Odessa’s newest Party place, that few know about…for now
Tuesday, June 16th, 2009
Even the most jaded Odessa local, expat or tourist will enjoy the new restaurant cafe Kakadu (Russian for the tropical bird Cockatoo) located in the courtyard just behind McDonalds on Deribasovskaya and Krasnyi Lane.
Kakadu has a genuinely eclectic menu and is reasonably priced with generous portions of food (our favorite so far, is the Caesar salad). The interior of the restaurant has the sort of masculine style of expensive martini bars one would find in New York, yet it maintains an intimate and romantic atmosphere. The courtyard seating evokes the feeling one gets sitting outside a villa in Italy or Western Europe and is a nice respite steps from Deribasovskaya.
Kakadu has just started a “Ladies Night” every Thursday evening (free drinks with a coupon) and if the past two Thursdays are an indication, the event is gaining in popularity as some of the most beautiful women in Odessa are starting to congregate there. Let’s just hope that the place doesn’t become too popular and they start charging a cover.
