Restaurant «Pervak» Review

Authentetic interior allows to back to a more a the hundred-year Kyiv autmosphere. Accopanying to it the waiters got used to the role of those times afford to clients reccomendarions and always ready to assist makes the Pervak one of the favourite restaurant in Kyiv.

A really cool shop in the center of Kiev. totally crazy atmosphere and very good food selection. The staff was very friendly and also advised us well. The beer was very good. Here goes aufjedenfall again. (Addendum: The second visit the disaster, waiter inattentive, writes nothing with the order and then forgets half .. Understand the logic not an apology there was not = bad service. Was probably the last visit here)

Very nice ambience but unfortunately the food is only average, the service extremely slow and the prices too high.

Very good place, with amazing quality and variety of Ukrainian food. Be aware of the prices, that sometimes are not that Ukrainian.

Thank you very much for your pancakes on Shrovetide, Roma and Lena, you are the best both in the snow and in the rain fed us the most delicious pancakes

Last week we ordered delivery of 2 business lunches (# 3), frozen dumplings and sweet nuts. The business lunch included borsch, meat with fried potatoes, olivier. The quality of the dishes is lower than any dining room. The borsch was cooked from frozen vegetables, they are bluish in color, taste sour and tasteless. The meat is similar to the sole in taste and texture. Dumplings as dumplings - nothing special. Either the establishment treats business lunches (not cheap at all), or delivery in general. The situation is completely unclear. We will not order or recommend anything more.

Unrealistically cool place! We managed to go twice and twice we were able to surprise and pamper. The food is tastier than delicious, the service is like dear guests. The quality beats the price. The waiters are the nicest people! Thank you so much for this atmosphere!

Great food, a bit touristy, but more than fair prices, in a great location, what more can you ask for?! Try the Vareniki with goat cheese and mint, you won't regret it!!

Excellent place with democratic prices. From the borsch waited for the WOW effect, but it did not happen, although the serving of the dish is good. With local tinctures neatly - in the morning they were very buzzed with head) Interior on 5ku

Excellent dining experience, great food and quality. Presentation is top class, setting is lovely, staff are very good.

What started out as a good experience slowly got worse and finished on a horrible note.
After we didn't receive one of the dishes we ordered It took us over ten minutes just to flag any waiter down to find out where it was. Finally it was bought to the table and was stone cold.
We then sent it back and asked for a fresh plate as it was a soggy mess, cold mess only for the chef to reheat it and bring it back to us..still a soggy mess, only this time half cod half hot. A This is not acceptable, even from a restaurant of this size.
When we received the bill we questioned the price of the wine. What i asked for had not been bought out and as a result we were charged an excessive amount for two glasses of the wrong wine. The waiter got incredibly defensive and as a result of his mistake we were left to pay the difference.
Really sour note to finish an otherwise decent meal.

It's always been the best Ukraine food in downtown kyiv

Excelent Ukrainian traditional restaurant. Very pleased personel. Tasty and cheap food. Definitely recommend Ukrainian smoked bacons (salo) with "hrenovuha" (Ukrainian traditional drink)

Overpriced, touristy restaurant. Not the 'real' Kiev

Amazing little restaurant, went for dinner for two nights while in Kiev. High quality food for reasonable prices, and one of the best sex on the beach cocktails I've ever had.

Favorite restaurant of Ukrainian cuisine. Good borsch, everything else is ok, but during a tight landing they carry food and cold for a long time

Authentic Ukrainian cuisine and nice beer selection

Tasty cuisine, a good impression, successfully waited for a thunderstorm))

Great restaurant! Insanely delicious! The interior is chic!

We had perfect dinner in Pervak.So it cost a bit higher than another local restaurants but it is worth.Delicious food , awesome ambience

The food is delicious, the place is good, the service is quite descent but the waiter asked for tips through cards so funny tho. But the price is a bit expensive

Delicious food and signature horseradish. Nice staff.

Very cool restaurant! The interior is chic! Pictures, colors - exquisite. The dishes are wonderful, delicious, satisfying

I think it is the best place to try Ukrainian cuisine for tourists.

5/5. Quality service, reasonable prices, delicious food and a wonderful beer, nice interior. Before that there were a few compliments from the boss. I recommend visiting.

Good foods, good service, good ambiance, good location..

The only good restaurant with national Ukrainian cuisine in the city center.

Nice national ukrainian style place.Food was served very quickly.

Enjoy the authentic Kiev cutlet. Lemonade was highly recommended, but cranberry juice was a commercial taste.
Making the whole store interesting.
By the way, since the tip is not included in the accounting, it is necessary to pass it separately. (You will be prompted for it)

Typical Ukraineian cuisine, might be interesting for a tourist. Important to mention that the place itself considered as posh for some reasons I didn't noticed really. Service, food, people, prices? All was okay. I dont know.. not my thing

Very nice delicious place. Good service and relation between price and the portions.

Food is very delicious. Prices are average. Really nice in here. Would recommend! 5/5

Place with good business lunches and unlimited salad bar. One of the best places with local cuisine.

This was the restaurant a taxi driver recommended to me on my arrival in Kiev. I really liked the food and the atmosphere + complimentary shots! We did make a booking and it was quite busy on the day we were dining - but good places tend to be like this. I'd highly recommend to visit.

The kitchen and wine are simply superb for such a price tag. Though in the center, but quiet enough. I did not have time to get tinctures

Great enviroment,Delicious food,Nice ladies and their advantiges, life music .

Local vodka taste perfect!

Nice place

A good place for lovers of Ukrainian cuisine or guests of the capital.
Delicious food, authentic interior design, polite staff, a large number of rooms and locations for photos.

Great restaurant. Excellent cuisine and interesny interior. Sane prices

Good business lunch menus, reasonable prices, good service, good location

Wonderful place right in the centre, nice look and feel inside. The traditional Ukrainian food was very tasty and reasonably priced. We got a free shot of some vodka mixed with something, and accompanied with a red hot chilli. The menu comes as a book with great pictures of each dish. I had the left of lamb and rabbit, I was hungry, and they were delicious

It's nice to come back years later to your favorite restaurant and find that the quality of service and delicacy have improved!

Undoubtedly one of the best restaurants in Kiev. Very tasty dishes and super attentive service. The beers are great. Highly recommend the chicken Kiev

Tasty borsch. He even said that the most delicious borsch in Kiev. Kiev cutlet is also very tasty. The atmosphere is super. The service is also good. Real Ukrainian restaurant. The waiters were also in national costumes. Cozy family restaurant. The truth is a bit pricey. But once in a lifetime everyone should go there. I advise everyone ...)))

You want to eat well and feed foreign guests with excellent Ukrainian and Kiev cuisine - only here. Textured, bourgeois-Kiev restaurant. Very tasty borsch with donuts, dumplings, favorite salads "Olivier" 4 types and "fur coat". Farshmak. homemade liquors and stronger. Tasty coffee.

Fantastic place for its atmosphere, Ukrainian food and certainly the service! One of the best restaurants we've been to these days! Noble atmosphere of the capital of the nineteenth century .. environment, live music .. great! Special thanks to the two waiters Oleksandr and Stas, very good !!!

Tasty, beautiful, and inexpensive. Thank you very much for the delicious food, excellent service and the desire to help with the food for the baby. He made a gruel, which was not on the menu. Thank!

Very nice place, great location, tasty food and high quality service.

Very local. Prices are moderate. Food very good. You should try the restaurants own beer.

Went with my wife for lunch. The interior is beautiful, friendly staff, many halls with a variety of styles. Delicious business lunch. I advise everyone - a great place in the center of Kiev.

Good local food and horseradish sun. It is worth to go there.

Borscht is beyond praise! The portion is big, the service is super! The only thing on our visit, in the restaurant hall there was a strong smell of food.

I love the semi dry white wine, but I forgot the name, can you tell me?

Nice place with a national flavor. Almost all waitresses have a color of at least 3 sizes. They are treated with tinctures. Recommend.

Brilliant place. Well deserved top place in the ranks. The choice was vast and the food very tasty.

Complete disaster, almost to a criminal degree. The waiter, who at first glance made a friendly impression, suggested plates of diverse foods. While it took very long to get food and drinks and getting everything on the table, the big surprise came in the end: THE BILL! No matter how low your accounting standards are..., getting a piece of paper with an arbitrarily figure written on is simply unacceptable. After some disagreement with the waiter, we wanted to pay with credit card. The option was denied with the excuse, that there are some troubles with the credit card machines as their provider is running a systems update(!) Wow! Stunning! After another disagreement, we were told, it takes some twenty minutes until the "credit card system" is online again, which to their surprise we decided to wait out. After half an hour, that "credit card machine" miraculously worked again, and we were presented with a receipt in Cyrillic only. Stupid tourists can't read it anyway, right? Well: most us of had Russian in their curriculum in school, so it was also clear we were being ripped of. Sick of the argument we paid... Food? Drinks? Who cares... - i strongly advise to AVOID this place.

The original interior. The portions are small. Borsch is not authentic. Prices are in St. Petersburg. The restaurant is oriented more likely to tourists. The second time it makes no sense to go.

Excellent restaurant ... The best we visited in a week. Cozy, beautiful, three rooms, a bar, live music, everything is delicious, the waiters are kindly not boring. I ll definitely visit again if I m in Kiev.

Stunning interior. Very colorful, executed in the national Ukrainian style. Friendly staff. A lot of different halls. Bar area. Delicious cuisine. Very popular place. Conveniently located near the Metro Palats Sportu and Sq. Lev Tolstoy
