1. Shokolad

Topping the list is Shokolad. It's a bakery and cafe, serving both Ukrainian cuisine and fine European pastries.

If you're there for breakfast, you might get tea or coffee, a sweet crêpe and some fruit cake. Lunch features varenyky (aka pirogies), a ham and Gruyere crêpe, beef stroganoff and potato leek soup.

The bakery also makes special-occasion cakes, sometimes using chocolate (or shokolad in Ukrainian).

2. Tryzub Ukrainian Kitchen

Next up is Tryzub Ukrainian Kitchen, situated at 2201 W. Chicago Ave. Tryzub means trident in Ukrainian and it is a symbol of national identity for many Ukrainians.

This restaurant with an Old World feel also offers the varenyky, and sweet and savory crêpes, but also potato flour and pork dumplings, a Carpathian mountain mushroom soup and smoked Cornish hen. Also check out the list of imported drinks from the region.
