pop-up sequences: memories

Feb 6, 2025

renowned chefs Yurii Kovryzhenko and Alena Solodovichenko came together for a special culinary reunion at our exclusive pop-up sequences: memories event

Their childhood friendship in Kyiv, Ukraine, served as the inspiration for a menu that masterfully reinterpreted the cozy flavors of their youth in a sophisticated, contemporary setting. This special dinner at YOY Restaurant was a voyage through nostalgia and culinary artistry.

A carefully planned six-course meal was served to the guests, which included dishes influenced by traditional Ukrainian cooking but with a modern twist, such as tender beetroot flowers with goat cream cheese and tender beef cheek with blackcurrant gravy. Renowned sommelier Olena Pavlenko led a fine French wine pairing that was the ideal accompaniment to the experience. Each dish was enhanced by her choice, which demonstrated a harmonious fusion of wine and cuisine. This special occasion honored our dedication to providing distinctive, cooperative dining experiences. Keep an eye out for upcoming pop-up scenes and unique culinary occasions!
