Molotov Kitschen + Cocktails

25 New & Exciting Restaurant Openings To Look Forward To In 2023 - The Infatuation

"Molotov Kitschen and Cocktails is an Eastern European restaurant from the team behind Denver’s Misfit Snackbar. Misfit became a local favorite for its personality-filled menu—one dish is simply titled “my f*cking burger”—and unexpected ingredient pairings, like brussel sprouts with cranberry char siu and pork and beans with a honey lavender glaze. But with Molotov, the chef is focusing on the Ukrainian dishes and flavors like braised duck and sour cherry borscht and rabbit in a clay pot with creamed mushrooms and pickled shallots. The space is also filled with odes to Eastern European and Ukrainian culture, including a large floral art piece that resembles traditional Ukrainian flower crowns, photos of the chef’s grandmothers, and vintage wheat-pasted posters on the walls." - anne cruz
