly staff. Large servings, decent coffe and good desserts.

Took a while for it to turn up but the pizza was thin crust and decent. We had beers too and sat on the Terrace on a decent evening so a nice enough place to eat.

The Chef blends local favorites, Mediterranean classics, and own original creation for an exciting and satisfying menu.
The stand outs were:
Pate combo, seafood salad, Kiev Cutlett, Raviolis, Borscht with the fixings, Pike caviar (for serious sushi lovers), Odessa appetizer combo. All Deserts were superb and home made. Standouts: Napoleon and Shu.
Service is professional, attentive, flawless. Prices are on the expensive side for the locals, but more than reasonable for European and North American tourists.

Grand Prix

Cosy located in the very heart of Old Odessa in the historical building dated 1825, GRAN PRIX has firmly established itself as a favorite neighborhood French restaurant, serving carefully sourced, well cooked seasonal dishes, along with a great wine list and warm attentive service.

Reviewed By AndersUA - Odessa, Ukraine

Very nice inside, with new decors and updated menu. Shrimp and avocado salad still great (while avocado could be not that cold - straight from the fridge). Service is a bit awkward (some new staff), need better training

We had the smoked salmon, steak tartar, goat cheese salad, mushroom and Parmesan risotto and seafood pasta. Everything was excellent and the service timely and superb. Situated on a pedestrian mall so sitting outside was even more pleasurable. Also very tastefully decorated.
