The Borsch is THE bistro in Vinohrady discrict of Prague. The scope of the project was to reconstruct basement space of Sri-Lanka style restaurant into modern Ukrainian bistro in both limited time and budget.

My main inspiration was the vision of two brave enthusiasts with a mission to promote Ukrainian culture through cuisine. And the goal was to create a place that would be modern, but somehow subconsciously familiar and traditional.

We had a limited budget, but absolutely limitless passion and (thankfully) friends willing to help. And as a result, we have created a cozy and joyful meeting place for many people. Artworks on the walls and in backrooms are creation of Mariko Gelman.
