A review of the 10 most stylish restaurants in the world in 2026, where the interior has become a part of the gastronomic experience, from Kyiv's Namelaka to Dubai's heights.

In an interview with Wave RBC.UA, GastroFamily CEO Elena Borisova said that the average check in Ukrainian restaurants has shrunk from three items to two, while visit frequency has fallen threefold. At the same time, guests keep coming for a "flashback to pre-war life," and the main threat for the 2026/27 winter remains the frosts and running on generators.

Ukrainian restaurants are spending 1.5–4 million hryvnias on generators and automation to survive blackouts lasting up to two days. Experts do not expect mass closures, but a 5–10% increase in the average check is inevitable.

Chef Andriy Matsiuta stated in an interview with WAVE that Ukraine already has Michelin-level restaurants, but the guide's arrival depends on safety, tourism, and commercial factors, not just the quality of the cuisine.
