Located near Maidan, this café is filled with the delicious aroma of food. Owners of Юniсть, young entrepreneurs from Odesa, certainly brought the city’s spirit to Kyiv: it can be felt in the décor like a paddle on the wall, marine-styled paintings and famous Odesa humor reflected in the menu. The initial idea was to open a mono-restaurant, which serves only shrimps, but in the end Юniсть has a broad menu and much more to offer.

The café serves several types of shrimps: tiger, Argentine and the Black Sea shrimps, which can be served ‘beheaded’ or ‘with head on’ depending on the visitor’s taste. Another step in picking the dish is the way of cooking — shrimps can be grilled or prepared in wok, with a whole assortment of additional flavors to enhance the taste: tomatoes and lemon for those who prefer more traditional Mediterranean serving, as well as garlic, chili, ginger for those who want more spice. By the way, Asian cuisine found its place in Юniсть' menu, as the chef has been mastering it in various Kyiv fine dining spots for more than ten years.
