Otakoi Ukrainian Restaurant

Melbourne's Favourite Ukrainian Restaurant

Get ready for a taste of authentic Ukrainian cuisine.

Otakoi Restaurant

Otakoi is a new Ukrainian restaurant in Melbourne - the first of its kind in the city. We opened it to share authentic Ukrainian cuisine and culture with Australians and the guests of the city of Melbourne!
 

  • Concept & Vision
    Otakoi isn’t just a dining spot; it’s a cultural space. The menu features traditional Ukrainian dishes such as borshch, varenyky, holubtsi, smoked meats, and honey cake, all presented with the warmth of Ukrainian hospitality. 
     

  • Atmosphere & Design
    The restaurant combines a cosy, homelike feeling with Ukrainian decorative elements. From wood accents to embroidered patterns and fireplace seating, every detail reflects a blend of comfort and tradition. Our guests are welcomed with a friendly family-run atmosphere, staying true to the roots of Ukrainian dining.
     

  • Community & Culture
    Otakoi is more than a business: A way for Australians to discover Ukrainian flavours, traditions, and celebrations. A supporter of Ukraine through different initiatives: fundraising events, art exhibitions and community meetings, etc.

Our Story

Meet Hanna and Micheal

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!
