“severely poisoned”: how tourists are actually fed in expensive establishments in Bukovel – honest reviews

The end of January motivates Ukrainians to finally visit Bukovel and enjoy their vacation. But the mixed reviews of tourists about the resort are alarming. Recently, you have learned about the difficulty of renting equipment, transportation and long lines. Today let’s talk about the realities of nutrition in popular gardens and restaurants. Honest reviews were shared by visitors on Google Maps and TripAdvisor.

Spoiler: They managed to increase the price tags, but they forgot about quality food and service.

Filvarok Restaurant

Have you dreamed of having lunch at a restaurant where Vladimir Zelensky once ate? Come to Filvarok to make your dreams come true. The President was noticed in this garden on January 5. The information was shared by journalist Yury Butusov on Facebook.

The prices in the institution are presidential! What is a plate of borscht with donuts worth for 260 hryvnias. Yes, the prices are shocking. But the price tags are high because some customers complain about the poor quality of the food.

Visitor with nickname 133katerinal I tried jelly in an institution. He reminded her regular boiled chicken with jelly. By the way: the traditional jelly is rich and fatty. I also tried borscht, but it didn’t impress me either. She compared it with cheap borscht from the dining room of the sanatorium.

Poor quality food, especially for the money. Kholodets is boiled chicken with jelly, borscht is like in the dining room of a sanatorium – liquid, tasteless and two spoons, she wrote.

saw another negative review of the first dish. Attention was paid to mushroom soup with homemade noodles. A user with the nickname Mariwam was disappointed because he ordered one thing, and they brought him another. The guy was expecting a traditional mushroom soup, and received – soup with the taste of cheap seasoning “Mivina”. The dish costs 260 hryvnia. Bograch and service he also hated.

Everything was fine!!! But mushroom soup … very upset…a few mushrooms and a taste of seasoning “Mivina”(( Bograch is also not quite right, and the portions are small. And they simply forgot about the potato pancakes and did not even apologize. There was a compliment in the form of bread with grated lard, but the taste “Mivins” it didn’t fix it,” he wrote.

Sadyba “Mushroom house”

Tourists are attracted to the garden “Mushroom house” a facade that resembles a mushroom, as well as an original serving of dishes. For who will refuse borscht poured into a bread plate that can be eaten? But “picture” This is not a guarantee that the food is delicious.

User Stanislav Koretsky admitted that the taste of the food is disappointing despite the interesting presentation. The tourist managed to visit the institution several times, but the sadyba did not live up to expectations.

A very popular place, but it is completely unclear why. Been here several times with a group, and only because we booked a table in advance. All the food we have ordered looks much better than it tastes., he wrote.

Tourists are not too lazy to talk about their impressions after dinner, because they pay crazy money. Traveler Elena ordered ribs for 504 hryvnias and was dissatisfied. He assures that from a portion of 400 grams there were only 100 grams of meat, and everything else was bones.

Inspired to write a review of the ribs. For 504 hryvnia you get bones with a minimum amount of meat. In the photo: bones on the right, ribs on the left. This is how you get 100 grams of meat from a portion of 400 grams, she noted.

Traveler Oksana Brezitskaya “lucky” most. Lunch in the garden spoiled her rest. Tourist with the family was poisoned by the dishes they ordered. But the woman noticed that the food was still delicious.

Can’t recommend this place. After yesterday’s visit with my family on 01/13/2022, everything was delicious, we ate, and in the evening, 3 hours after the visit, severe poisoning. Vomiting and diarrhea all night. The whole family did not go skiing today. Vacation ruined,” she wrote.

Bograch, which is called the food of the shepherds, in the sadyb they do not know how to cook. The traveler Denis was outraged by the dish that was brought to him, because the cook had prepared it incorrectly. The guy was presented with potatoes, which were poured “sharp substance”, and not the traditional rich Carpathian soup with peppercorns. The dish costs 184 hryvnia.

I ordered the famous bograch and received a plate of potatoes drenched in a spicy substance. If your establishment doesn’t know how to cook it, then why offer it on the menu?” he wrote.

By the way, food in the garden is not from the budget, but the prices are acceptable considering the resort. Tourists “Bukovel” prices are called “normal”. Already used to. V “Mushroom hut” you will pay 187 hryvnia for mushroom zupa, 386 hryvnia for wild roe deer goulash, and 217 hryvnia for rabbit dumplings.

A restaurant “Koliba”

The next establishment that managed to set insane prices, but forgot to take care of the quality of food – Kolyba. Here you will pay 260 hryvnias for Hutsul borscht, 435 hryvnias for a salad coat with lightly salted salmon, and 285 hryvnias for chicken cutlets with mashed potatoes. Not prices but “happiness” for the tourist!

Despite the high price visitors praise the institution. But there were a few travelers who were not so lucky. Tourist Diana Pribor brought potato pancakes for 300 hryvnia, which were overcooked and reminded of crackers. The situation with dumplings is also disappointing.

Deruny for 300 hryvnia, like crackers or chips, and dumplings with potatoes are generally like from a pack,” she wrote.

Salo Restaurant

Tourists eating at Salo accustomed to price tags, because they are above average. For Carpathian bograch you will pay 325 hryvnia, cabbage and carrot salad – 245 hryvnia, and mashed potatoes – 140 hryvnia. Prices, as in institutions in Europe!

Despite the prices, there were few negative reviews on Google Maps and TripAdvisor about the establishment. But it didn’t work without them.

Tourist Andrey Atroshchenko brought mushroom soup with instant pasta. He paid 325 hryvnia for it, so he expected to see homemade pasta made by himself.

Be prepared for European food prices averaging 10 euros, the mushroom soup with instant pasta and unknown mushrooms did not live up to expectations, the black pudding with mushrooms and buckwheat was delicious,” he wrote.

Rest in Bukovel is like mushroom soup: you pay a lot of money, but you don’t know what awaits you – a pleasant surprise that you want to repeat, or a nuisance.
