Following the recently opened Tatar Bunar, another new Ukrainian restaurant is coming to London. Sino comes from Polina Sychova and chef Eugene Korolev, the latter who has worked at Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe.
The name Sino means "hay" in Ukraine, and that's reflected in the intricate launch menu which includes:
- Hay-infused wild mushroom broth
- Aubergine marinated with dill flowers, fennel and garlic served with Kyyrma bread
- Beef tartar with ceps sabayon, Jerusalem artichoke crisps and lovage oil
- Cherry glazed BBQ catfish, fried parsley root, samphire, Kovbasa sausage, dried grated mussels and bell pepper sauce
- Vareniky dumplings with ox tail, spicy beef broth, and housemade mushroom garum
- Aged walnut ice-cream with smoked plum chocolate mousse
Ukrainian mixologist Ana Reznik (previously at A Bar with Shapes for a Name) is in charge of cocktails, which include a Buckwheat Milk Punch, made with buckwheat, cardamom, vanilla and aged rum.
It's taken over the space that once belonged to 7 Saints restaurant and in a reference to the name, you'll see hay motifs throughout.
