The True & Local festival of local gastronomy opens new regional tastes on the map of Ukraine. During the two days of the festival, you will have a possibility to explore and celebrate Bessarabian gastronomy.

Gastronomic Bessarabia is the south of Odessa region. Do you think there is the same forshmak and salted sprat as in Odessa? That's not it. Mirudia, meat delicacies, honey, sheep cheese, paprika, lamb, bell peppers and eggplants. And this is just the beginning.
