New, fancy restaurants accommodate tourists and the few Ukrainians who can afford them, while stolovayas (cafeterias) serve cheap, hot food. Varenyky (pierogi-like dumplings) are delicious. Vegetarians beware: meat has a tendency to show up even in so-called “vegetarian” dishes. Finding kosher foods can be a daunting task, but it helps to eat non-meat items or to dine in primarily Jewish areas. State food stores are classified by content: hastronom (packaged goods); moloko (milk products); ovochi-frukty (fruits and vegetables); myaso (meat); khlib (bread); kolbasy (sausage); and ryba (fish). Kvas is a popular, nonalcoholic fermented-bread drink. Grocery stores are often simply labeled mahazyn (store).
