Taste Of Ukraine - St. Albert, Alberta

My sister and I grabbed a bite to eat at Taste of Ukraine 🇺🇦. Neither of us had been there and were delighted with the friendly service and delicious food.

First of all, the atmosphere was lovely. The main lights were low but they had some additional fairy-like lighting with a decorative accent tree in the middle of the dining space. Paired with the gentle Ukrainian music playing, it gave the place a classy vibe. The murals along the walls are also very beautiful.

To start, I got myself the Ukillini, their twist on a bellini to make it look like the Ukrainian flag. It was refreshing and sweet.

Then we shared two entrees, which came with a side of perogies as well as an additional side. I chose the kovbasa and kraut (ham garlic sausage and sauerkraut) with the additional side of nalysnyky (cheese crepe roll with dill cream sauce). I was blown away by the airy and creamy texture of the crepe. The skin of the savoury sausage was a bit tough, but they provided a sharp knife to cut it into bite-sized pieces. As you would suspect, the perogies were top notch, with the exterior dough being soft and delicate and the inside potato mash, smooth and packed with flavour.

My sister chose the dnipro dream (salmon wrapped in a puff pastry with lemon dill sauce) and the cabbage rolls in tomato sauce. If you come, I highly recommend getting the salmon! The combination of flavours and textures was amazing. The cabbage rolls were tasty as well and made a good side option.

While we were full from our meal, we managed to find some room for dessert and tried their mini cherry perogies and mini blueberry perogies. Both came with a side of vanilla ice cream. I couldn't decide which was better but my sister chose the cherry for its both its sweet and tart flavour. You could also tell the blueberries were fresh had that "made with love" feeling to them.

I highly recommend trying this place. Just make sure you double-check their hours of operation before you go.

Very authentic and unique surroundings aaaand of course one of the tastiest pierogi around. Can seat large groups and do pickup too.

We ordered take-out dinner for a multi-generation family get-together. Andrew gave fantastic recommendations as to what would be best/simplest for a buffet-style dinner and how much to order per person. The food was on time, hot and ready to go when we came to pick it up, and it was very well packaged. Everything was a hit, and the chicken skewers were a particular favorite. The quantity was perfect. Highly (HIGHLY) recommended.

We had an amazing mid-week meal at Taste of Ukraine!! We last ate at Taste of Ukraine nearly 15 years ago, and since moving out of Canada have really missed having decent perogis. Our recent meal definitely lived up to our expectations! I loved the option of having a mix of sides rather than a main meal, and the kids meals were perfect for our little ones 😋 I would highly recommend this place to anyone who loves Ukrainian food!!!

I highly recommend this place, we had a fantastic dinner here each of us trying something different and we were all satisfied with the flavours and quality of the food. The drinks were also pretty good. The atmosphere was quite nice.

We celebrated my birthday dinner as a group of eight recently. The restaurant was full so very glad that we had reservations.
Andrew, as our server, took superb care of us from the moment we arrived.
The service and the food were all excellent. We ordered the special four-course dinner and my friends all took their personal menus to share with family members, feeling very impressed with everything. It was a totally memorable evening and couldn’t have been better!
We will be chatting about it for a long time and will definitely be back!
Thank you, Andrew! 💕💕

We went for their Mother’s Day 3 course meal, and everything was SO GOOD!! They catered to my vegetarian needs, swapping out the meat for some other sides. It has such a cozy atmosphere — makes you feel like you’re really in Ukraine!
