Krasna Sadyba Koliba, Yaremche

Yaremche, Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine

A koliba at an estate above the Prut

Krasna Sadyba in Yaremche is one of the town’s busiest places to eat: it has almost seven and a half thousand reviews on Google Maps. It is a hotel-and-restaurant complex open since 2002, and the heart of its food offer is a large koliba seating 100–150 guests. Around it is a spacious grounds with gazebos, a fire pit (vatra), a playground and access to the river, with a banya on the bank. People come both for lunch after a walk around town and to spend a whole evening by the fire.

Unlike the tourist cafés on the main street, Krasna Sadyba sits a little apart, closer to the Prut, and feels like a large family estate. Hotel guests have a separate restaurant, but for travellers the koliba with its own menu is the most interesting part.

What to try

The koliba menu has a dedicated “Local dishes” section — the place to start exploring Prykarpattia cooking:

Banosh with brynza — topped with cracklings or forest mushrooms in sour cream.
Zakarpattia bograch with beef — spicy and hearty.
Mushroom soup with homemade noodles, pork borscht with smoked pear, bean soup with veal, sauerkraut soup with smoked ribs.
Yavoriv pie with veal, Prykarpattia holubtsi (cabbage rolls), blood sausage with stewed cabbage, and “grandma’s pot” with meat and forest mushrooms.
Paliushky (potato dumplings) with forest mushrooms and potato pancakes with mushrooms or meat.
Trout — grilled, or lightly cured as a starter; plus a set of Hutsul spreads and a “mushroom meadow” of Carpathian mushrooms.
Sweet things — cherry or bilberry varenyky, pine-cone pie and walnut wafers.

The drinks list deserves a look for its homemade infusions and liqueurs: “Hutsul Tear” on birch sap, herbal bodrivka, cedar, galangal, pine-cone, horseradish, nettle and berry liqueurs. Hot drinks include pine-cone tea, sea-buckthorn tea and Carpathian honey. Below is a sample of menu prices — please check current prices at the restaurant.

Fire pit, banya and the riverside

Krasna Sadyba works well for groups and families: the grounds have gazebos, a fire pit, a playground and access to the Prut, and for a Carpathian-style steam there is a banya on the riverbank plus a sauna. The koliba also hosts banquets and celebrations. In video reviews travellers single out the koliba and its meals as a reason to stop in Yaremche.
