Ukrainian Village [Denman @ Robson]

I was craving a plate of home style Ukrainian/Polish food this evening, after a quick online search, I came across the Ukrainian Village on Denman @ Robson. I read some mixed reviews and was a lil turned off by the price, but wandered down nonetheless.

I must say I was very much impressed. I received excellent service, the decor, well not modern and classy reminded me very much of a Ukrainian or polish home.

Food came out piping hot and full. I left with a very full stomach and memories of the grand parents. The only complain I have is the price is a little on the high side!

I used to live right across the street from this place. I loved it. I also enjoyed it's neighbor Tapastree as well. Some good little restaurants in that area.

I've only ever been here once for lunch a couple years ago but I recall enjoying it. Definitely some good comfort food. I went there with a Bulgarian guy, Austrian guy, and Turkish guy. I didn't hear any complaints. And sure beat the frozen perogies I eat on a weekly basis.

There is an Indian restaurant that sells perogies and stuff on the block north west from One Wall Centre.
It was really good last time I went there.

Hmm, probably the same thing Japanese or Chinese people would think of our concept of their food.

At least nobody can screw up our Maple Syrup...!

Ah yes, California Rolls and Sweet and Sour Chicken Balls, now there's some authentic Japanese and Chinese food right there.

Now to show off my Viet pride, our food hasn't been Americanized yet. Except maybe the Pho Garden Challenge in San Francisco... eat their entire king sized bowl (equivalent to three large bowls of pho) and you get it free... otherwise it's $22. lol.

Yeah, the Ukrainian Village is one of those older European restaurants with some good home-made chow. I always enjoy the place. It has that simple European ambience. Gawd, I now miss the old Schnitzel Haus on Robson Street as a kid.

That's something akin to John Candy's "Ole 96er" that 96-ounce prime age beef steak that he chowed down in the Great Outdoors.

Spicy curried perogies sound like a great idea!
