The story
Fenix Restaurant in Kyiv pairs an Asian kitchen and a Mediterranean kitchen under one roof at Lesi Ukrainky Blvd, 30a. Wine Spectator awarded it a Best of Award of Excellence in 2025, and the restaurant also holds Gambero Rosso's two forks from 2022.
The Asian side of the restaurant follows the hand of chef Konstantin Zhukov, who gives familiar Asian classics a fresh reading. Expect bright sauces and sweet, sour and spicy notes that run through the dishes. The menu also offers suggestions for each guest's taste, including pairings matched to the Chinese zodiac sign.
The Mediterranean kitchen runs its own menu of author's variations on well-loved dishes. Gambero Rosso's two forks, awarded in 2022, sit alongside this kitchen as a recognition of its cooking. Each concept keeps a distinct identity, so guests can choose between the two in one visit.
Fenix hosts celebrations in two banquet halls, Murano and Fenikottero, both with designed interiors. After dinner, the lounge offers cocktails and hookah with a separate menu of light snacks and drinks. On Saturdays and Sundays, a nanny runs a children's program from 11:00 to 23:00, and the team can handle a full event or cater to your own brief.
