A new meat & grill restaurant opened this January in Ivano Frankivsk. Like many other venues opened by Dima Borisov, Churrasco Grill has a fixed price system. In this case, customers can order unlimited meat dishes, appetizers and dips for UAH 269.

The guest is served a set of snacks (hummus, a pâté, a black beans cream, marinated brynza cheese, curry cauliflower, pickles, fried mushrooms), a variety of sauces and freshly baked bread. Every 8 minutes each table receives various kinds of meat dishes: marinated paprika beef, lamb kebab, pork neck and BBQ ribs, chicken thighs and honey wings and spicy sausages.

The peculiarity of the restaurant is that the guest says when it's time to stop serving the dishes - so beware.

Bilyi Nalyv now in Odesa

The famous Bilyi Nalyv that caused an uproar in Kyiv with its 1-euro price list opened this winter in Odesa. The new venue is located in the historical building on 12, Katerynynska street. Since the beginning of the 20th century, the first floor of the building had hosted various cafes, restaurants and a theater.

The menu traditionally includes classic and vegetarian hot dogs, apple and chicken pies, as well as fresh oysters with lemon. The beverages are represented by 3 positions, all based on apples: cider, punch, and traditional Ukrainian homemade liquor nastoyanka.

Winter cocktail set in Check-in bar in Kyiv

The entrance to this bar is hidden behind the secret door of one of the closets near Chicken Kyiv restaurant checkroom. The cocktail menu is full of special Kyiv-themed cocktails: for instance, Gorodetskiy, Kyiv Spring, Khreschatyk, 1991 and Olimpiyskiy. Each of the drinks has unusual ingredients – for example, Khreschatyk cocktail includes chestnut cream, a homage to the symbol of Kyiv.

For winter 2019 season, Check-in bar added the new winter cocktails menu with four new drinks. Purple Grog is based on Thai tea that soothes the nerves and Spanish Leyenda Medium Dry with grape sweetness and oak notes. Lemon and honey balance out the two key ingredients. Tiramisu is a dessert in a cocktail form - made from delicious coffee, nut liqueur Frangelico and Amaretto and Tullamore Dew whiskey. The cherry on top, in this case, is vanilla foam with mascarpone.

Passion Spirits cocktail is a cry for tropical flavors - passion fruit, orange, white rum Bacardi Carta Blanca and sparkling wine. Finally, Hard Grog is 'a non-stop party', as Dima Borisov Gastro Family website suggests. The cocktail is based on Bacardi 8 Años rum and Finlandia Blackcurrant vodka. It is mixed with homemade currant syrup, black pepper and black tea with lemon.

Any cocktail from the special menu costs UAH 98.
