Right at the entrance all the guests will emerge into real atmosphere of authentic Ukrainian trade fair. This setting is inspired by «Sorochynskyy Yarmarok» («Sorochynskyy Fair»), the Ukrainian literature classics story by N. Gogol portraying rich and interesting trade fairs traditions in Ukrainian culture.
‘Ulichnaya Eda’ invited leading artisan food and drinks brands, indie manufacturers and popular local farmers to present a variety of cheeses, honey, dairy goods, meats, drinks, liqueurs and digestifs.
