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 throughout 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 throughout 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
T
he 1000 year History of Ukraine is depicted in the displays 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 nation 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
