"The new Ukrainian cuisine. Kanapa is not just an Ukrainian restaurant. Kanapa is located in a legendary part of the town – Andriyivskyy Descent, in a wooden building of the nineteenth century. The restaurant's salon has an avant-garde style. The idea of Kanapa is to reflect a feeling of sheik vintage. Like good wine, it was developed by the restaurateur Dima Borisov and the musician Oleg Skrypka. The menu comprises of a modern interpretation of pre-revolutionary recipes from different regions, sometimes combined with elements of molecular gastronomy. Make sure you find the secret yard!" - Sekretniy Dvorik

Kanapa Restaurant is a fantastic spot right on Andriivsky Descent, perfect for a traditional Ukrainian lunch. The food is made with love, and the borscht—served in a cabbage head—is a real highlight. The atmosphere is cozy with a touch of vintage charm, making it a great place to relax and enjoy an authentic meal. I’ll definitely be back!

The food was absolutely delicious, with a modern twist on traditional Ukrainian cuisine. Their Borscht was a standout, unlike any Borscht I've tasted before. We enjoyed the Tartar so much that we ended up ordering a second round. The black vareniki were a delightful treat and so is the duck with cherry sauce. For dessert, we had the Napoleon cake, which was surprisingly good with the addition of apples. The restaurant also offers great cocktails. We loved our time at Kanapa and will definitely be coming back again!

Had the tasters menu + oysters. Really good choice - warmly recommended! The tasters is a very nice assortment that exposes you to a variety of Ukrainian dishes and customs. And the place looks good too. Priced affordable relative to western Europe.

Actually good. We tried Kiev chicken and grilled beef, some tomato salad and herring... Bill came at nearly 1000 hrn, so probably not super affordable, but... Location is nice, the place itself is very nice, service is good, and the bill itself felt kind of reasonable, not shocking, as sometimes is the case here... If you have tourist guests and need to take them to a place with good Ukrainian food, this one might be it. I would probably like more simple Ukrainian dishes on the menu, like the chicken Kiev was, but overall good.

It’s an amazing restaurant with delicious food and incredible service. Their tableware looks very cool, the interior is also pretty interesting. They offer typical Ukrainian food, and I can definitely recommend to visit this restaurant - all dishes I tried were very tasty. This place is located in the main touristic area and it’s very often full (almost every evening), so it’s better to make a reservation in advance. They accept payments by card.

My favourite restaurant in Kiev! I went here twice, and both times the meal was incredible and the service was so accommodating, nice and attentive. Can highly recommend the root salad (it doesn't sound like much but it is incredible and the cheese topping makes for a smoky show), and cherry dumplings for dessert!

Superb food with great playfulness (try the edible candles). Service is great with staff speaking good English. Live music increases the atmosphere in the already beautiful place, but if you want to talk, get a table in the charming side room. Costs more than most places in town, but well worth it.

A little disappointed. Bread eas stale, potato pancake was like a hashbrown, but loved the borsch in the cabbage
