during the war there were fewer sellers, but it's still a magical place where you can buy anything from North Face knockoffs to good fish and rennet cheese. Those are strangely cheaper than in a super market. I recommend beef there on Saturday, fresh slaughter on site. cheap

Absolute heaven on earth for people looking for authentic and organic foods. The market is huge, crowded and hard to maneuver before you get accustomed. It is part of the charm. Here you will find all fruits, vegetables, berries, meets, fish, milk products etc that Ukraine has to offer. They also have product from neighboring countries like Georgia, Moldova and Turkey.

When I stumbled unexpectedly the first time I flipped a lid. This place is brimming with life, spices and buildings separate to each other for different markets.There is a building for dried meats,one for seafood with fish jumping waiting to be purchased, it's endless and you need a full day to just walk and look before you would even consider buying anything it's that overwhelming. I since found out that this market is famous throughout the whole Soviet Union.It is an absolute must.!!!

amazing market. the best place to go and get whatever food you need. they are very organized and have separate areas for different type of products; beef, pork, lamb, chicken, dairy, cured goods, honey. you can expect to get the best prices here and goods you'll not find anywhere else I was able to get some fresh from the cow milk here for 50 cents a liter, it was great.

Huge market. From food to clothing items can be purchased here. Most of the food items from various sellers were found to be fairly fresh with sometimes price differences for the same item depending on the seller. If you are not in a hurry you can save a bunch by taking time to look all over the market before making a purchase. Inside the market was fairly clean however, some of the streets surrounding the market were littered with refuse that definitely was an eye sore with attention quite needed. In all it was a decent market with different boutiques and restaurants in the surroundings. Update July 30th, 2021: As an update to my earlier review, a lot has changed in terms of surroundings and stalls added to this market. The changes are remarkable and actually beautify the market! The Tram tracks and stops had been replaced and now it's like night and day compared to what it was when I first wrote my review. Kudos!

An absolutely must see and must be in Odessa. This place is full of people - locals and tourists (you can chat with locals, since they are talkative). You can buy here absolutely everything - exotic fruit, spices, seafood, as well as local ones- fresh watermelons, grapes, tomatoes. What is not nice about this place is the smell in the place where meat is. And the worst thing is the fact that majority of stalls closes around 5PM, and there's information that it's working till 7PM.

Anything you need, you can find at this market for an affordable price. It's a confluence between different coulinaire cultures. From fresh first to brand new clothes, from different meat types to all types of cheeses.

Clean shopping centre with budget brands and good selection of groceries. It's not a fancy mall still great place to visit.

A big local market in the heart of the city with chipset prices. Can be very crowded, traffic jam in the rush hours. Tricks, cheats and thieves are present.

Good shopping centre with wide variety of different shops, most of those are clothing and boots ones.

There are variety of shops and boutiques. Nearby you can found the famous market Privoz and a lot of shops

Reminds me of an 80s American mall, but not bad, just a little plain.

It's a nice mall but a lot of the shops are closed

Simply terrible. Dirty with atrocious access roads and prices above normal.

Nice place in Central Odessa if you go there you will see and must take photos 📸

Beautiful. Just walk around and enjoy

Very nice. Brings out old memories.

I can't believe it. I saw the Russian movie 12 Chairs. It was funny. Mel Brooks, Dom DeLuise in it. Now I stumble on a statue in City Garden Park of the chair Kisa Vorobyaninov (Ron Moody) and character Ostap Bender (Frank A. Langella Jr.) looked for.

😌

The monument to the 12th Chair, dedicated to Ilf and Petrov, famous authors of the novel “Twelve Chairs”, is located in the center of Southern Palmira, in the City Park on Deribassovska Street. The monument was opened on April 1, 1999. This monument is one of the favorite places of citizens and guests in the whole city. The monument is a little chair that is placed on the marble pedestal. Ear the chair there is a suitcase that belongs to Ostap Beder. On the back of the chair you can read the most famous expressions from the novel: “How much for opium for the people?”, “Kissia and Ossia were here”, “All the contraband is produced in Odessa on the Mala Arnautska Street” etc. There is also a phrase written on the pedestal “Citizens of Odessa – Ilf and Petrov”. The chair is famous for the fact that visitors can sit on it and take beautiful pictures. One of the local citizens also thought of a great way to make profit: he is offering to take picture on the chair with the hat and the scarf.

It is situated in a beautiful park Every day now i walk by. Many people sit and have their pictures taken Very popular for everyone!

This place is just majestic. Absolutely beautiful and astounding work of architecture. The surrounding location and water fountain are also magnificent. I saw Carmen and the tickets were extremely affordable for the masterful performance. This was my first Opera viewing and it was absolutely delightful. I felt very dapper for that evening. This is a must-see in Odessa and I urge you to see an opera while you visit, the acoustics and seating were phenomenal. I would do this again as a first-time goer to the Opera.

Spectacular architecture with very nice outside settings not far from the beach. I visited it in October 2022, and finally, watched Opera Turandot in March 2025. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Odessa National Academic Theater of Opera and Ballet is a stunning architectural masterpiece and a cultural gem of Ukraine. The interior is richly decorated, offering visitors a sense of grandeur and elegance that enhances every performance. Attending a show here is both visually and emotionally captivating, making the experience truly unforgettable. It’s a must-visit destination for anyone who appreciates world-class performing arts and historic theaters.

Amazing place, awesome location, it’s in the heart of the city, saw one musical show there, whole experience is mind blowing, the building is mesmerising 😍👌

Worthy of 5 stars. It’s a beautiful opera house. Very accessible. Decent prices. Relaxed atmosphere. I saw Madame Butterfly. Surprised me how few people dress up here. Appreciative audience. Very good singers

My wife and I were there watching the opera Carmen. We had the pleasure of sitting in a box. An incredible atmosphere, an architecturally very interesting building. In the breaks between the files you can have a good look at the inside of the opera and take photos. The staff were very helpful in finding the right place.

Took a guided tour but unfortunately it was in Russian and not in English. However, I still enjoyed the tour because of the fascinating interior architecture designs of the theatre. Was built in the 1800s making it one of the oldest opera theatres in the world and it is the most famous landmark of Odessa that you definitely want to visit. The Swan Lake was being preformed in the theatre when I was in Odessa but unfortunately tickets were sold out!

Amazing park, nice atmosphere. You can walk and take enjoy here

Great park for walking around. Several fountains, monuments and benches looking like open books make it a nice park to both chill and stroll. There are several stands selling drinks and snacks so you won't go hungry either.

The park is big, you can see the port, also you can take the cabin to the hill above. A little dangerous to ride the cabin, but the view is nice. A lot of flowers and cats. There are lots of benches, and street stores. Very nice!

Lovely park, well kept, wide open spaces, great for kids, places of interest, no hassle from people, areas of peace and tranquility, fountains, memorials, history, culture, great views across the bay

At the main entrance you can walk through the Avenue of the Heroes.

Very beautiful, tidy, recently repaired park, has wide alleys, place for skating, stunning sea views

A very good park for walking and jogging. It has the Chornomorets football stadium in the center, which is the main football team representing the city. The park is neatly maintained and as clean as it can get. It even has several fountains around it, and pretty benches shaped like open books(which contains details about the famous ukranian writers) near the monument of Shevchenko. There's also an open air theatre inside which is a must visit during summer days.

I went here with my kids thinking it would be kind of lame (but amazing for children). I was completely wrong. It was very interesting and fun for adults too. In fact I saw some adults having more fun than their kids (I won't say I wasn't one of them:) ) we ended up staying there until closing and had a blast, both kids and 4 adults between 25-38

Very educational for children... and for adults it reminds you how science is an interesting part of ones common sense and knowledge...i enjoyed it very much.

I am really like this place but other time I'd like to visit it with my kids. It was spontaneous decision to visit something different than I can find in my city. I love Odessa, and I adore each time when I get here for any reason. I recommend this place to visit with kids, they will absolutely love it!

One of the best scientific museums I have seen. Many different experiments physics, optics, mechanics, acustica and other interesting staff. Unfortunately no translation in english so find some locals for you to translate. Very good for kids and thous who in love with science.

I was there with my son of age 11. He said that it was his best experience in Odessa. And he has seen several science museums around the world. So the museum can be proud of such a high level of interactivity and novel approach to science teaching

Super cool place!!! Doesn't metter how old are you - you will enjoy every minute there. 2 hours in the Museum flew in couple minutes! Very interesting!

Very interesting place, quite unusual. It's a good place for people that are hard to entertain. I would say that it's also a good place for people of all ages. Definitely a must see if you are bored.

Tasty chocolates and friendly service, although nothing super special. I didn't try their drinks or cakes as I didn't have time, I heard that the hot chocolate was very nice. Slightly on the expensive side by Ukrainian standards, but OK for westerners.

Cozy hangout place with nice romantic European atmosphere. You can experience a glimpse of Lviv without being in Lviv. There is a whole array of chocolates in varying shapes and flavors along with drinks. I had a dark chocolate latte and it was great. A tad over sweetened but dark chocolates bitterness helped it to balance. You can also get a table service here by the way. English menu is available and the pricing is very reasonable as well. I would recommend the Lviv style cheesecake.

Incredible place for a coffee and a little indulgence. Reasonably priced and friendly staff. The in shop coffee is amazing with a nice dessert to pair. Been here four times in two weeks!! A++

Nice service, specially Thanks to Ms.Anna, really friendly, helpful and have a beautiful smile. Thank you Anna for your amazing service

There isn’t any English talking personal. It is hard to communicate. Also it is harder to make an order cause they don’t care nor follow customers. Hot chocolate is made with powder and water. It was a big disappointment.

Good food and drinks but not a good service

An amazing place to start by for some chocolate and coffee. Some of the staff knows English which makes ordering much easier. Would definitely recommend!

Nice park view. Food is good, but I've had much better in Odessa. Skip the meze platter. Tasty soups & caviar, though! 3 stars for food, an extra star for the park view. My favourite thing about this place was the vibe dining al fresco when musicians started playing in the park. Lovely experience of Odessa in summer.

We had a wonderful experience here. The meze set was nice and pork chops were excellent. My only recommendation for the is to stop serving the quinoa salad hot, the flavors just don't blend well.

We really enjoyed this restaurant: first of all it's very romantic (even with our 18 month old joining us), and the food was beyond tasty. The salads were amazing, the mussels and steak super tasty, and the Napoleon is a unique take on a dessert classic that is worth coming here on its own. We'll definitely return again if we come back to Odessa.

Best restaurant ever! I am a regular guest from Switzerland. Very good kitchen, nice service - but also the historically furnished rooms are unique. I can highly recommend Klarabara !! Alexander

Great food with affordable prices. A must to try in Odessa!

I liked this restaurant the best of all the ones we tried in Odessa on this trip. My American fiance tried borscht at 3 different restaurants in Odessa and said this was best... and I will admit that my own borscht is not as good as theirs :) Our server was a real pro, and when we were there there was a performer singing in French. The live music was perfect - not too loud and created a very pleasant atmosphere. They even had a great odorless bug spray that was truly odorless and worked. Food all around was good and presented beautifully. Thank you!

Very, very nice place to visit. The main dinning room is divided into several areas, which makes it nice to talk with friends. I take my Russian lessons there with a friend twice a week. One time I was there and wanted breakfast, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, peppers , onions and cheese, it was not on the menu, but they were happy to make it that way for me and was excellent! The outside glass covered terrace is awesome looking out into City Park. I really enjoyed the fire place they had going when I was there. Will be going there many times.

(Translated by Google) Good evening. Placed an order for home. We ordered 2 burgers, noodles, nuggets, shawarma, fries and sushi. I liked everything except the noodles (very salty, a lot of soy sauce.). Prices are average. Delivery is fast. But in general, believe me deliciously))! Thanks to the chefs! (Original) Добрый вечер. Делали заказ домой. Заказали 2 бургера, лапшу, нагетсы, шаурму, фри и суши. Всё понравилось, кроме лапши( очень солёная, много соевого соуса.). Цены средние. Доставка быстрая. А в целом, вери смачно))! Спасибо поварам!

(Translated by Google) Very tasty pizza, great rolls, everything is always fresh, tasty and fast. Polite operators, couriers deliver quickly. Very pleased with this delivery. Now only with you) (Original) Очень вкусная пицца, великолепные роллы, всегда все свежее, вкусно и быстро. Вежливые операторы, курьеры быстро довозят. Очень довольны данной доставкой. Теперь только с Вами)

(Translated by Google) I ordered Ukrainian lunch. I was generally confused by everything: the hodgepodge was so hot that you had to wait 15 minutes until it became normal temperature, but the dumplings, on the contrary, were cold. and okay, if they were just cold, they would also stick together into a huge lump of dough. All in all, not the best lunch of my life (Original) заказывала украинский ланч. смутило вообще все: солянка была настолько горячая, что минут 15 надо было ждать пока она станет нормальной температуры, а вот вареники наоборот были холодные. и ладно если бы просто холодные, так они еще и слиплись в огромный комок теста. в общем, не самый лучший обед в моей жизни

(Translated by Google) I really didn't like it. Pre-ordered for Valentine's Day. They demanded 50% advance payment. OK. We ordered on time - we were half an hour late. OK. If the food is delicious, it's all the little things. But! The cheese pizza arrived with cheap, regular hard cheese and a little bit of Dor Blue. There was cheap sausage in the meat shop - they removed it completely so as not to spoil the taste. The rolls are not rolled very tightly - they fall apart. In Philadelphia, fish with a fatty layer is the cheapest part, and there is very little cheese inside, one cucumber. Another roll, with avocado inside, arrived weathered, very cold, as if from the refrigerator; and the avocado was black. But they put disposable plates 👏 (Original) Очень не понравилось. Делали предзаказ на День Святого Валентина. Потребовали 50% предоплаты. Ок. Заказали на время - опоздали на пол часа. Ок. Если еда вкусная - это все мелочи. Но! Сырная пицца приехала с дешевым, обычным твёрдым сыром и немного с кусочками дор-блю. В мясной была дешевая колбаса - её изъяли полностью, что-бы не портила вкус. Роллы очень не плотно скручены - разваливаются. В филадельфии рыба с жирной прослойкой - самая дешёвая часть, а сыра внутри мизер, один огурец. Другой ролл, с авокадо внутри приехал заветренный, очень холодный, как из холодильника; а авокадо было с чернотой. Зато положили одноразовые тарелки 👏

(Translated by Google) I order here periodically, in particular shawarma, it was always very decent, juicy and tasty. . We decided to place an order for several assorted dishes, but there was some kind of glitch and it wasn’t very good. They responded very quickly and well, explained the situation and offered a solution, which is a huge plus. We decided to try shawarma again, they brought, as for me, a masterpiece of this dish, as before. Delivery is fast. Worthwhile delivery with high level service. (Original) Заказываю периодически здесь, в частности шаурму, было все разы весьма достойно, сочно и вкусно. . Решили сделать заказ на несколько ассорти, вышел какой-то сбой и она была не очень. Очень быстро и хорошо отреагировали, объяснили ситуацию и предложили решение, за что огромный плюс. Решили повторно попробовать шаурму, привезли, как по мне, шедевр этого блюда, как и раньше. Доставка быстрая. Стоящая доставка с сервисом на высоком уровне.

(Translated by Google) One of the best deliveries in the city. We ordered rolls and pizza and drinks for a corporate party. The smart courier delivered everything on time, a polite, well-mannered boy. Everything was delicious, everyone liked it, everyone was satisfied. The pizza arrived hot (4 cheese pizza was my love from the first bite)), the rolls were bomb, all the products were fresh, the quality was excellent. Compote is like homemade. We will order more. Well done guys, keep it up. (Original) Одна из лучших доставок в городе. Заказывали на корпоратив роллы и пиццу, напитки. Курьер умничка все доставил вовремя вежливый , воспитанный мальчик. Все вкусно, всем понравилось, все остались довольны .Пицца приехала горячая ( пицца 4 сыра моя любовь с первого кусочка)) , роллы бомбические, все продукты свежие, качество на высоте. Компот как домашний. Будем заказывать еще. Молодцы ребята, так держать.

(Translated by Google) Unbelievably delicious, very fast and customer-oriented. Service at the highest level! The best delivery. (Original) Нереально вкусно, очень быстро и клиентоориентировано. Сервис на высшем уровне! Лучшая доставка.

2 stars for good cake and 3 for decorations. Other foods are not tasty. Staff trying take your money for bad serves. Touristic place for one visit.

Great interior and a big sitting area in the Opera garden. Prices are less than average in the city centre. Food is good. I have had both breakfast, lunch and dinner here. Good and efficient service

Not the cheapest place to eat but the service, location and atmosphere are great. You get to eat outside in Opera's garden if you wish. When it's hot, they create share and a breeze to make their outdoor seating wonderful. Also the serving of food is very pretty. You need at least 200 gvn per person.

Very good atmosphere, relaxed place, good salad, Kachapuri and the mussels with curry were delicious and perfect for our taste, but be aware a little bit spicy. We even ordered extra bread to finish this amazing curry sauce

I went to this restaurant as it has good reviews in tripadvisor. The food is excellent and the service as well. They have english menu and even though the waiter didn't speak proper english he tryed his best. They have tables inside and outside in the backyard. It is quite nice to sit outside in nature when sunny and warm. Highly recommended.

Very nice place with good oddessian food. We ate stavrytka, legal, olivie salad with salmon and fries.

Nice place for tasty desserts and food. Prices are average.
