A Memorable Meal — From Appetizers to Dessert

Appetizers

You’ve already called out some standouts—and they’re well worth it:

  • Pampushky bread  

  • Golden Borscht (beets with herbed yogurt, figs, pine nuts)

  • Smoked rabbit

These reflect Molotov’s mastery of reinterpreting Ukrainian culinary traditions with thoughtful and surprising twists.

Main Courses

  • Lavash-wrapped halibut

  • Roasted cauliflower

  • Lamb ribs

Balanced, flavor-forward, and expertly executed—each dish offers a unique taste experience that celebrates both heritage and innovation.

Sip on Something Savory — Signature Cocktails

Molotov is as renowned for its cocktails as it is for its plates:

  • The bar serves infused vodkas—sometimes exotic, sometimes surprising—ranging from mushroom-infused old-fashioneds to drinks incorporating duck-fat or even ranch-dressing notes

  • At launch, they featured inventive concoctions like the Pysanky (honey-black-currant horilka) and the Version of Reality, a tequila-style Old Fashioned with smoked coconut bitters and ginger‑cayenne syrup

  • The theatrical Molotov cocktail—a flaming horilka-based sipping experience—is famed for being “incendiary” and meant to be consumed in one sip

These imaginative drinks beautifully echo the bold flavors and playful spirit of the menu.

A Sweet Ending — The Tokaji Savarine

For dessert, the Tokaji Savarine is a standout—a sophisticated treat with peach and mint jam, sautéed cherries, vanilla crème fraiche ice cream, and cardamom crème. Decadent but balanced, it’s a memorable finale to a rich meal
