- Come join us as we sample Chicken Kiev (котлета по-київськи) and a host of other Ukrainian food dishes at Pervak restaurant in Kyiv, Ukraine. Chicken Kiev (котлета по-киевски), a stuffed chicken breast was definitely the star of the meal but we also got to try eating Salo (сало) pork fat and Ukrainian vodka (горілка) as well for the first time.

Here is our complete food list from our dinner in Kiev, Ukraine:
1) Ukrainian dry red wine and Vodka (Horilka - горілка)
2) Complimentary bread with pork fat (salo - сало) and butter
3) Ukrainian pickled herring (маринована оселедець)
4) Ukrainian potato pancakes (Deruny - Деруни)

Chicken Kiev (котлета по-київськи) - Eating Ukrainian Food in Kyiv, Ukraine travel food video transcript:
Alright Mister Foodie it is time for dinner. When in Kiev there is one dish you have to get for sure that being Chicken Kiev (котлета по-київськи). Oh yeah. So we've ordered this and we've ordered a whole bunch of other different things and we're just waiting for it to come. And it is always that exciting moment because I'm hungry.
Yes, so the complimentary appetizer is basically brown bread and it comes with pork fat (salo - сало) and pickle. Alright. Pork fat and pickle. A one-biter.
Alright, so I too am kick-starting the evening with some Ukrainian vodka (Horilka - горілка).
So I thought this was butter but no this is a salty cheese and then I thought this was butter but no apparently it is pork fat (salo - сало) with like garlic and some chives.
The wine has arrived. The wine. The cool thing about this wine is that it is a Ukrainian wine. It is a dry red and I'm really excited to try this because I did get to try an Odessa dry red at a wine bar the other night.
Nice salty herring (маринована оселедець). Wow. That is a really smooth fish.
For something that is pickled it is surprisingly juicy too.
I ordered some potato pancakes (Deruny - Деруни). Yeah. Fried potato pancakes (Deruny - Деруни). We're going to add a little bit of sour cream there.
So the main has arrived. This is what you came here for. The star of the meal. Yeah. Yeah. Chicken Kiev (котлета по-київськи).
This is basically breaded chicken and inside sometimes it can be stuffed. Every restaurant has a different way of preparing it. Stuffed with some goodness. It looks buttery. Yeah, it usually has like butter inside.
Trying my first Chicken Kiev (котлета по-киевски) in Kyiv (Киев). Haha.
First Chicken Kiev (котлета по-київськи) in Kiev (Київ).
Dessert has arrived. We arrived. We ordered Varenyky (Вареники) which are these little dumplings and we got two kinds. So I know we ordered the cherry kind and the other one is kind of a surprise.
Well, it is time for price point. That was 560 in the local currency what is just under $22 US dollars at the moment. Really good value. $11 per person. We feasted. It was really good.
That was just an awesome Ukrainian meal (українські страви). We've been really enjoying Ukrainian food (українська кухня) here in Kiev (Київ) and we are leaving tomorrow so it is a little bit sad. So this is our officially our last dinner here in Kyiv (Киев).
This is part of our Travel in Ukraine video series showcasing Ukrainian food (українська кухня), Ukrainian culture and Ukrainian cuisine (українські страви).

Vodka - in Russia. Gorilka - in Ukraine
Sorry! Our mistake.
Dyakuyu Neskorennuj!!
That was actually самогон - moonshine. Gorilka is clear.
Don't be so sorry ;)
Нескорений, Neither vodka nor "gorilka" but rather Horilka : with the root word of it being [ horil ] meaning to burn.
"Gorilka" is the way Russians say it.
I like you guys for your love of Ukrainian culture and food. You made very nice video!
Thank you very much! We sure enjoyed it :)
Welcome to Ukraine :)
Thank you very much!
OMG! every time i come to Ukraine i put on pause that i am a vegetarian )))
I'm from Peru living now in New York but spent several years in Kiev (University). I love your videos!!
Thank you very much! You're very well traveled.
Приємно дивитись як іноземці так смакують нашу українську кухню.Ще багато смачних страв маємо)))Дякую за такий позитив)))
Thank you for visiting my country! You are very cool and interesting !;) I really like watching your channel;)
please do not stop on Kiev, visit Lviv, Chernivtsi, Kamenets-Podolsky;)
Thank you very much! Ah, hope we can do that and Odessa as well. We did get to visit Lviv and really enjoyed it. Our next few videos will be about our time in Lviv.
Such a cool couple! Thanks for sharing your videos from Ukraine. Love them ❤
Thank you very much! It has been a really fun series for us to make :)
What a discovery: a great video! I like your style - no shouting, no exaggerated acting, calm. Subscribed!
Ah thank you very much!
Very nice video! Especially I value the long and informative description which could fill several pages of a guide book :-)
Thank you! We try to write detailed descriptions when we have time.
Thanks for this inspiring video of the lovely food in Kiev! That restaurant looked so cozy and the food so delicious! Nice to see Canadians eating and enjoying Heerings! We are now really keen to visit Kiev, we are pretty sure that they will have some lovely markets there around Christmas time too! Enjoy your next destination and Happy Travels to you both. Best Regards from Maxi and Maro.
Thank you very much Maxi and Maro :) We'd highly recommend visiting Kiev. We've had a great time there.
Awesome video! That restaurant looks amazing and the food has me tantalised! Thanks for uploading this!
Thanks David! We so miss the food in Ukraine.
I love how you just enjoy your food Audrey! ❤️
Thank you! We sure love to eat ;)
A glorious meal. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you! I wish we could share.
ох
приятные ребята, приятная еда, приятный город
что еще нужно?
If you're interested in Ukrainian cuisine you really should visit Lviv and, maybe, Odessa (night in train in any direction). There are many original places of interest at these cities, and Kiev residents themselves often travel to Lviv on weekends. :)
Thank you! Great suggestion. We're heading to Lviv next :)
I know this restaurant. It is near my former employer. I highly recommend this place. Welcome to Kiew and enjoy staying there ☺️
Thanks! That is cool to hear. Great spot to eat :)
Oh the food looks so delicious
Thank you for sharing this great video.
Thank you! I wish we found this place earlier.
Wow..
Thanks!
You are amazing guys ❤️
Ah, thank you!
Love your videos, that food looks delicious
Thank you! It was super tasty.
Mmmmmmmm, every bit of that meal looked good. I was savouring each mouthful with you. I raise a glass of our own local dry red wine, "Salut."
Thank you! Salut! If only we could share.
Hola! Niiice looking food. Chicken Kiev is great, I like everything with garlic/herb butter :P.
Your description box says: Here is the complete food list. And then there are 6 empty phrases :D
Sorry about that! We didn't finish it. Working on that now.
This channel is getting better with every video u should colab with other youtubers who travel so we can see other people on the channel and you guys deserve 1 million subs
Thank you very much! We'd love to do some collabs soon.
I'm very glad that you liked it!
Thanks! We sure did :)
I love all your videos!,
Thank you very much!
I love pickled herring :)
It is so good! :)
that food looks so good
Thank you! It was a really good meal and service is great there.
Подивився відео і захотів самогону з салом і огірочком))
Oh LA LA that looked Delicious 😋. 👀 📸 👍 👍 👍 👍 📸
Hahaha...thank you! It sure was :)
I love your videos
Thank you very much!
It's very interesting video and funny guys . may God bless you .
Thank you!
It’s awesome 👏
Thank you very much We loved it!
Loved watching your videos and we´re going to Ukraine June 18th to spend 11 days holiday in Kiev and Odessa. We´ll deffo visit some of the places from your videos. After all we´re throwing ourselves into unknown territory
Thank you! Hope you have a great trip :)
Спасибо вам ребята что вы оценили!
I have ate at this resturant in past, people should try the vareniki with cherries and cream, absolutely superb!
Oh, thanks for sharing that!
Thank you - I feel as if I'm there :)
Thank you very much Richard!
We love that restaurant. Our go to place when we have visitors.
Oh, that is awesome to hear. Great place!
Hey guys, what I like about your clips is that you got the Canadian vibe (i.e., being easy going, polite, not too aggressive or showy or feeling entitled); the reason I say this is coz I lived in Toronto for over nine years and for the last 17 yrs I am back in Tehran :)
Thank you very much! We sure appreciate being able to do this and just love to travel and eat. A dream trip for us would be to visit Iran someday. Do you have any recommendations for a first time visit?
Honestly, I am not a foodie but for some strange reason I love food related CZcams clips and food shows; that said for now I don't recommend you to come here coz although it's 100% safe, after all I have been back for the last 17 yrs and gone back to Canada for more than 5 times for a visit; the reason I say this is coz there are no diplomatic ties between Iran and Canada at the moment; on top of it, you can surely get a visa but you gotta go/be on a guided tour (i.e., some governmental official will be with you at all times); as someone who watches CZcams more than 20hrs a week :) I guess I have too much time on my hand, I would recommend you both, should you have the time or money PLEASE cover some countries in Africa or South American, coz they are truly underrepresented on YouTude in terms of food, they are even barely covered by well-known food/travel CZcamsrs like Mark Wiens or the guy from "Simply Dumpling".......I wish you both all the best and have a fabulous summer
.
Omg the selodka looks bomb
We enjoyed it.
Sour cream is like god of all souses in UA. You can it with anything: dumplings, salads, borch, pancakes, you can mix it with any jam, honey. You can add some oil and salt to get healthy equivalent of mayonnaise. And of course you can have cake "Smetannik" for desert.
Lecker 👌🏻😋ich liebe Kiew
Can't help but chuckle. At 6:58, Audrey says, ''and a glass of wine, what else do you need''. Pause it at 7:00 whilst Audrey looks at her glass and in the background on the tv screen it say's ''I want to vomit''. I love little gifts from the universe like that :D.
LOL, that is hilarious.
MMMMmmmmmmmm Ukrainian food. MMMMMMMmmmmmmm. Yummy. My mom is Ukrainian and some of my fondest memories as a child is her cooking. MMMMMmmmmmmmm
Cool to hear! Nothing like home-cooked meals from Mom :)
Nice video. A couple of advises from a Ukrainian, if I may. 1. Drinking wine after vodka may bring headache the morning after, 2. Mixing herring and wine can lead to misdigestion :)
Thank you! Those are great food/drink combining tips :)
FOOD AND PRICE IS TREMENDOUS, WISH I COULD HAVE A SAMPLE TO RELISH.
Thank you! I wish we could share.
Food in Ukraine is great. Love it! Been there many times. This time no wine, just vodka, it's better solution. I mean it! Wine with hering is disgusting!!!
The food in Ukraine is amazing! We sure miss it.
WINE looks ultimate ...Vodhka Dear too...
Thank you! We enjoyed both very much.
Hi guys! At the beginning of the video, it's not vodka, it's horilka or pervak. Cheers :)
Oh, thanks for letting us know. Our mistake.
good
Thanks Sankar!
Very nice goodlock to you
Thank you!
LOL. I got the bread and pork fat appetizer when in Poland. Had to work past my own inhibitions, but not bad. I'm looking to go to Kiev in a few months.
Oh, that is cool to hear! Wishing you the best on your trip :)
Food looks so delicious! Super! The cuisine should be out there in Ukraine just fine!
love you ukraina from gruzia
Great to hear!
BTW, the potato pancakes look good
Thank you! Those were some personal favorites.
u so cute couple with love from cyprus
в 3 утра смотрю. напился слюной . нельзя такие видео смотреть ночью .
🤗
Thanks!
Thank you so much for wonderful video! You are amazing!
By the way my heart was shuttered when you cut cherry varenyk, all that delicious juice was lost... Next time just bite it, so you can have the whole experience;)
Love it!! I love travelling and didn't know much about Ukraine so I found your videos really interesting! :) I'm suppose to travel to Ukraine in June for work! Looking forward to it! :)
Thank you very much! That is exciting to hear.
My business trip to Kyiv is approaching fast! :)). I was wondering if you noticed if in restaurants they use pasteurized milk? And if the fresh fruit juices are safe? And lastly tap water? I see conflicting information about it online.. I won’t drink it but can I brush my teeth with it? And eat fruits washed with it? Sorry for all the ?? I was really sick in the Dominican Republic once and have been a little paranoid since! Haha!! Thank you and keep up the good work!! Can’t wait for your Granada vidéo! :)
Sour cream is very similar to Colombian "suero", maybe the diference is that sour takes more elaboration after prime material is done but I hope it tastes the same when I travel to Ukranie. With that I'll only be missing "patacones" "tajadas de maduro y verde" and "fritos" to feel just like home. Also some warm weather and a beach.
Wow what’s crazy is that you liked all the foods! When I gave my friends Ukrainian dumplings aka pelmeni they HATED IT LOL
Thanks Yana! We really enjoyed them!
How could anyone hate dumplings?!?
If u r still in Kiev go to kievska perepichka, it’s left of the tsum(цум) at kreschatyk
Первак))
15 лет назад,было достойное заведение)
Сейчас не знаю...
.
One of the best restaurants in Kiev
Totally agree Audreu!
It's Kyiv actually
I am hungry :)))
Wish we could share.
gorilka!!!
:)
Actually, it is Horilka not "gorilka" ,(unless you're Russsian that cannot pronounce Ukrainian sound [ Г ].
I am surprised that when you two were in the German and Austrian alps, you didn’t have pork fat (schmaltz) with different kinds of herbs. It always comes with the basket of breads. I even had it on a Polish restaurant in Brooklyn. It sounds unappetizing but actually it tastes very good. Schmaltz was easier to produce in the alps then butter.
Ah, wish we had of tried that!
actually, varenyki with solt cheese is much more tasty than with sweet cheese. Who loves sweet taste can add some jam or huney or something else.
sounds great
Fantastic video, guys ! What is the name of this restaurant and where is it located ? Thanks.

Спокійно дівчина так можна не у їхати,
Можна буде котитися до дому.)))
.
обережно . бо при перекладі можуть не вірно зрозуміти вираз "котитися до дому"
fat-is salo?ok) but "fat" and "salo" and "bekon" and "smalets" is different things,smalets like butter but spread on bread made of salo,salo is served in slices made of pig,and the bacon is in composition closer to the subtree"pidcherevok" but with a large percentage of meat and is not served in such thin pieces.it's so difficult to explain, I imagine how difficult it is to look for these products on the market and explain it
Should Make a Restaurant on International Cuisine Audrey!..And Have Sam do All the Food Tasting 🤣😑
That would be awesome! Hahaha
Coming to Kiev tommmrow may go to this restaurant if I didn't miss the name .. hopefully the pancakes aren't to greasy and the Kiev isn't too garlicky ...now to find me a fire. Maiden Audrey ski to share it with 😎
Thank you! Hope you have a great time in Kiev. The full address is in the description box :)
Thank you very much for sharing all of that great information!
Just went to mammamia pizza 👌
Never drink vodka in the way you did! It was too slow, you should do it in one fell swoop :)
Hahaha...yeah, it is not a drink to be sipped.
True, true, and after that you have to toss the glass on the floor and immediately eat "salo" with a pickled cucumber and black bread :))
dont u never ever again use fork to have a "Chicken Kyiv". next time just take it in yr hand and make a big juicy bite.
Ah, good idea!
Verdammt, sieht alles so lecker aus. Jetzt bin ich beim Überlegen ob ich Ticket in die Ukraine besorgen soll.
Sicher, wenn Covid vorbei ist.
can u do a fitness routine....?u both r in shape after having soo much food .....how?😞🙏😘😘
We eat lightly in between meals ;)
There are very few obese people in ukraine, ukrainian cuisine is balanced
I think the more appropriate name is pork lard, not pork fat. Either way it's not as bad as some make it sound. It's actually quite delicious especially when there are layers of meat (kinda like bacon)
Yeah, it is tasty for sure! You call is Salo?
Samuel and Audrey - Travel and Food Videos
Yea it's called salo in Ukrainian
Their few different cuts of Salo ( pork fat/ pork belly or pork lard as you said....its all means the same....fat from the belly part of the pig). Their is Salo cut with just fat and skin part, then with half fat and half meat (yep, like bacon ). My favorite was with half fat and half meat fried with potatoes or eggs.
Pork fat: we have that in Germany, too! It is called "Schmalzbrot" or "Schmalzstulle"
Ah, we've never tried it in Germany. How do you typically eat it?
As fingerfood, often offered in some old typical pubs in Berlin
Gerd Papenburg Schmalz we call smalez' ))
Actually its not the same. We have schmalz too. U know, a flour is not a bread.
💗🖤💗🖤💗🖤
Вареники з вишнями потрібно їсти з рідким медом
Вдячний за пораду. Спробую це наступного разу.
Теж сміявся коли вони вареники з ягодами їли зі сметаною =)
сало треба їсти з черним хлібом))лол
100%,+ добавити до цього сала ще цибульки:))
хліб треба намазувати на сало!!
Anyone know how to get to moldova from Kiev theres no official site and it takes more than a day
Jay Williams bus
Not sure if train from Kiev to Moldova. I took overnight train to Odessa (2nd class sleeper was only about $9 200-250 grivnas). Spent a few days in Odessa, then there is a train few days a week and a few Mashuka's everyday. Know one will speak English and you will likely go thru Transnistria. But I had no problems. You won't get a stamp in your passport. Get a Migration card, then they take it back when you exit around Bendry. When you cross into real Moldova, if they don't give you a card, then you must to to Migration office in cishinau to get one. I had no problems and went back later in the week to look around. Daily train and multiple Marshukas daily from Cishinau to Trisapol. Busses go to train station. Important to stop at migration window in station to get migration card, which will allow you 10 hours in Transistria. Then stop at exchange window. No credit cards excepted anywhere and no ATMs. You must chance US dollars or Euros for Transistrian rubles. Just don't get to much, can't exchange back anywhere out side of the country. But hey, you'll want to keep a few plastic tokens. Have fun. Be careful. (Technically is US citizen state department advises against going there. As they are not recognized the US has no diplomatic relations)
Would love to visit Kiev in the Ukraine looks so nice unlike some other European countries like France is a no no for me.
ThatBaileyLad
Hey same here ;) I've always been drawn more towards countries belonging to the former Soviet bloc, basically European countries off the beaten path for most people in my country. I've visited Poland (twice), Ukraine, the Czech Republic, Hungary & I'll be visiting Russia at the end of the year. For some reason France hasn't really been at the top of my bucket list. I've visited the UK (England & Scotland), Switzerland & Finland before as well, sure they are nice countries to visit but I do prefer exotic European countries that have preserved more of their own distinct culture and uniqueness, rather than the global metropolis, big cities like Paris or London where it is a medley of people from all around the world.
I'll definitely visit Ukraine again in the future, as I've only been to Kyiv the last time. The other cities like Lviv, Odesa and the Carpathian Mountains are definitely still quite high on my bucket list
Thats exactly what i was thinking been paris back in 2014 and i can tell ya i didn't like it lol and yes countries with more traditions is a good thing
We'd highly recommend visiting. Plenty to see and do and you don't have the crowds of tourists like other big cities in Europe.
That is really cool to hear! We're excited to explore more in Eastern Europe as well.
Bailey20, If you do go to Ukraine, remember that the term "the Ukraine" apart from being grammatically incorrect is also offensive for Ukrainians, for Ukraine is no longer a Russian colony.
Українські субтитри 🤣👍
Bacon drippings.
Thanks for letting us know.
Приїзжайте в Закарпаття вот там кулінарія на вищому уровні.
I like that the girl takes big bites. It is more like pork belly (salo) than pork fat (poor translation on a waitress part).
Thank you! Ah, we forgot to call it Salo. Our mistake.
Nop, its correct translation. Pork belly is pork fat....daaaaaaa
Pork fat could be a lard too. Also pork belly sounds so much better and used in gastronomy . I would say a salt cured pork belly.
Super Video💖Super Kyiv
Thank you very much!
Anyone know any good national parks in eastern Europe
Carpathian National Nature Park looks really good.

Thanks Serge! Hope you can revisit again soon.
:-)

Вино с селёдкой?
The background music/noise is drowning your sound :-(
Thanks for letting us know! The band started playing and it got loud ;)
Where is food better, in Ukraine or in Poland?
We tried more things in Ukraine than in Poland including Georgian food so I would say we ate even better in Ukraine than in Poland but we've never had dumplings (pierogi) better than in Poland I must say.
это капец , конечно, титры с переводом))))
Я спочатку увімкнув. Почитав і зрозумів, що мені все таки англійською зрозуміліше і вимкнув))
guys, are you still around?)
In Ukraine? Not anymore but we're traveling around the Balkans now.
Why is your CZcams channel name written in Japanese?
長谷川緑 I see it on Russian.
We had our channel translated a few months ago to many different languages. The name and description :)
