Fish&Pussycat Sushi Bar
the open sushi counter with chef-driven fusion rolls
A playful sushi bar with a polished edge—clean lines, low light, and a steady tempo. Chefs move fast, the room stays chatty, and service is crisp. Ideal for lingering over rolls and a good drink.
In Besarabka, Kyiv. Easy to fold into a morning or a longer afternoon; there's usually something else worth a stop within a few minutes' walk.
