Uzhgorod is an ancient city founded in the 9th century. Tourists love it for its ancient history, cozy center and green promenades. In addition, it is known for Transcarpathian cuisine. We will tell you where to eat in Uzhgorod.
Uzhgorod borders Slovakia, so it is often called the Ukrainian window to Europe. The local cuisine is unusual, it has preserved Ukrainian, Hungarian, Czech, Romanian and other features. Such a concentration of traditions of different countries is a rarity for Europe.
In Uzhgorod restaurants there are different variations of the same recipes. Be sure to try and find your favorite!
The most popular hot meat dish is bograch, which Hungarians have been cooking since the time of crossing the Carpathians to Pannonia. Bograch – (first course) is a thick mixture of meat, mushrooms, onions, peppers, garlic and other ingredients. It is cooked in a cauldron on an open fire (even the name indicates this: in Hungarian “cauldron” – “bogracs”). According to legend, the Hungarians heavily peppered their dishes during the Turkish wars so that enemies could not eat what was cooked. Turks have not threatened the peace of Transcarpathians for a long time, and the tradition of adding a lot of pepper to food has remained.
The main dishes of both Latin American and Alpine Indians and Transcarpathian highlanders are made from beans, potatoes, corn, cheese and meat. Yes, Hutsuls cook banush porridge from corn, and Italians cook polenta. There are, of course, slight differences in recipes, but their main feature is the ease of preparation and preservation required for long-term storage of the small set of products that can be obtained in harsh mountain climates. For this purpose, for example, the Swiss dry meat and Transcarpathians smoke.
The village of Turia Remeta is famous for its French culinary traditions. The village café serves frog legs and turtle soup. The fact is that in the first half of the XIX century in the village were captured French soldiers of Napoleon’s army. Most of them were amazed by the beauty of the Carpathians and our girls started families here and stayed in Transcarpathia forever.
We have named only a few dishes, but in local cafes you will find others: dumplings, perkelt, rokot-krumpli. Recipes are often unique and stored by the owners of institutions, passed down through the generations.
Another local pride is wine and cognac. The fruits are harvested in local vineyards. Local varieties are soft, mostly dessert. Autumn is the season of grape harvest, come here at this time for young wines, or for the celebration of young wine.
Transcarpathian unique climate contributed to the ancient masters of the vine. In Transcarpathia, with its warm sunny summers, mild winters, fertile soil, relief, everything seems to be deliberately created for planting vines.
Transcarpathian vintage cognacs “Tysa”, “Uzhgorod” and “Karpaty” are known all over the world. Ordinary cognacs “Three Stars”, “Five Stars”, “Transcarpathian”, “Nevytsky Castle” and “Beskydy” are equally popular. Their production is a fairly young branch of winemaking in Transcarpathia. It was founded in 1959 in the village of Velyki Lazy, Uzhgorod district, where the first batch of cognac alcohol was poured into oak barrels.
