  • 1. Basta Pasta

    $

    Popular with Kherson families, Basta Pasta is a casual Italian restaurant in the city's Fabrika shopping center, with a great selection of fresh—and filling—dishes. The space is cozy and has a faux-rustic feel, with unfinished wooden floors and walls and lots of cushioned booths divided by homey wooden bookshelves. As the name suggests, the cuisine here is dominated by pasta and other Italian classics, and the pizzas come particularly recommended. Surprisingly, they also serve a huge variety of sushi and Japanese seafood dishes along with kebabs.

  • 3. Café Mishi Blyahera

    $$$$

    Tucked away down a steep set of stairs, this quirky, vintage-style restaurant is as popular for its food as it is for its convivial, eclectic atmosphere. It was inspired by a notebook belonging to an unknown author by the name of Mishi Blyahera, which was full of recipes, many of which feature on the frequently changing menu. Expect a wide selection of salads, meat dishes, and sweet treats (think Belgian waffles with strawberries). The interiors of this cozy basement restaurant have the feeling of a vintage furniture shop, with mismatched chests of drawers, bookshelves stuffed with old tomes, and low-hung lamps.

    $$$

    Perhaps the most popular seafood restaurant in Odessa well deserves its popularity, and it's nothing like the "red" lobster back home. The interior is elegant, with seating also available in the open-air courtyard. Live piano music enhances the pleasant ambiance.

  • 15. Sophie Cafe Restaurant

    $$$

    Housed in the Frederic Koklen Boutique Hotel, this café attracts plenty of people who are not hotel guests, who come for its large breakfast buffets and smaller lunch/dinner menu of meat, seafood, and wine. The ground-floor spot is classically elegant, with a dark-wood bar, wine-colored sofas, and crystal chandelier lighting, but is far from stuffy. Make sure to ask about the chef's list of seasonal specials, which often includes local dishes not easily found outside of Odessa.

    Inspired by Manhattan loft-style dwellings, the Loft Cascade serves a wide and varied selection of pub food and barbecue dishes in an industrial-chic environment. Although the beer selection is a bit slim for a pub, the focus is really on the food, and guests can wash down burgers, sandwiches, pastas, and meat and seafood dishes, with a frothy Guinness or a refreshing Hoegaarden White. A selection of steak is also available—think Lamb steak with a Jack Daniel's marinade or imported American T-bone. There’s also a summer menu with a lighter selection and a kids' menu.

    $$

    This popular eatery (reputedly the best in town) offeres cheap, tasty, typical Ukrainian dishes. It's worth exploring as a true local experience, but be warned: The place can be so packed at lunchtime in summer that you need to line up just to get in.
