"A perpetually long queue moves with lightning speed towards a window where two women hand out pieces of fried dough enclosing a mouth-watering sausage. The place became a local institution long before the first 'hot dog' hit town. An essential Kyiv experience."

What Kate and Kris Did

"The Kyiv Perepichka window on Bogdan Khmelnytskoho Street has always got a huge queue outside. Rain or shine, -20 and snow… there are people patiently waiting to buy this snack. Perepichka is a sausage in a doughnut. There’s no other way to describe it. However, if you ask someone from Kyiv what Ukrainian food they recommend you eat here, and they will say that."

"Often referred to as the Kyiv-style hot dog, the Kyiv perepichka is sold only at one place in the city — a hole-in-the-wall food outlet near the corner of Bohdana Khmelnytskoho and Khreshchatyk streets. Serving deep-fried dough stuffed with sausage since the 1980s, the place remains extremely popular — there’s practically always a line of customers. Enjoy one right there in the street, as busy Kyivans pass by, or line up to get one themselves."

"Perepichka, “перепічка”, aka sausage wrapped in fried dough is Ukrainan street food par excellence. For the best in the city, get in line at Kyivska Perepichka."

Michael W Travels

"After taking a couple of bites, I was really enjoying the fried dough (they could put some powdered sugar on it like a zeppole and serve it as dessert), but I did wonder when I’d get a bite with the sausage. The sausage, which was similar to a hot dog was very tasty. It had a mild flavor which went well with the fried dough. I didn’t know what to expect before giving Kyivska Perepichka a try, but I’d definitely say that it’s a really tasty, enjoyable and unhealthy meal."

Like a Local Guide

"For many years this place attracts a completely different visitors: business people and students, young and old people. They all coming here for mild sausage wrapped in deep fried dough. It's worth to try! The spot appears on the Khmelnitsky Str. 3 as the window, with the only one dish in the menu. It is Perepichka - the legendary sausage in fried dough, the must-have snack if U are the guest of Kiev."

Dominic Raynor

"Kiev's most popular street food is perepichka, which is essentially a sausage in deep-fried dough. The Kyivska Perepichka shop on the corner of Khreshchatyk Street and Khmelnytskyi Street is the place to go. The queues can be long but they move very quickly as the perepichka are rapidly handed out of a window kiosk."

Kate Dobromishev

"Kiev perepichka is considered one of the gastronomic symbols of Kiev. The secret of this fast food is in its unique recipe. Many Kyivites and guests of the city consider it a perfect snack and local attraction. Thousands of people love this sausage in yeast-raised dough, fried in deep fat."

Destinations

"Kyiv perepіchka is probably the most famous Kyiv street food. This is the well known Ukrainian hotdog, that became a hallmark of the city long time ago. Perepichka is the perfect thing to eat while out and about and on the go or you can stand at one of the nearby tables to taste it."

"And the last but not the least, not the restaurant but for sure legendary Kyiv fast food - perepichka. According to some locals, it's a main thing to try for somebody who visit capital for the first time. It seems that the queue next to the small window never gets shorter during ages. And it's not a surprise, cause the unique taste of sausage fried in a dough remains unchanged for all this time. Indeed, it's a taste of childhood for most of the citizens."
