The story
Winovnik sits on Dmytra Yavornytskoho Avenue in Dnipro, and its name has reached beyond Ukraine's borders — the restaurant earned Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence in 2022, a distinction that places it among a select group of establishments worldwide recognized for exceptional wine programming paired with serious dining.
The restaurant's focus is European cuisine, served across both lunch and dinner services. Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence is not handed out lightly — it requires a wine list of significant depth and breadth, thoughtfully matched to the food on offer. For a restaurant in Dnipro to earn this recognition speaks to a genuine commitment to the full dining experience, from the glass to the plate.
Winovnik represents a level of care and curation that stands out in the region. Whether you are stopping in for a weekday lunch or settling in for an evening of European cooking and well-chosen wine, the accolade it carries gives you a reliable measure of what to expect: a kitchen and cellar that take their craft seriously.
