Soups

Ukrainian borscht

Traditional borscht with meat.
We cook according to a classic Ukrainian recipe.

Borscht is the most famous and one of the tastiest Ukrainian dishes. There are more than 20 types of borscht, and every Ukrainian housewife has her own recipe. The consumption of liquid hot dishes has been peculiar to Ukrainians since ancient times. We prefer boiling and stewing products. Such food is simple, easily digestible, and contains the maximum amount of vitamins, useful elements, and substances. Classic borscht is prepared with beets, as well as cabbage, potatoes, and meat (for example, chicken or ribs). Thanks to beets it has a sweet taste and a rich red or burgundy color. Borscht is very healthy due to the huge amount of vegetables. It is especially tasty with sour cream, and pampushki - small fluffy buns. Along with borscht, we highly recommend ordering one of the classic Ukrainian main dishes, e.g vareniki (Ukrainian dumplings) or mlintsi (pancakes).

Bograch soup

Favorite dish of Transcarpathia.
Soup with beef, bell peppers, tomatoes, and aromatic spices

Very tasty bograch is a pleasure from the first drop in the mouth 😉 The soup has a very rich taste thanks to the meat broth. At the same time, the juicy bell pepper gives it a sweetness that is diluted by the sourness of the tomato. The name comes from the Hungarian word "bogrács", i.e. "cauldron". The recipe of the dish was born many centuries ago in the field kitchen because nomadic tribes prepared this soup. Today, this is an incredibly popular dish in Transcarpathia - the western region of Ukraine, located near the Carpathian Mountains. Bograch is ideal in combination with delicate potato slices or vareniki (Ukrainian dumplings).
