food & mood in Prospekt shopping mall

Do men take pictures of their food for Instagram, how often do they eat desserts; is it true that girls being alone prefer filling food, what kind of smoothie athletes like, how to make a proposal using sushi set? What for the visitors of Prospekt Shopping Mall are ready to give up home-made dumplings and borshch?
Weekend asked chefs, directors, baristas and waiters of catering facilites with Ukrainian, European, Italian, Pan-Asian, Japanese and Chinese cuisines about the habits of their guests, unusual orders and favorite customers.

Brynza Bar
Maria Sedykh and Maria Didenko, cashiers

- Brynza Bar is the only one in the city. However, people say that we already have followers – someone has open a similar cafe and copied the format and the menu. We appreciate our team: the people who launched the cafe still work here. I remember how they developed the processes and the technologies, tasted various dishes, and made our kitchen shining.  
We have Carpathian cuisine - potato pancakes, dumplings, banosh, salads. The highlight of our menu is Shopsky salad, in which loose Carpathian cheese is used. We make stewed fruits and compotes. Children like our dumplings with potatoes, meat, cherries, and also - a healthy rich broth with noodles and egg.

Over recent years, a circle of regular customers, whom we recognize and whose tastes we know have been formed. The main question, “What is the soup of the day today?” 

We cook two types of cream soups, several types of broth, green borscht and other soups. More often, people eat in a company, but sometimes - alone. Waiting time for salads, appetizers makes 5-7 minutes, main dishes – less than 15 minutes.
People often ask to tell them the secret of our potato pancakes. Our cook says, “I just put my heart into them.” That is the secret. Our favorite food from the menu is grilled pita with cheese and beef steak with vegetables. Since we have to watch the figure, then most often we eat our salads. 

People not only come to us for a lunch in the afternoon, but also bring their friends to dinner in the evening. Sometimes regular customers joke, “You have to make me a discount, look how many people I brought to you!”
We are pleased when vistors invite foreign guests when they want to demonstrate and to surprise them with Ukrainian taste traditions. Foreigners like our dumplings and, in general, study our cuisine with interest.
