This summer I was lucky enough to visit Ukraine twice – yeah, baby! – and a big part of the joy of traveling there comes from eating. Nothing is off limits. In the remote town of Ivano-Frankivsk, a stopping point for skiers going to the Carpathians in western Ukraine, at Fabbrica I encountered a delicious non-alcoholic drink made with sea thistle and purple fettuccine noodles made from beets. The prices are a fraction of what one would pay in the United States. And the service actually enjoys the art of hospitality.
