Tatar Bunar is not just a restaurant; it's a celebration of Ukrainian culture and community, featuring traditional recipes and local craftsmanship. As Alex noted, 'We believe there is still work to be done in showing London how wonderful Ukrainian food is, which is why we have decided to open Tatar Bunar.' This emphasizes their commitment to sharing Ukraine's culinary heritage with the wider world.
The restaurant will feature both food and art representing Ukraine, with interiors showcasing reclaimed wood from the Carpathian region and handmade ceramics from Kyiv artist Svetlana Sholomitska, made during the city's challenging moments. Anna remarked, 'It’s essential for us to not only serve food but also tell the story of our country through the restaurant's design and materials.'
Head chef Kate Tkachuk aims to bring authentic Ukrainian flavors to London, with signature dishes like borscht and chicken Kyiv. The owners express excitement about contributing to London's diverse food scene, with Anna stating, 'We have long admired the food scene in London and its ability to celebrate and champion cuisines from all over the world.'
Tatar Bunar, set to open in March 2025, takes over the former Brindisa site and aims to make a lasting impression. The inclusion of an internal courtyard and a summer terrace signifies their intent to create an inviting space for both cultural exchange and culinary exploration.
