Absolutely delicious Eastern European Ukrainian cuisine Everything is so delicious This is a family-owned cafe and the owner Alexandr is very attentive to the customers My favorites are homemade potatoes, herring not too salty which is a big plus, homemade juice- kompot, and of course, must try their deserts, especially Napoleon!Hopefully, they will open another location in the northwest suburbs Love the cozy atmosphere and the service is a top-notch

Eastern European cuisine has never been much better than from here. It includes plenty of Ukrainian specialties. Cafe Dacha is one of the best places in Highland Park for ethnic food. Good choices that are priced not too bad for the quality. The menu is kind of small but has a good variety of things. A charming atmosphere is inside but the patio is also cool. It specializes in Eastern European cuisine. The menu proudly has many Ukrainian options, including beer and food. It's only open for dinner. We came in and there was plenty of room. Beer list has lots of imports. It's about $8 for a bottle, but these are big ones. An Ukrainian beer they have is Lvivske 1715, in a bottle. This has notes of apricot, cereal, citrus, ginger, and rye grain. As for the food, we were limited in choices. We got the Vinegret. It's $13 for a big bowl. This basically is a salad made with beets, carrots, green onions, peas, pickles, and potatoes. Good stuff and the starches made it filling. The rest of the menu has meaty options.Good place for exploring some not so familiar cuisines. It has pretty okay prices for being a small place with good quality food. There's not many of the food items that aren't meat, but there's a few salads for vegetarians.

Wow. I'm really impressed. Have been here twice now and I think the food is some of the best on the North Shore and the service is excellent. Favorites include:Beef Stroganoff - 5/5 - Love this over noodles Vareniki - 4/5 - these little potato dumplings are really good!Blintzes - 3/5 - these were okay, but my least favorite thing we tried. Honey cake - 5/5 - SO GOODNapoleon - 5/5 - for me, this is my favorite dessert here, but more people at the table seemed to prefer the honey cakeCherry Vareniki - 4/5 - I also liked this a lot more than others did, and especially liked eating the leftovers for breakfast the next morning. (INSERT SHEEPISH GRIN HERE)They have a nice big outdoor patio and they do have two heat lamps and blankets if you choose to eat outside.
