Budget friendly place. Recommend it for business lunch deals on weekdays (12:00-17:00). 3 dishes for 2.5$. Great deal and the cuisine is good. It is a chain, so you can also find restaurants around the city.

Must-visit.
St. Michael’s Cathedral is located opposite St. Sophia’s Cathedral. The original, built by Prince Sviatopolk in 1108, was destroyed by the Soviet regime in the 1930s for having “no historical value.” The reconstructed cathedral was completed in May 2000. Its sky blue exterior and glittering golden domes add a stunning layer to a cityscape that has become a mix-mash of crumbling ancient and newly reconstructed. A sobering reminder of Stalin’s inhumane policies stands to the right as you exit the church grounds. This is a monument to the victims of Holodomor (starvation): A famine orchestrated in part by the Soviet leadership in an attempt to squash the peasantry, as many as 10 million Ukrainians perished from 1932-33. Keeping watch over the square are the reconstructed statues of Princess Olga, Apostle Andrew, St. Cyrill and St. Mephodius.

Getting Around
The best suggestion to order taxi is through the uklon service.
You order a taxi on the internet. You just need to go to uklon.com.ua, choose a city Kiev and make an order.
I would suggest to make additional order for a comfortable car and English speaking driver if you require one.
This service is not expensive, average pricing.
