| When we arrived at the main entrance of the Premier Palace, the
hotel’s façade a blend of Art Nouveau and Art Deco, three
traditional costumed people welcomed us dressed in the mesmerizing bold colors
of the folklore of their land. The ladies were attractive with wreath of
flowers in their hair, one holding a tray with a loaf of bread and the man a
tray of wine. The Ukrainian culture is personified through more than 110 ethnic
groups that are living today peacefully in this country and are representing
the rich and diverse heritage of a land that has been formed and challenged
since the 5th century.

| ... One of the original two buildings that make today the
Premier Palace Hotel belonged to Prince Dimitri Zhevakhov, a colonel in the
Russian Cavalry, whose family roots went back to the legendary Kartlos. He was
a hero from the Caucasus region, leader of the Georgian people and the
great-grandson of the biblical Japheth, the third son of Noah. Our
accommodations were on the 7th and 8th ‘Executive Floor’, granting us
not only plenty of privacy, but also access to butler service and a splendid
view over the distinctive golden domes of Kiev.

| ... Butler Mr. Ivan took over the service for the day on
the river. Having worked for a Princess for years on her yacht, he had seen
many of the illustrious harbors of the world and proved once again not only his
professionalism but also his background as yacht butler and team player. Mr.
Ivan has an eye for seeing things that could be improved upon and goes ahead
and does them, he never needs to be told, or if so only once. It was his
attention to details that we all admired here on the river while he presented
an expertly packed lunch, which included canapés, caviar, crawfish and
other delicacies

| Executive Chef Igal Kovriga has set out to maximize the deep-rooted
tradition of the Ukraine of using any occasion, no matter how small, to bring
together the regional variations of the Mediterranean with the traditional fare
of the native Ukrainian culture, for the benefit of his clientele. The
restaurant is new to Kiev, an elegant city dotted with imperial structures of
bygone days. In choosing the venue, up on the eighth floor of the Premier
Palace Hotel, the restaurant takes advantage of imposing views of this fabulous
city and all its visual candy. Architecture aside, food is the main attraction
here and Chef Igal and his talented team make this an unforgettable gastronomic
experience. ...

| Chef Igal’s impressive history of experience makes him a sort of
Culinary Ambassador taking in influences from corners of the globe such as
London, Paris, Istanbul, Eilat, and Tokyo including several Michelin Star rated
restaurants. His presentation for us this evening was none-the-less especially
inspired, starting with Terracotta Salad, a colorful display of dandelion
greens, edible Nasturtiums, fresh figs and fresh buffalo mozzarella. The
natural spiciness of the flowers and greens provided the necessary spark to
ignite the sweet figs and buffalo mozzarella with enough fire to call for a
dousing of wine.
