The Ukrainian Village Restaurant
Located on Denman in Vancouver The Ukrainian Village Restaurant offers all the typical Ukrainian dishes and crams a a whole whack load of trinkets and photographs to set a Ukrainian feel to the small restaurant.
Admittedly this is my first time trying Ukrainian hence the creation of this blog. Sure I’ve had things like perogies and cabbage rolls but on the menu was a wide selection of other dishes I’ve never tried. So my meal of choice for this visit was Chicken Paprika ($14.95) and Ukrainian Borsch ($5.25). The Borsch was pretty good, and a fair size for the price. As for the Chicken Paprika it was served on a large dish with four pieces of chicken and four dumplings. The chicken was cooked perfectly and fell off the bone nice and easily, the paprika sauce flooded the plate and provided a nice flavor to the meal.
One thing to note is the perogies are hand made and come in many varieties. The sausages were pretty good however I was in a large group and some had to wait a bit as they microwave the sausages to re-heat them. So knowing that I was kinda happy I didn’t ask for a sausage.
Maybe there isn’t a selection of Ukrainian style desserts out there but The Ukrainian Village Restaurant offers a limited selection, aka two options, ice cream or cake which was disappointing to say the least.
Overall, The Ukrainian Village Restaurant was a very welcoming start to Ukrainian food which I hope to have one day soon. The food was very well prepared aside from the sausages and the staff were welcoming.
