Some people completely unfairly call canteens a relic of the past. But although these places don't have fancy table settings and trendy delicacies, you can still eat your heart out here, even on a limited budget.

YouTube blogger Stepan Yeranosyan has created a collection of videos about Kyiv's dining establishments where you can enjoy a budget-friendly, yet full meal.

Visit Ukraine's editorial team has watched these videos and compiled the TOP-5 best cafeterias in the capital, where you can plunge into the nostalgia of student days and remember the taste of dishes from children's camps.

Grab something tasty and keep reading. We are sure that you will discover new places!


Odesa Law Academy


The dining room here has a modern interior and a rather stylish design that is somewhat reminiscent of the Puzata Khata. This student cafe offers delicious, healthy and high-quality food for everyone.

For just 186 hryvnias, you can buy a large portion of pea soup, French-style meat, baked potatoes, a couple of slices of bread, and compote, which will definitely remind you of the taste of your childhood.

If you want to feel the real "student" luxury, buy a portion of two sandwiches with caviar or salmon of your choice for only 65 UAH!


Cafe Filin


This will probably be the most expensive restaurant in our selection today. The assortment here is quite diverse, the dishes are exquisite, but the prices are also appropriate. A lunch of gratin with rice and turkey, soup with mushrooms, tuna salad, bread and compote will cost 300 hryvnias. But given the quality of the dishes, such prices are justified as much as possible. The value for money will definitely surprise you.

This restaurant is quite popular on TikTok, because the staff is actively working on the development of social networks. Every day they shoot an assortment of dishes and other positive videos about the dining room.



Building H of the Kyiv National Economic University


This canteen is located in Pechersk, practically in the very center of the capital. According to Stepan Yeranosyan, it is the best option in terms of price and quality. 

Here you can taste buckwheat soup, salad with crab sticks and fresh vegetables, pasta with gravy, cutlet and compote for only 118 UAH! All salads here are served unassembled, without mayonnaise, which is also quite unusual for traditional dining rooms.

City Dining Room


This location on Lvivska Square is popular with both students and ordinary visitors. Seating here is almost always full, so you may have to wait until the city is free. 

For 285 hryvnias, you can buy a delicious baked potato, a Kyiv cutlet, spring salad, bread, and jelly at the city canteen. The prices here are definitely not student prices, and the portions are not very large. But the quality of the food has improved significantly, and the place has been renovated.



KNUTKiT


Perhaps Stepan Yeranosyan spoke most fondly of this institution, because it was here that he spent his student years. The dining room is located near the Golden Gate, in the very center of the capital.

For just 210 hryvnias, you can buy a lunch of soup, a large portion of vegetable salad, potatoes and a liver cutlet with mushrooms. It's not easy to find this dining room, because there is a coffee shop on top of it. So to find the entrance, you need to go downstairs. Here you can enjoy delicious dishes and be surrounded by creative young people.
