Firstly, it has to remind of the “Aeneas” legendary café, that used to function near The Writer’s House and, during a long period of time, was one of the centers of intellectual life of the city. So “Aeneas” café aims to become a space for open communication, educational and art events, another platform for discussing the exhibition while drinking coffee and eating tasty snacks.

Secondly “Aeneas” café refers to the text of Eneïda by Ivan Kotliarevsky, Ukrainian writer, poet and playwright, social activist, regarded as the pioneer of modern Ukrainian literature. The colorful descriptions of feasts are a great source of knowledge about Ukrainian history, culture and gastronomy. Among the mentioned dishes there are dumplings, kulish, tetrya, potaptsi, zubtsi, saltwort, soup with hlyaks and many others.
