Medieval Ukrainian MOUNTAIN FOOD - Exploring Transcarpathia + Attractions | Mukachevo, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
????????‍♀️ DIANA:

My adventures in southwestern Ukraine continued in the city of Mukachevo! Join me as I take you to have medieval Ukrainian mountain food of Transcarpathia and check out the attractions in Mukachevo, Ukraine!

My evening began with my guide Diana from Tours by Locals in the beautiful Transcarpathia Region of Ukraine, which is right on the border with Slovakia and Hungary.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Our first stop was Palanok Castle, also known as Mukachevo Castle. It’s located atop a volcanic hill and has 3 parts: the low, middle, and high castle

It costs 50 hryvnia, or just $2 USD to enter the castle. It started off as a small wooden structure in the 9th century. The following century, the area belonged to Hungarian tribes. The castle reminded me of ones I’d visited in Germany.

In the Historic Exhibition are metal, stone, and clay items excavated by archaeologists. I could see arrows and tools used for farming, as well as locks, jewelry, and more.

Then, I visited the souvenir shop, where you can buy decorative plates, beads, shot glasses, a medieval gauntlet, mugs, magnets, and more.

From the castle, we drove two minutes to the city center. There are lots of coffeehouses, monuments, a promenade, a church, and the city hall there.

The promenade is lined with coffee shops, restaurants, and vendors. We saw the Roman Catholic Cathedral of St. Martin before heading to Poryadniy Gazda, a restaurant near the castle whose name translates to “a decent host.”

The restaurant is a big complex. Inside, I tried a crunchy, freshly baked cheese waffle. I could also see sausages in a case and lots of cheeses! In the dining area, we had a VIP table. It felt like we were in a giant tent because of the cloth draped across the ceiling. Along the walls are shelves full of jars of pickles!

I started with some coffee cream beer and some of their homemade vodka. The berry vodka tasted a bit nutty, and the manager invited me into the kitchen, and then we checked out the brewery inside the restaurant!

In the on-site brewery makes 6 types of unfiltered beer. Their 4% blonde ale had a wheat-like flavor and super cloudy. The lager was nice and crisp, and their golden ale was fruity and creamy! Their Witbier was so creamy and light.

Then the owner and brewmaster, Michael, gave me an apron and let me pour my own Coffee Cream Beer from the tank for dinner.

At my table, I had bohrach (a pork rib stew with carrots and potatoes with pickles and chili flakes on the side. We also had Transcarpathian pork sausages, bacon, baked potatoes, and fried onions.

The bohrach was so meaty, tasty, and fatty! The ribs fell right off the bone. Then, I added the chili flakes for some added heat. It was such a hearty winter soup!

The sausages were super juicy and thin, and so tasty. Next was blood sausage containing a bit of rice, which was very soft and fell apart! The pork belly had a glazy sauce on it, and the smoky sausage was also really nice!

The baked potatoes with cheese were also really nice, as was the buttered toast. Then, I tried a cheese platter with jam! Meanwhile, the cream ale was very creamy and a fantastic dark unfiltered beer!

From there, Diana, Michael, and I headed down into the cellar, which was freezing. They had lots of jars of pickles and a six-year-old bottle of beer. It’s exclusive and was made for a beer festival.

It was like a delicious brown ale. What an incredible day. Michael is such a character and so fun and hospitable. You have to meet this guy when you visit Mukachevo!

Ukrainian STREET FOOD YOU MUST TRY in Kyiv, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
???????? MARGARITA:
???? VARVAR BREW:

With my time in Kyiv, Ukraine coming to a close, I decided to explore more of the city, including its street food scene! Join me as I show you the Ukrainian street food you must try in Kyiv, Ukraine!

My guide Margarita from Tours by Locals and I started our final adventure together at the Motherland Monument, one of the most epic landmarks in all of Kyiv.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

It was built back during the Soviet era. To get there you have to pass under the Bridge of Fame. Underneath in a representation of Soviet pride and courage, with lots of statues and carvings of soldiers and civilians.

On the other side of the tunnel beneath the bridge is the monument itself, which is made of stainless steel and downright massive! It’s one of the most stable statues in the world and has an observation deck at the very top, but it was closed when I visited due to the lockdown.

In front of it are three tanks and a small park featuring the Ukrainian flag. There’s a mini-museum with tanks, planes, amphibious “ducks”, cannons, and other vehicles used in World War II and other wars.

Then, we came across a group of women in traditional dress who sang us a song in the middle of the street! They’re a band of singers, and the oldest is 86 years old!

Next, we hopped in the car and drove back through the city on our way to find a Kyiv Hot Dog at Kyivska Perepichka. It’s like a hot dog inside some golden fried bread. It looks like a corn dog. It cost 25 hryvnia, or just under $1 and is super oily!

I decided to eat it on the street. It looks like a pastel or an empanada! The fried dough is really nice and the hot dog is super tasty.

We asked for some mustard because I always need mustard with my hot dogs. The mustard was spicy and super tasty! It was really filling, too.

Next, we headed to the biggest brewery in Ukraine, Varvar. Along the way, I got a Ukraine soccer jersey. It’s located along the left bank of the Dnieper River. It took a long time to get there because there was lots of traffic.

We drove past lots of Soviet-style buildings containing typical project-style housing from that era. Then, we arrived at the brewery!

There, Sasha, one of the brewers, took us inside. We put on some protective gear to see their two-barrel system. They produce 7-8 tons of beer per day and make dozens of beers!

They get their own water from underground. Further on are the fermentation tanks. Then, we saw the distribution, canning, bottling system, storage area, and refrigerator!

Next, it was time to try some beef from a fermentation tank! Their Blanche Witbier was light and creamy, while their dry stout was dark and chocolatey but not too heavy. Their Imperial Stout was very strong and 11% alcohol. I loved it!

Next door is their bar, Lisopylka House Craft Beer. It’s an amazing, outdoor bar with a fire pit and a covered section. There, I had an Oriental Ale, a Double IPA, and a Strong Ale, along with some pork ribs and fries.

The Oriental Ale was very unique and floral, while the Double IPA was thick and not very hoppy. The Strong Ale was very strong.

We also had some chicken wings. The ribs were so tender, fatty, and smoky with sweet caramelized onions on top. They’re some of my favorite pork ribs ever!

The chicken wings had a sweet and spicy sauce on them. This was basically elevated bar food and was delicious!

Modern UKRAINIAN FOOD with SUPERSTAR CHEF!! Exploring Kyiv Attractions | Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
???? MARGARITA:
????????‍???? IEVGEN:


After landing in the capital of Ukraine, Kyiv, I immediately set out on my first Ukrainian food adventure! Join me as I try exotic modern Ukrainian food, including bees, before exploring the Old Town of Kyiv, Ukraine!

My adventure began on a cold and sunny morning with my guide Margarita from Tours by Locals. We began our tour at the Golden Gate of Kyiv, a medieval city gate from the 11th century!

This gate was the main entrance to Kyiv! We also then went down to visit Zoloti Vorota Station, a beautiful ex-Soviet subway station that dates back to 1989!

There are lots of gorgeous mosaics and pillars, and even pretty chandeliers hanging from the ceilings. Each mosaic is different!

We then went back outside and saw a statue of Yaroslav I the Wise, one of the Grand Princes of Kiev. He built the city gate and fortified the city.

Then, we drove through the historical center of Kyiv, which reminded me of old towns I’d seen in Poland and Hungary. There were lots of colorful mid-rise buildings!

We arrived at Sto Rokiv Tomu Vpered Timeless Ukrainian Cuisine, where I met the head chef, Ievgen. After coffee, we went to their dining room, where Ievgen had several dishes for us.

The first dish was made of fermented barley with pig fat and cranberry on top. I’d never had anything like it! It was sour, creamy, and sweet!

Next was a fermented bread drink called kvass and a fermented beet kvass that reminded me of kombucha.

I followed that with a roasted parsnip with smetana, a dairy product made by souring heavy cream. The dish was sweet, and he added some spices as well.

Our next dish was an exotic one that included crunchy edible bees. Then, I dug into some banush, which is similar to polenta. It contained mushrooms and magnolia and mountain cheese.

I followed the banush with chomber na dyko, or beef loin with herring and carrot puree. It was like a salty surf-and-turf.

Next was vereshaka, which is pork ribs with wild oregano and a bread-thickened kvass sauce; a dumpling called galushi; a creamy baked gnocchi; and zucchini with shrimp sauce!

Then, I tried his borshch, some tiny sprouts with black currant, and extra virgin sunflower oil!

Next, Ievgen served me some hamula, which is a baked apple cake with cheese and chocolate. You eat it with a fork with a bit of lavender oil in a hole engraved in it!

It was so good, and the scent of the lavender with it was an amazing combination. I’d never seen anything like it in my life! Then, I finished with some super spicy dehydrated tulip!

Next, Margarita and I left and saw the bricks marking the boundary of Old Kiev Hill and a display of old relics under some Plexiglas!

At the top of Old Kiev Hill, where we got epic views over the city, the Dnieper River, and the ruins of the first church in Kyiv.

The church dates back to the 10th century and was destroyed in the 15th century. Then, we visited St. Andrew’s Church, a colorful Christian Orthodox church!

Two minutes away is St. Michael’s Square, where you’ll find the Cathedral of St. Sophia and the Cathedral of St. Michael. They were built in the 11th and 12th centuries.

Outside is a mural of St. Michael, angels, and kings. The cathedral is gorgeous. The blue color represents heaven. Inside are lots of gorgeous paintings. Orthodox churches are always smaller than Christian or Catholic ones, and there are no statues inside.

Then, we headed over to one of the oldest funiculars in Europe. One car travels down the hill, while the other travels up. We took it down to the lower part of Kyiv to end our adventure!

Ukrainian FISH FARM Experience - Fishing Golden Trout + Attractions | Korostiv, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
????????‍♀️ DIANA:

After two incredible days exploring the city of Lviv, I headed south from the city for some unforgettable adventures in and around the Carpathian Mountains! Come with me on my Ukrainian fish farm experience and explore the attractions in Korostiv, Ukraine!

My guide Diana from Tours by Locals began our day in Lviv. On our three-hour drive down to the Transcarpathia Region, we’d make a few stops, including an 11th-century monastery and a fish farm!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Our first stop was an old, wooden bridge that links two villages across a river from one another. It had been painted blue and yellow.

We hopped back in the car and drove to the fortress, which sits atop a massive stone cliff. Nearby is Tustan, where you can find vendors selling craft goods, tea, jam, coffee, and more. Admission is 65 hryvnia/roughly $3 USD.

We followed a wooden plank path through a forested area to a set of wooden stairs heading up the monolith. At the top is the former site of Tustan Fortress, an 11th-century wooden fortress that burned down.

The views there are beautiful! The rock formations and forests are gorgeous. There’s also a nearby museum and an archaeological site.

Back at the base is a woman who sells baked goods. For 30 hryvnia/$1 USD, I got a poppyseed bun. Poppyseeds are very popular in the local cuisine. It was almost like a cinnamon bun!

Next, we saw a woman grilling potato kebabs at the craft area, as well as some liqueurs. I loved her cherry liqueur and honey liqueur before driving to Kamianka Waterfall.

The waterfall, nature, and beautiful weather made for a super peaceful experience! They say if you wash your face in the icy water, you’ll stay young forever.

Nearby is an artisanal street with about 7 vendors selling kebabs, tea, jams, and fish. They had some rainbow trout and a drink that contains a venomous snake!

One of the women let me try some pine nut jam and some smoked coffee! While I waited for the coffee, I tried some honey vodka, cherry vodka, earthy root vodka, herb vodka, and a delicious pickle.

Next was Kvass, a non-alcoholic drink made from bread, and the smoky coffee!

Ten minutes later, we arrived at Zolota Forel, or Golden Trout Restaurant. I got to feed and catch some fish. It took me seven tries to catch one! Then, it was time to eat.

There, we started with caviar, smoked trout, marinated trout, pickled veggies, fish pate with toast, and some drinks. The caviar was unbelievable, like little gushers in my mouth. We enjoyed it with some fruity, dry white wine.

Next was the trout tartar, which was delicious and fishy. But I couldn’t stop eating the caviar straight from the bowl! The marinated trout was tougher but had a creamy texture.

The smoked trout had some bones but was extremely flavorful with a nice, smooth texture. I suggest going in with your hands to separate the bones from the meat. It was incredible, but the tartar and the caviar were my favorites.

The fish pate was crazy good as well. We also had some cloudy, fermented kvass and pickled vegetables. The pickled plums were sweet and sour, and the peppers were very hot!

Next was Ukha, a type of trout soup with potatoes and carrots. There was no salt, pepper, or marination, but it was still hot and flavorful! We followed that with grilled trout and baked trout. The waiters pull out the spinal column for you.

I loved the smoky, barbecued flavor of the grilled trout. It was amazing with lemon. The baked trout with pine nuts was more tender!

The beautiful city of Berehove, Transcarpathian region

Transcarpathian FOOD in UKRAINE WINE CAPITAL - Snails and Wine | Berehove, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
????????‍♀️ DIANA:

My time in western Ukraine continued in one of its most beautiful regions, Transcarpathia, near the Polish, Hungarian, and Slovakian borders. Come with me as I take you to experience authentic Transcarpathian food in Berehove, Ukraine!

My day began with my friend and guide Diana from Tours by Locals at Chateau Chizay in the wine capital of Transcarpathia, Berehove. We were right on the Hungarian border, and Chateau Chizay is the best winery in the area.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Inside, I met everyone and saw the gift shop, where they sell 25 types of wine, including kosher wines, pinot blanc, cabernet sauvignon, pinot noir, and many others. They also have a big, old-school barrel that used to be used to press the grapes. It’s now used for leaving tips!

Next, we saw the Chateau Chizay Museum, where you can learn about the history of the wine-making practices in the region. I loved the giant barrels!

The museum was one large room where you can learn about the wine-making process and the region’s history of wine-making.

Then, we headed to the wine tasting room for a Premium tasting, which includes cheese, crackers, chocolates, and nuts, and 8 different wines.

We started with a dry, white 2020 Chersegi. It was clean and easy to drink and not too fruity. Next was a dry rose called Sakura Transcarpatia. It was very young and pink and had a strong, fruity, strawberry flavor.

The dry red cabernet came from their best wine year ever and was smooth and bold. It would be great with a big steak! We followed that with a semi-sweet white called Moscato Ottonel, which I loved. It was so good!

Their semi-sweet red blend was dry and fruity but also easy to drink. Next was pinot grigio with lime and mint, which was semi-sweet. It’s the first wine they ever exported to the U.S. It had such a unique flavor!

The Troyanda dessert rose is served in a small glass and smelled like port and cognac. I loved it so much! It costs only $15 and took me back to my time in Portugal! Their grape white blend was also excellent! I loved the flavor of the indigenous grapes!

Then, we drove 5 minutes through the historical center of Berehove to Chizay Mala Hora, which looked like another chateau with vineyards behind it.

In the kitchen, I saw the snails, which are frozen and stuffed with butter and baked. They also made some stews, mushroom soup, beetroot salads, and more. They put so much love into the food!

Back at our table, we started with the snails from the vineyard. They were amazing with the garlic butter. I followed it with a beetroot salad with pork, cabbage, and greens. I loved the honey-mustard dressing.

Next was the mushroom soup, which was so creamy. The entire Transcarpathia region is famous for its mushrooms. The soup was earthy and oily and would be the perfect hangover cure! It contained more mushrooms than cream!

Next was the turkey and white mushroom sauce with mashed potatoes and some pinot noir. It felt like a Thanksgiving dish! The turkey was so fresh and the mashed potatoes were nice and creamy. It was a nice, heavy dish and one of my favorite dishes of my trip so far. The pinot noir was light, dry, fruity, and not too sweet.

Next was deruny, a type of potato pancake with sour cream, avocado, arugula, and trout. It was thick, creamy, fatty, and so fresh! Everything was phenomenal! Then, I finished with some espresso. I loved this restaurant!

Ukrainian WORLD WAR II Restaurants Experience!! Medieval Building Tour | Lviv, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
????????‍♀️ DIANA:

My incredible time in the city of Lviv in western Ukraine continued with a one-of-a-kind medieval building tour! Come with me as I hit up three awesome spots in one building, including a mind-blowing Ukrainian World War II restaurant!

My friend and guide Diana from Tours by Locals and I started our afternoon at the former Venetian Consulate in Rynok Square. It’s called the Holding of Emotion Complex and is home to three businesses: Kryivka Restaurant, Freemason’s Lodge, and Pretty High Kitchen.

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

You have to know a special password to get into Kryivka, which is said to be the most-visited restaurant in Europe! Exploring the entire building is a super unique experience!

After saying the password back to the guard and passing the “test,” you enter Kryivka,
a bunker-style World War II restaurant. It’s part restaurant, part museum!

There are also lots of guns on the walls, a cell for captured Russians, several small dining halls, and a bar. At the bar, Diana and I enjoyed some horseradish horilka and cranberry horilka. The cranberry was easy to drink, but the horseradish was scary strong!

Then, we headed to the bunker where the nationalists lived and stored their weapons. There’s also a gift shop where you can buy war-themed souvenirs!

Then, we headed up to the Freemason’s Lodge. To get inside, you must go through a Soviet-style bachelor’s apartment and be approved to go through.

Inside is lots of Freemasons imagery. They have Colonist wine there, which is roughly 250 hryvnia/$10 USD. There are more pictures of 19th-century Ukrainian Freemasons and a unique BMW from the 1920s!

The bathroom is plastered in money and even has money under the toilet! The menu prices are 10 times higher than anywhere else.

We tried some Cabernet Grande Reserve wine and enjoyed the amazing view of the city. It was delicious and felt like a Bordeaux. Then, we headed up to Pretty High Kitchen for lunch!

Pretty High Kitchen is large and spacious, with high ceilings and even vinyl records. There’s no menu, so the chef comes and asks what you like and offers suggestions based on that.

I went with a James Bond Martini and Diana got the Violet Spritzer. My grandmother loved martinis and drank one with two olives every day. She lived to be 97!

Then, my pulled pork and Diana’s sea bass arrived. My pulled pork contained blue cabbage, cheese from the Carpathian Mountains, and greens. Pork is very common and affordable in Ukraine.

It reminded me of Texas barbecue and was so moist and juicy! The fresh ingredients were phenomenal.

The creaminess of the cheese, moist pork, and crunchy beetroot were incredible. I tried a bit of Diana’s sea bass with arugula, blue cabbage, and tomatoes. It was so tasty and flavorful

Each dish costs roughly 300 hryvnia/$12 USD each. It’s one of the best restaurants in the city. You have to taste the food here for yourself! The cinnamon in the glazy, marinated blue cabbage was unreal!

Then, it was time to go! Before we left, though, we visited the rooftop terrace. The tables were surrounded by plastic tents.

Ukrainian SEAFOOD on the BLACK SEA - Exploring Odessa Attractions | Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:

With the cities of Kyiv and Lviv, and the Transcarpathian Region in my rearview mirror, I set off to the final city on my epic trip through Ukraine, Odessa. Come with me as I enjoy some delicious Ukrainian seafood on the Black Sea and explore the attractions in Odessa, Ukraine!

Odessa is a beautiful city on Ukraine’s Black Sea Coast. It was founded in ancient times by the Greeks!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

My day in Odessa began with my guide Natasha from Tours by Locals in Square de Richelieu. There are tons of beautiful historical buildings there, as well as the 192 Potomkin Steps.

Our next stop was Shustov Cognac Museum.Inside, they have 23,000 bottles on the ceiling. Included in the entry fee is a cognac tasting. They also have a gift shop!

On your tour, you can learn about the history of Shustoff, from its founding in 1863 to the present day. In 2012, it was awarded the title best cognac produced in Europe.

From there, we headed down to the cellar, which was filled with 500 massive oak barrels, each of which contains 10 tons of cognac. The smell coming from the barrels was making me drunk!

Their oldest barrel in this room dates back to 1949. It’s all being held until it’s 75 years old so they can sell it as a 75-year-old cognac.

In the Room of Paradise are jugs of cognac. The oldest barrel in eastern Europe is there as well, as well as the biggest. They have a pipe system that connects the barrels to the bottling system.

Next, we headed down to the catacombs to try their Pirates and their Treasures. It’s 35 years old and is very good, unique, and the smell is phenomenal. Next, I got to see the tools used to make a barrel. Next was the Quintessence, which is 50 years old. It was delicious!

Next, we saw an old tram, the evolution of their bottles, and photos of rich 19th-20th century aristocrats who only drank Shustov cognac. They have a bottle from 1898 that costs 100,000 Euros.

Then, you can watch a 20-minute documentary in their theater. Next was their 70-year-old Exclusive. It’s not part of their tour, so I was one of the few people outside the company who has ever tried it!

Next was an art gallery featuring Ukrainian artists and photographers. Then, they took me to a room where you sign your name on the wall.

Then, we arrived at Dacha Restaurant, a summer house built in the 1850s. It’s beautiful and expansive. The chef, Sasha, showed me how to make Vorschmack, a raw fish spread eaten on rye bread.

He also made an appetizer made from local cheese and some giant tomatoes.

The Vorschmack was creamy and briny fish salad. I loved it with the pumpernickel rye bread. The onions and creaminess were fantastic.

Next were New Potatoes and Sardines. The sardines were salty and went well with the tiny potatoes. Then, I had the the juicy tomatoes and spongy mozzarella appetizer with herbal basil.

Then, I tried the Chicken “Neck,” which is basically a stuffed chicken with breading inside. It was like a delicious stuffed cutlet!

We followed that with Rugelach, or Rogalik, which are small croissants stuffed with jam. They were sugary and fluffy.

I jumped back on more of the sardines. I couldn’t get enough of them. I love fish, so there was no way I was letting them go to waste!

After that, I tried Nalysnyky, a folded crepe stuffed with cottage cream and topped with powdered sugar. I loved how hot and fluffy it was!

Then, we headed to a small house on the grounds where they showed us how they make Rugelach and tiny vareniki.

Cossack Food in TRADITIONAL Ukrainian House + Private Winery Tour | Odessa, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
???? ALEJANDRO:

My adventures in the seaside city of Odessa continued with an incredible local food and wine experience. Come along with me as I try traditional Cossack food in a traditional Ukrainian house and go on a private winery tour in Odessa, Ukraine!

My guide Natasha from Tours by Locals and I began our afternoon at Don Alejandro Winery, a boutique winery just outside of Odessa. There, I met Alejandro and ran into a guy I met earlier in the day at the Shustov Cognac Museum!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

The winery is located in Alejandro’s family’s home. It was freezing outside, so Alejandro let me borrow a jacket!

We started in the wine tasting room, where there were shelves full of different wines. The property was beautiful! There were several houses and buildings on the property made to look like mosaics.

There were even wine bottles set into the tables and concrete walls. There are 600 bottles in the outdoor table and 1400 in the outdoor barbecue! It was so unique and I’d never seen anything like it!

There are also underground cellars that contain 93,000-liter barrels! Then, I saw the original winery, which is now used to store wine. It looked like there were thousands of wines stored there. They also make champagne, which ferments vertically on racks.

Each shelf holds 600 bottles. There are also 170,000 bottles in the cellar in the catacombs! Then Alejandro opened a vat filled with fermenting wine and filled up 4 bottles. He was so nice!

Then, we saw another underground storage area and the bottle labeling room. It’s all done by hand here! From there, we saw a bathroom where they have 1950’s post-war era posters on the walls.

Then, it was time to try some of their Young Champagne. Then, Alejandro showed me their liver sausage and let me try some smoked salo.

He then fed me some sausage, more salo, Bryndza cheese (which tasted like feta), and blood sausage. Everything was so good, I would be a blimp if I stayed in this country for too long!

Next up was some Ukrainian Saperavi dry red wine, which they say is similar to Georgian wine. I loved the aroma, and the flavor was excellent. Everything was made locally, including the bread.

Then, he gave me a bottle of wine as a gift, which I was planning on giving to my dad. Next, we tried their tropical and earthy Quintessence Grand Reserve.

Next was an aged champagne that was like a bubbly farmhouse champagne. Then, Alejandro took me upstairs, past lots of vases from India set into the walls. There were some great views of the estuary and the distant vineyards.

Then, Natasha and I drove 20 minutes to Kumanets in the city. Inside, I tried some spicy horseradish vodka and creamy salo spread on bread.

Then, we went for a flight of vodka, starting with a sweet and spicy honey pepper vodka. Next were cranberry vodka, tangy sea buckthorn vodka, and horseradish vodka. We also had smalets, which is a melted pork lard spread made with salt and garlic.

They also brought me some lazy dumplings stuffed with cottage cheese. The “Lazy” dumplings came with veal and cranberry sauce. The cranberry gave it a nice sweetness that paired nicely with the savory, slow-cooked veal.

Next was stuffed cabbage, which contained rice and pork. They also brought me Goby fish. The stuffed cabbage were right up my alley and unreal!

Then, I picked out the spine and bones in the goby fish. It was an amazing Black Sea Fish with a spicy horseradish mustard sauce. It was so flaky and tasty, I had to go in with my hands! The cheeks were excellent, but the spicy sauce was really hot!

Medieval Ukrainian FORTRESS FOOD in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:

My once-in-a-lifetime trip through Ukraine continued outside the seaside port of Odessa. Join me as I enjoy some medieval Ukrainian fortress food in Bilhorod Dnistrovskyi, Ukraine!

My guide Natasha from Tours by Locals and I started our latest adventure in wet and rainy Odessa. I’d be taking a day trip to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, a port town on the Black Sea historically known as Akkerman. There, I’d get to visit its historical fortress!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Together with our driver James, we hit the road for a 90-minute drive southwest to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi. James was like my Ukrainian brother! He very kindly gifted me some moonshine from his dad’s place!

Finally, we arrived in Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi, whose name translates to “White City.” It’s 2,500 years old and one of the oldest cities in the world!

We continued on down a pretty rough road, through a forested area, to Bilhorod-Dnistrovskyi Fortress. It’s also known as Akkerman Fortress and dates back to the 13th-14th centuries. It was built by the Genoese on the ruins of Tyras, an ancient Greek city that existed on the site until the 4th century.

Near the fortress is a woman selling coffee. I got an Americano for 15 hryvnia/$0.50 USD to wake up!

The fortress stands atop a hill. The entry fee is 80 hryvnia, or about $3.50 USD. The castle is guarded by a moat. It’s the biggest fortress I visited in Ukraine. It was massive! Inside the walls was a space where a medieval festival would be held.

There would also be vendors and there’s also a playground for kids! Then, we met a man who makes replicas of old coins for 75 hryvnia/$3 USD. I chose to have him make a coin featuring Alexander the Great riding an elephant!

I took a few more coins before seeing some more gift shops and eventually finding a small food stall. I ordered two sausages, bread, and salad. The vendor gave me some candy as well! While we waited for them to cook my food, we continued exploring the fortress.

Then, we reached the actual fortress. There was a small village within the fortress. You can also climb the walls to get views of the city and the bay.

The views were gorgeous, but you should be sure to only explore the designated areas. There are also areas that are unsafe, so pay attention to the signs!

The fortress has multiple defensive walls. We then saw that area that the commanders would defend, as well as a dungeon and an underground storage area for gun powder. Then, we visited the command tower, which was used for defensive purposes.

In the command tower, the stairs were made of wood so that they could be removed in the event of an enemy invasion. Then, I headed up to the wall to view the bay. It was so peaceful up there!

Next, we headed to the other side of the fortress, where you can climb up to a path with stellar views over the village inside. Then, we headed back down to the village to eat!

I started with pomegranate wine, pork sausages, cabbage salad, ketchup, and sulguni pita (which contains tomatoes and local burrata-like cheese). It really hit the spot! The pita was fantastic and the sausages were juicy and meaty.

The cabbage salad was crunchy and fresh, and the pomegranate wine was really unique and tasty, but also dry and fruity. I’d first had it in Armenia. This kind was different from the Armenian version, but still very good! In total, everything came to 160 hryvnia/$7 USD.

The restaurant was near an archery field and had some shields on the wall. They also had a suit of armor helmet and a gauntlet you can try on! From there, we left the fortress!

Making TRADITIONAL UKRANIAN BREAKFAST - Visiting Kyiv Pechersk Lavra | Kyiv, Ukraine

???????? LEARN MORE ABOUT UKRAINE:
???? TOURS BY LOCALS:
???? MARGARITA:
????????‍???? SHO:

My adventures in Ukraine continued as I learned to make a traditional Ukrainian breakfast before exploring Kiev Pechersk Lavra, the holiest place in the Orthodox religion in Kyiv, Ukraine. Come join me on my latest food and culture adventure in the capital of Ukraine!

My morning began at Sho, a popular restaurant in the capital whose name translates to “What.” They make traditional Ukrainian food in a gorgeous, modern space. My guide Margarita and I were ready to have some breakfast!

???? DAVID’S BEEN HERE MERCH:

Inside, we met the chef, Inna and went into the kitchen to make some vareniki, which are dumplings similar to ravioli and pierogi! I tried my hand at making some and then it was time to eat!

Our breakfast began with small batch vodka followed by 4 types of varekini (including one with cherry filling), fermented vegetables, a cabbage roll called golubtsi, chicken Kyiv, cakes with cheese and fruit called syrniki, lard with fried onions, and blood sausage.

The boiled pork and beef vareniki melted in my mouth, and the cherries inside the other popped when I bit down! They were great with the fermented vegetables, sour cream, and lard with fried onions.

The blood sausage, Chicken Kyiv, golubtsi, bread with pate, and syrniki were out of this world as well.

Then, Margarita and I toasted with some berry mors, and the employees gave me some pottery and two bottles of vodka! They were too nice!

From there, Margarita and I drove five minutes to the Park of Eternal Glory, which is a memorial for Ukrainians who died in World War II. It contains statues, a huge monument, an eternal flame, and fir trees to honor hero cities in WWII.

Next to the park is the Dnieper River, and nearby is a large candle structure that’s part of the Holodomor Genocide Museum, which is dedicated to the genocide that took place in Ukraine between 1932-1933.

From there, we made our way to Kiev Pechersk Lavra, or Kiev Monastery of the Caves. It’s a historic Eastern Orthodox Christian monastic complex that began as a cave monastery in 1051.

It costs 130 hryvnia to go inside and up to the top of the bell tower, and only 100 if you don’t want to visit the bell tower.

To the left and right of the entrance of the Gate Church of the Trinity are old, beautiful murals of saints. Inside is the Arch of Purification. It’s said you’re washed of your sins as you pass through. Parts of the original 11th-century brick walls are still on display inside.

The Great Lavra Belltower is 96.5 meters tall. It was the tallest free-standing belltower in the world when it was built in the 18th century. It was law for a long time that nothing in Kyiv could be built taller than the belltower!

Climbing the stairs to the top of the belltower is tough, and the chilly air gets colder the higher you go. But the view at the top is worth it!

From there, you can see 360-degree views over all of Kyiv, including the golden domes of Dormition Church, the Dnieper River, the monks’ old residences, and The Motherland Monument.

Then, we headed down to Trapeza Church, which was used for winter services. It contains the biggest dome in Ukraine, a dining hall for the monks, and gorgeous frescoes. It looks very similar to the Hagia Sophia in Istanbul and dates back to the 19th century!

Our final stop was the Near Caves. Female visitors must wear a head scarf. You also must light a candle to see, as it’s very dark. There are chapels and mummified saints down there, but it’s also very narrow.

Then, we headed back to the Dormition of the Virgin Mary Church to end our tour! What an incredible morning in Kyiv!
