Прикольное место. Маловат выбор пива. Кухня на 4ку. В принципе, если они его задумывали как городской ресторан, то очень даже неплохо. Просто зайти покушать очень даже можно.

Inconspicuous from the street but they had amusing design. Order on a bar, wait a few minutes and your have your dish. I recommend "Poltavski galushki" that's really delicious.

Dykan'ka

Traditionally-styled tavern with quite decent Ukrainian cuisine. Two levels, the lower one non-smoking area. The upper one is often given to banquets; this is where live music is played at night. 10pct service charge is added to the bill; UAH 8 (1USD) per

When I first visited Dykan’ka korchma (tavern) I remembered it as one of the best Ukrainian cuisine restaurants in Poltava. But it didn’t 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 “dating spot” of aged foreigners and young non-English-speaking local girls, sitting here and there. Their communication via “matron”-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 “prison chanson”; too loud and well heard even on the ground floor. The food remains fine, but not the best I ever tried. Grilled assorted meat [“pekel’na shtuchka”] was not really melting as wasn’t 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 didn’t fancy the way they cooked Dranyky [Potato pancakes] – 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 Galushka’s [kind of dumplings or varenyky], ordering those with liver. I’m not a big fan of varenyky, but was curious how they cook them in Poltava. Galushka’s 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 don’t like it – 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 “for the music” (even if you didn’t 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. It’s 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.

Nice bar to have something to eat, the offer tacos and burritos since it's technically a Mexican cafe, but quality wise not the freshest ones that you had. It's ok, I only had a few shots of vodka and called it a day without any moxitos.

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.

Nice restaurant, you can choose separate cottage where you have private atmosphere with your friends. Dishes are Ukrainian, quite tasty. I could say so called "Domashnaja kuchna" (home kitchen). Disadvantage is that they close at 11:00 p.m., so If you want to stay out longer, you must move to another restaurant or club. Drinks are good except of wines, since they have very poor choice of wines. Prices are very friendly.
