After landing in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, I immediately set out on my first Ukrainian food adventure! Join me as I try exotic modern Ukrainian food, including bees, before exploring the Old Town of Kyiv, Ukraine!
My adventure began on a cold and sunny morning with my guide Margarita from Tours by Locals. We began our tour at the Golden Gate of Kyiv, a medieval city gate from the 11th century!
This gate was the main entrance to Kyiv! We also then went down to visit Zoloti Vorota Station, a beautiful ex-Soviet subway station that dates back to 1989!
There are lots of gorgeous mosaics and pillars, and even pretty chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. Each mosaic is different!
We then went back outside and saw a statue of Yaroslav I the Wise, one of the Grand Princes of Kiev. He built the city gate and fortified the city.
Then, we drove through the historical center of Kyiv, which reminded me of old towns I’d seen in Poland and Hungary. There were lots of colorful mid-rise buildings!
We arrived at Sto Rokiv Tomu Vpered Timeless Ukrainian Cuisine, where I met the head chef, Ievgen. After coffee, we went to their dining room, where Ievgen had several dishes for us.
The first dish was made of fermented barley with pig fat and cranberry on top. I’d never had anything like it! It was sour, creamy, and sweet!
Next was a fermented bread drink called kvass and a fermented beet kvass that reminded me of kombucha.
I followed that with a roasted parsnip with smetana, a dairy product made by souring heavy cream. The dish was sweet, and he added some spices as well.
Our next dish was an exotic one that included crunchy edible bees. Then, I dug into some banush, which is similar to polenta. It contained mushrooms and magnolia and mountain cheese.
I followed the banush with chomber na dyko, or beef loin with herring and carrot puree. It was like a salty surf-and-turf.
Next was vereshaka, which is pork ribs with wild oregano and a bread-thickened kvass sauce; a dumpling called galushi; a creamy baked gnocchi; and zucchini with shrimp sauce!
Then, I tried his borshch, some tiny sprouts with black currant, and extra virgin sunflower oil!
Next, Ievgen served me some hamula, which is a baked apple cake with cheese and chocolate. You eat it with a fork with a bit of lavender oil in a hole engraved in it!
It was so good, and the scent of the lavender with it was an amazing combination. I’d never seen anything like it in my life! Then, I finished with some super spicy dehydrated tulip!
Next, Margarita and I left and saw the bricks marking the boundary of Old Kiev Hill and a display of old relics under some Plexiglas!
At the top of Old Kiev Hill, where we got epic views over the city, the Dnieper River, and the ruins of the first church in Kyiv.
The church dates back to the 10th century and was destroyed in the 15th century. Then, we visited St. Andrew’s Church, a colorful Christian Orthodox church!
Two minutes away is St. Michael’s Square, where you’ll find the Cathedral of St. Sophia and the Cathedral of St. Michael. They were built in the 11th and 12th centuries.
Outside is a mural of St. Michael, angels, and kings. The cathedral is gorgeous. The blue color represents heaven. Inside are lots of gorgeous paintings. Orthodox churches are always smaller than Christian or Catholic ones, and there are no statues inside.
Then, we headed over to one of the oldest funiculars in Europe. One car travels down the hill, while the other travels up. We took it down to the lower part of Kyiv to end our adventure!

I focus a great deal on food and historical sites, as you probably have seen! I love to experience the different flavors that each destination has to offer, from casual street food to gourmet restaurant dining. I’m also passionate about learning about the local history and culture.

Борщ густіше за суп. Це різні страви! Ви ж не називаєте юшку бульйоном?

So entertaining! Chef: Legend*******
Good morning David: I am watching the Ukraine series now. There are so many different series on right now so I am trying to see if I can follow this one in order. Ukraine is an absolutely beautiful country. All the buildings and the history of Kyiv make for very interesting content. Your host was very knowledgeable and very nice and friendly. Inside the subway was so huge and with all that history behind it was amazing. I laughed all through the meeting with the chef. He was so funny and all his affects were hilarious. I loved the way he explained the different foods you were going to eat. I can't believe you actually ate the bees. And now the reality and sadness of what is going on today with Putin's war is utterly devastating. Such a beautiful country being destroyed daily. Let's continue to pray for Ukraine and hope that all of this will end soon..🕊️🙏🇹🇹🇨🇦
Wasn't this the episode from the other day?

This guy is YOUR chef...obviously, you met your match...dts/usa
Im here from the rogaine video
jesus chirst that incorrect guide 28:14 "russian land" - not russian land but RUS land. Ukraine is a Rus land, and russian federation is trying to stole out history while they are moscovits, from moscovia kingdom which was a part of Golden Horde.
Absolutely agree
Come to Namma bengaluru brother..
How u guys ever eaten new grown bambo
Insects! Wow You never fail to entertain.
I'm confused why are you reuploading this video David? I saw this video Monday!?
We messed up on the map and I didn’t want to start the series off on the wrong foot. Don’t worry I drop the next tomorrow and next the following day.
He messed up the map in his previous series too so now he's trying to be extra careful.
ist zwar lustig aber keiner isst sowas :D
pelmeni, wareniki, borsh, soljanka, selonij borsh, okroshka, 4ebureki, diverse hühnersuppen, makaroni po flotski. und viel mehr

Hummm... esta comida com insetos não me impressionou nada. Pelo contrario, achei nojento.
Ну не їж. Хоча ця їжа досить звичайна
