krisek's travel recommendations

The Panorama restaurant on the seventh floor of the Hotel Opera offered great views of the Opera House, the Townhall tower and domes of a few churches sticking out of the old town roofs. They had free wifi access, which was rather patchy - the connection was not fast, and devices kept losing the network, as well the password would expire and then re-validate itself spontaneously. Their local wine ranged from UAH25 to UAH60 per glass, the Norwegian cheese soup with baby shrimp was thick and tasty for UAH45, and various pasta types with a range of sauces was about UAH60. Their espresso was short and fine.bIn the summer, the terrace opens and it is apparently recommended to make a booking.
