Guidebook for Kyiv
Food Scene
This small cafe is serving Crimean-Tatar cuisine. People say they have actually moved from Crimea after it has joined Russia. The food is amazing. Try their coffee brewed in a hot sand. Prices are extremely reasonable as well. They have a summer terrace, but it faces somewhat busy street. Booking is advisable!

In case you would like to try some Ukrainian cuisine in a touristy spot — my guess will be that "Kanapa" is the best among the restaurants on Andreevskiy decent. They have sort of fusion cuisine of course with Ukrainian emphasis.

Sightseeing
If you are around these places do not miss a walk along Peizazhna Alley - one of my favorite places in Kiev (although got a bit touristy in recent years). Great views of the river and the left bank. Buy fresh coffee from one of many small vendors, or if you are more adventures, take the concrete stairs (that go under a path) and have a small picnic on the hills overlooking the city.
