Tasty Slavic Dishes

More Slavic Favorites at the Festival

Our Orlando Slavic food festival menu goes far beyond the classics. Come hungry and discover authentic dishes from across the Slavic world:

• Borscht — the iconic ruby-red beet soup, slow-simmered with cabbage and herbs and served with a swirl of sour cream and a slice of garlic bread.
• Vareniki & Pierogi — soft half-moon dumplings stuffed with potato, cheese, cabbage, or sweet cherries, pan-finished in butter and onions.
• Golubtsi — tender cabbage rolls wrapped around savory meat and rice, baked in a rich tomato sauce.
• Blini — thin, delicate crepes served with sour cream, jam, honey, or a generous spoonful of caviar.
• Draniki — crispy golden potato pancakes, fried to order and served with sour cream.
• Pirozhki — warm hand-held baked buns filled with potato, cabbage, meat, or apple. Perfect to eat on the go.
• Syrniki — lightly sweet farmer's-cheese pancakes, dusted with powdered sugar and topped with jam.
• Herring Under a Fur Coat — the classic layered salad of herring, beets, potato, and egg under a vivid blanket of dressing.
• Kotlety — juicy pan-fried meat patties served with buttery mashed potatoes — true home cooking.
• Medovik — the legendary honey cake: dozens of thin baked layers stacked with silky sour-cream custard.

Wash it all down with house-made kvass, fruity kompot or mors, a glass of honey medovukha (21+), or a steaming cup of tea poured from a traditional samovar. The Slavic feast is calling.
