TRYZUB, the name of this restaurant, means trident in Ukrainian, and it is a symbol of national identity for all Ukrainians. Millions of Ukrainians have perished through-out the centuries in the struggle for the freedom that this symbol signifies. The largest Tryzub in the world is found in the four story brickwork on the exterior of this building. Our mission is to create a Ukrainian restaurant which will present Ukrainian culture and culinary tradition in a pleasing sophisticated modern way. We offer you traditional Ukrainian cuisine with a fresh modern twist, adorned by the natural colorful components that we hope will help us eat healthfully and strengthen our connection to mother nature’s pantry. You will see some of the same natural vegetable based colors (the Carpathian Hutzul colors) that appear in our dishes in the ethnic art, such as the embroideries, wood inlays and pysanky (Easter eggs) on display through-out Tryzub. Feel free to check out our historical displays which depict the entire 1000 year history of Ukrainian civilization. We hope to uphold the Ukrainian traditions of great food and unabashed hospitality

Thank you for coming“Smachnoho “ Bon Appetite and “Budmo” Cheers

The 1000 year History of Ukraine is depicted in the dis-plays in Tryzub, including actual arftifacts from each era

The history of Ukraine begins over a thousand years ago with the powerful empire of Ukraine in the ninth century. The Cossack nation, medieval Europe’s first democracy, came into existence in the middle ages . Later Ukraine flourished as part of Austria-Hungary and unfortunately deteriorated as a captive na-tion in the Soviet Union. Ukraine is the largest country in Europe but is situated at a crossroads, often serving as the battleground between European powers to the west, the Asian Horde to the east, Scandinavia to the north and Muslim powers to the south. Because of this, Ukraine has had difficulty in establishing its national government. In 1932 millions of Ukrainians died in a forced famine, the Holodomor, created by Joseph Stalin’s regime and forced collectivization.

Even just recently Ukraine was invaded by Russia, which now illegally occupies Crimea and parts of eastern Ukraine. According to the Budapest memorandum of 1992 , in which Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons, the United States, Britain and (ironically) Russia are obligated to defend the territorial integrity of Ukraine, but in reality the international response has been tepid at best

Nevertheless, Ukrainians remain optimistic and cheerful, as is evidenced by their beautiful traditional folk art, their hospitality and their strong desire to share their delightful cuisine
