restaurateur
Restaurant, like a beloved early child, was created from a tiny idea and grew to an unprecedented scale.
The main idea has always been family fun and hospitality. But from the very first years of our work, we have become people’s favorite spot for holding large events and humble get-togethers with friends.
We host anniversaries and weddings with enviable consistency. For 19 years of work, we have been constantly updating the interiors and decorations in the halls, which is quite difficult and costly, since they are all autonomous and each with its own history.
We are constantly trying to update our assortment of dishes so that every time our guests could try something new. We are proud of our chef Timchenko Tatiana, for her abilities to manage the team, keep up to the trends and desire to grow, despite the high professional level.
In 2020, we updated the administrative staff. The manager Veronika Chepeleva has a vast experience and a pragmatic view. We believe that Fortetsya will steadily hold the position of a family country restaurant within the city with an excellent team and service.
I really love Ukrainian restaurants, regularly visit them and think that the level of our restaurants is very high, and the guests are extremely demanding. We adhere to our standards and are always open to constructive criticism, because it makes us better.
I adore Fortetsya in summer, when the beauty of wedding and evening dresses fills the atmosphere of the restaurant with magic. Come to us in autumn and spend the day in rich colors with a glass of white mulled wine. Winter harsh days in our halls with fireplaces become as homely as can be. In spring it's good to wait for summer with us, because with the first rays of warm sun we start serving tables near the fountain: get wrapped in a blanket under the mellow sunlight with a glass of grog - that’s what our guests have taught us and what we do every year.
Come to visit our Fortetsya!
A restaurant complex with its own hotel in the middle of the Kyiv forest is only 15 minutes drive from the center.
"Fortetsya" is an enchanting place where the magic of fairytale castles is intertwined with vibrant cosmopolitan cuisine.
For 18 years now, the people of Kyiv have been celebrating weddings, birthdays and family holidays here, holding corporate events and parties.
7 separate banquet halls, a courtyard with a fountain, green avenues and forest arches are just charming.
The place will amaze you at the very first glance
