A starter, main course and beer for less than €10??Yes, it’s very possible in Kyiv, but also possible for it to be full of flavor, and well presented in a relaxed and friendly environment.Very Well is in an area with lots of nice places, but if they are as good as this they will be doing well. Recommend without hesitation.

Reviewed By Terinator

Five of us ate here after noting the steak selection, including steaks from Kansas City, USA. We started with excellent borscht, some steak tartar prepared at the table, followed by a variety of fantastic beef from both the Ukraine and USA. Note the USA beef is expensive but that is expected - I had a Ukrainian chateaubriand that was *superb*. We had a variety of delicious sides and three bottles of wine, and some had dessert, followed by a few vodka shots. Not cheap, but we weren't there to save money, and the meal was out of this world. My vote for the best restaurant in Kiev... though admittedly I only ate at three!

This place was on my list to visit for a while. Finally I found a good reason to come here. The place looked really comfortable and had a very relaxing atmosphere. A lot of people there came to either enjoy a conversations with a friend or for a business meeting. I wasnt very hungry, so I ordered their soup and coffee. The food was good. I really enjoyed my short stay there and I want to come back for more.
