Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant

Ruta Ukrainian Restaurant is the pioneer Ukrainian dining establishment in the DMV area, offering a culinary journey through the flavors of Ukraine. With a mission to embody Ukrainian culture through its cuisine, Ruta presents a menu curated with traditional Ukrainian staples like Borscht, Holubtsi, and Varenyky alongside modern fusion creations. The restaurant, which commenced operations in April 2023 in Southeast Washington, DC, expanded its presence to Bethesda, Maryland, in August 2024.

The restaurant derives its name from the mystical flower, "Ruta," steeped in ancient Ukrainian folklore and traditions. Legend has it that the elusive "Red Ruta," typically yellow, transforms into a fiery red hue for a brief moment on the enchanted night of Ivana Kupala. It is believed that those who locate and pluck this flower during its crimson phase will be bestowed with true love. Ruta aspires to be your true gastronomic love, symbolizing a connection to Ukrainian heritage and mythos.
