The idea of a creative space where you pay only for the time spend there seems to be getting more and more popular in Ukraine.

Aram Mnatsakanov started his first business at age 38.

Chashka (Cup), a popular Chernihiv coffeehouse chain, has opened a place near PinchukArtCenter gallery in downtown Kyiv.

Kyiv has numerous affordable and great restaurants. But for those really looking to save money to buy Christmas presents for loved ones, the city center also boasts numerous places to fill a stomach for less than Hr 20. Here is a short guide to five places that serve fast and delicious food:

People refraining from meat in Kyiv have a tough time finding restaurants that cater to their dietary restrictions. However, one health-conscious eatery has now popped up in the center of Kyiv.  

 Kyiv's coffee market is becoming increasingly crowded, with unique little shops to large franchises opening some new location almost every day. And each one is looking for that edge to make them stand out. For Esperanto, its bringing a wide range of Italian tastes to those craving more than just a good espresso.

The little cafe near Lvivska square first opened in December last year and quickly gained popularity among the capital's residents.

But how Chinese is the local Chinese cuisine? 

As well as being big on entertainment, the Kyiv club scene is big business – more than 25 established clubs in the city limits easily generate more than $10 million annually and provide direct employment to around 1,000 people. 

You think it’s nothing special when you walk into Tomatoes, a tiny new eatery on Symon Petliura Street near the main railway station.
