A busy day checking out all Odessa has to offer is sure to work up quite the appetite. Here is a look at some recommended local restaurants ranging from fine dining to casual eating, each guaranteeing a taste of Odessa’s unique heritage in its own individual way.

Assol Situated in the upscale Arcadia beach area and housed on an old wooden warship inside the local yacht club, the Assol provides not only a touch of class, but a breathtaking view to complement every bite. The restaurant is lit by candle light from stern to aft, serving dually as both a romantic and recreational dining experience. The menu features a mouthwatering sampling of traditional Ukrainian cuisine, while the diverse beverage list includes pirate rum, fresh from the ships basement.
Vasilisa This exquisite restaurant boasts a particularly Russian feel, preserving the culture that the Ukraine, Odessa in particular, was heavily influenced by a long period of Soviet control. Draped in authentic Russian decorum, the menu matches the aesthetic styling, offering a variety of Russia’s favorite recipes. From fowl to beef to fish, the Vasilisa offers a full selection bound to satisfy any pallet. To wash it down, try a sampling of traditional Russian vodka. Other beverages, both alcoholic and nonalcoholic are also available to quench your thirst.
Kumanet’s This quaint, old timey Ukranian jaunt boasts one of the best locations in all of Odessa, just a block away from centrally located Deribasovskaya St. Kumanet’s provides a more casual dining experience for visitors looking to gauge an authentic eating experience. From shashliks to varenikies, local favorites all find a home on the menu. The Kumanet also offers an array of beverage choices including Kvas, an alcoholic drink native to the Ukraine. The convenient location can sometimes lead to a sizeable wait, but most satisfied customers agree it’s worth it.
