I visited a lot of restaurants during my stay in Kiev but I must admit Lipsky Osobnyak is the best I had the pleasure to enjoy. Definitely try the Trout and Rabbit Stew with white wine (I was a skeptic at first but trust me, try it!). The service was great and attentive. Very professional. The restaurant is grand but... More

There's a huge gap between what you pay for and what you get. full stop. Quite frankly, 30 Euros for a flute of champagne is fine if you are at the Billionaire in Porto Cervo, but if you are in Kiev... and the rack of lamb I got was not simply overcooked, it was excessively overcook, nearly uneatable. Don't go... More

I went with a friend on the basis of recommendations below and was not disappointed: Food very good, a very extensive wine list (but I opted for a cheaper Georgian wine), service absolutely impeccable and with flair (the best I have ever received), and the period decor of a century ago charming, with nice seating in the balcony. And like... More

Went with a large party on a Sunday night. There was hardly anyone else in the restaurant. The atmosphere is superb; a beautiful room; beautifully presented table and immaculate service. The English -speaking staff were able to fully explain the dishes and offer sound advice for those not familiar with Russian/Ukrainian food. A definite plus. All the food was excellent.... More

Love this property! Me and my husband are loyal repeated guests in this place and enjoy the atmosphere a lot. We are living in Germany and can judge the service as top superior. Tastefully done interior with excellent waitstaff that were very attentive and friendly. I have found myself completely addicted to the dessert – drunk pear. I honestly believe... More

My dining experience at Lipsky Osobnyak in April 2012 was restaurant perfection. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing. I opted for Ukrainian meat dumplings with a cheese crust and rabbit stew for my main. This was coupled with a lovely Georgian red wine recommended by the waiter. Highly recommend! More
