Meet Hanna and Micheal
Our Story
Otakoi was born from a love story.
Hanna, a Ukrainian refugee, arrived in Melbourne carrying memories of home and a lifelong dream of opening her own restaurant. She met Micheal, a passionate local chef, and they fell in love, bonding over a shared vision. They decided to combine her financial skills and heritage with his culinary talent to create a taste of Ukraine on Chapel Street.
There is a saying that every meal tells a story, and at Otakoi, we believe that to be true. Our story isn't just about food; it’s about a journey across the globe, a love that bridged two cultures, and a dream nurtured by the incredible power of Dream that comes true!
The Letter "Ї"
The story of the name "OTAKOЇ"
OTAKOЇ, draws its name from a joyful exclamation.
In Ukrainian, "Отакої!" (pronounced approximately "oh-TAH-koh-yee!") is an expression of surprise, wonder, or even a slightly cheeky "wow!"
The inclusion of the letter "Ї" (yi) in the name is a special nod to the Ukrainian alphabet, setting it apart and immediately signaling the restaurant's cultural roots.
This unique letter, with its double dot, is a proud marker of the Ukrainian language, and by featuring it, OTAKOЇ creates a strong connection to our Ukrainian heritage.
