I have always been a fan of Eastern European cuisine so I'm really happy to know that there is another Ukrainian restaurant in Hong Kong other than Ivan, which happens to be one of my favorite restaurants.
Dacha is elegantly decorated yet approachable and relaxed. I have never visited a restaurant in Hong Kong that exudes this particular type of vibe.
Dacha is still in its soft-opening stage so the menu is very limited and they don’t have a dinner menu yet. The lunch set is a simple borsch & dumplings set:
I chose the Pierogi with potato & caramelized onion set. ($98)
The borsch was a vegetarian version that consisted of beetroot, potatoes and sour cream. The taste was just right, neither too sour nor too bland. Very refreshing indeed. The piece of bread that came with the soup had a bit of what appears to be garlic oil being drizzled on it. That was good with the soup.
I ordered a bottle of Ukranian/Russian malt drink “Kvas”. It tasted a bit like a sweet version of dunkle (alcohol free, of course). Interesting and rather filling. The Pierogi (filled dumplings popular in Eastern Europe) was filled with mashed potato. At first, I thought I had to order more food for lunch, probably another pierogi. However, since the pierogi were stir fried with butter and filled with potato, it was surprisingly filling. The taste was simple but good. Down to earth and homely.
Just in case, I ordered a sweet honey cake as recommended by the owner of Dacha. She was confident enough to say that if I did not like it, she would not charge me for it. Needless to say, I ordered it.
It tasted great as promised. The texture was somewhere between a carrot cake and a tiramisu. The taste of the honey was pronounced but not overwhelming. It was a satisfying end to a good lunch. The honey cake was as sweet as the two lovely Ukrainian ladies who served us. I would recommend Dacha for someone who wanted a simple, relaxed lunch or tea. I am looking forward to their formal opening. I recommend adding different types of herbal tea to their menu as this place seems perfect for having a quiet and relaxed cup of tea in the midst of Central.
