Join us on the 23rd April for a Ukrainian Awakening Dinner!
Hosted at celebrated Mriya Neo Bistro with acclaimed guest chef Nika Lozovska, renowned for her Southern Ukrainian specialities.
Mriya, which translates as 'dream', is a Ukrainian neo-bistro, housed in a cosy space, manned by cheery and helpful staff who are themselves refugees.

Gastronomy wise
the south of Ukraine AWAKENS after winter earlier than other parts of the wide and diverse country. |

Nika is looking forward to bringing a menu inspired by traditional, yet modern plates from her restaurant Dizyngoff in Odesa to the “AWAKENING” dinner, fundraising for Legacy of War Foundation.
NB Menu may be subject to change
Dizyngoff is in the centre of the southern Ukrainian port city and has remained open throughout the war despite nearby rocket attacks, checkpoints, sporadic shortages of certain fresh products, frequent power outages and the loss of staff and customers. Lozovska, described as a symbol of the irrepressible resilience which Odesa is renowned for, has been featured on CNN’s Amanpour, Al Jazeera, Sky News and other global outlets. She frequently collaborates with other chefs to highlight Ukrainian cuisine and wines. (Credit Michael Bociurkiw, Kyiv Post)
The AWAKENING Dinner will be followed by an auction of artworks from a few top Ukrainian artists to raise funds with all profits going to support the work of Legacy of War Foundation.
The Foundation has raised over £1m for their partners and programs in Ukraine, supporting marginalized communities including women, children, people with disabilities and LGBTQ+ organisations. They've supplied over 30 tons of specialist aid and medical vehicles, and have helped more than 10000 Ukrainians access healthcare and emergency support. Their current focus is on long-term solutions to creating lasting impact for Ukrainians - including their newest Futures Project - a project that both builds in-country capacity for prosthetists, physiotherapists, and psychologists, and provides careers for those with disabilities whose life experience makes them uniquely suited for the roles. By 2030, Legacy of War Foundation-trained professionals with disabilities will be providing rehabilitation to 1 million service users around the world.
