Tatar Bunar is a Ukrainian restaurant at 152–154 Curtain Road in Shoreditch. Opened in 2025, it combines a long open kitchen, a covered rear terrace and contemporary Ukrainian ceramics in a room designed for generous shared meals.
Borscht, varenyky and potato pancakes introduce recognisable traditions, while pickled cherry tomatoes with lemon yoghurt bring sweetness, acidity and freshness. Bread can be paired with seasoned butter, sunflower oil, lard or forshmak to begin the table gradually.
Banosh, meat, fish and vegetable dishes provide more substantial choices, with slow cooking and fermentation adding depth. Portions are suited to sharing, encouraging a group to compare comforting staples with less familiar regional combinations.
Ukrainian wine sits alongside cocktails using dill, sea buckthorn and other distinctive flavours. Tatar Bunar is best for an exploratory dinner in which several diners order broadly and experience the food as a communal spread.
