11 Mirrors Restaurant & Bar

The story

Crafted with passion, served with love

A view of Kyiv, from first light to last call

Perched inside the 11 Mirrors Design Hotel on Bohdana Khmelnytskogo Street, 11 Mirrors Restaurant & Bar operates from early morning until late evening, shifting its mood as the city below does the same. The panoramic setting is not incidental – watching Kyiv's downtown gradually awaken over a breakfast and a glass of prosecco is precisely the experience the restaurant is built around.

The kitchen and the chef behind it

Chef Taras Khrushch leads the kitchen with what he describes as a commitment to local product and meaningful food. "Among the variety of tastes, one is always unique — the taste of the place where you were born," he has said. "That is why we prefer the local product. And the present motivates us to create not only beautiful, but also meaningful food." His background combines sophisticated technique with broad, diverse experience – qualities that show in a menu that moves comfortably between Ukrainian tradition and wider influences.

What's on the plate

The menu at 11 Mirrors spans contemporary European cooking, Ukrainian classics and a touch of pan-Asian fusion. Cultural touchstones like Borsch sit alongside the restaurant's undisputed bestseller: a Chicken Kyiv cutlet that the kitchen has quietly transformed into something more refined than its familiar form – an elegant preparation that wins over both first-time visitors and returning locals. Beyond these signature dishes, the menu draws from a broader repertoire of international favourites that have found a natural home here.

Mornings bring a dedicated breakfast menu, served daily through the morning hours, while the full menu runs through lunch and on into the evening.

Recognition and the wine list

The restaurant's wine programme has earned a Wine Spectator Award of Excellence for 2025 – recognition that reflects the care applied to the cellar and the bar book alongside the kitchen. It is the kind of credential that matters to wine-minded diners and gives the broader contemporary European offer a well-matched drinking dimension.

Who comes here

Travellers staying at the design hotel and Kyiv locals alike have made 11 Mirrors Restaurant & Bar a regular stop. The panoramic dining room, the balance between familiar Ukrainian dishes and more widely travelled contemporary European cooking, and a full-day schedule that runs from breakfast through to late evening give it a versatility that few addresses in the city can match.
