argue that Pulcinella pizza is the best in town, while others are equally

equipment and fanciful compositions of acoustic system. On one of the walls

expensive prices, it caters mostly to the expatriate and wealthy Ukrainian
crowd. The main dishes are creative and tasty and the breakfast menu and
buffet with free "American coffee" are also very good. The most unique
trademark of Steakhouse is the wooden box, containing four kinds of sugar,
chocolate, and cardamom seeds, that accompanies all coffee orders. Get a

The new restaurant " Shalimar" was recently opened in the heart of Odessa to
enjoy life with delight. Everybody who gets into this oasis of peace and
prosperity is immediately charmed by the Asiatic highly concentrated luxury
and comfort. It's always sunny in the "Shalimar". This place is designed for
those who prefer to be lazy. It sounds rather natural: " I'm sitting in the
"Shalimar" and doing nothing except enjoying life...." It's so easy here to
forget about the commonness! When there are so many little beautiful things
around you and instead of the ceiling there is a heavenly azure that you
want to sprawl on the sofa among pillows and just to dream. These dreams are
about the fantastical bends of sand-dunes in the desert, about the caravans
and about the most beautiful fantastic oases... It is necessary to say that
in this place there are all conditions for dreaming: lavish designed walls
won't let your eyes be bored, mild lightning creates the feeling of warmth
and there are special secluded corners for those who would like to seclude.

UKRAINIAN LASUNKA
Ukranska Lasunka is richly decorated with traditional Ukrainian items. A
large windmill decorates the middle of the restaurant. The food is good but
not great, and the service leaves a lot to be desired. If you want good
authentic Ukrainian food, we recommend Kumanets.

coffee or Italian espresso, toast & eggs plus other special dishes. The
pizza and pasta cost around 20-30 hr. The wine and beer is mostly imported
