Who doesn’t like to eat? Especially if it’s delicious, calorie-free, though not always considered useful. Well, honestly, who will give up a hearty hot dog or delicious French fries? Many people think that fast food is an unhealthy rope that harms, and to add something to your diet is unwise and dangerous. Of course, what is prepared in the wrong conditions and cheap products is a problem, but there are dishes that stand out not only in taste but also in value and quality. Why do most people forget that putting fast food on the label is «harmful», they refuse to taste delicious, and given the constant improvement of recipes, even a useful snack?

What is Fast Food? The literal translation is «quick food». And it’s not necessarily useless food. «Fast» means exactly the kind of snack that you can take with you, or quickly eat and run on business. These can be salads, burritos, burgers, falafel, hot dogs, rolls, sandwiches or other options.
Today, most Zhytomyr establishments are gradually improving fast food – reducing the amount of useless ingredients by using «healthy» ingredients instead. Recently, many vegan dishes, as well as dishes made with the addition of vegetables, lean meats, with grain bread and rolls, are emerging. Their caloric content is much lower, so there is no damage to the food. Is there fast food in Zhytomyr? Oh, and it’s delicious!
«Papa Dogs»
It is hard not to notice the small but cozy Papa Dogs establishment in Shoduary Park. Here they know everything about making hot dogs for every taste: cheeses, vegans, various sauces, supplements and sausage options. The buns in the cafe are baked on their own, which adds a special taste. Prices are affordable: for hot dogs they range from 29 to 55 UAH. We tried the classic Stardog with milk sausage and french fries with cheese. The total check is 63 UAH.
It tastes like an incredibly soft bun, fresh and spicy with a quality sausage. Feels that the products have been carefully selected. Delicious sauce, toasted onion … Real deliciousness! Potatoes are a great side dish for hot dogs served with cheese or onions.
«SOUS»
Well, who has not heard of one of the most popular establishments in Mukhailivska street – S0US? Atmospheric and enjoyable, which pulls in a delicious burger, however, we decided to try something new and atypical there. Chose falafel – fast food for those who do not eat meat or just love chickpeas. Well, they were worth it. For an institution of this type, the price for falafel is available – 64 UAH.
It tastes great, especially with sweet sauce and spicy jalapeno. Falafel is not at all dry and very satisfying – you forget about hunger literally after the first ball. If you are a fan of such food, you should definitely try it in SOUS.
«Street Lunch»
Not far from the center of Zhytomyr, on Rylsky Street, there is an establishment that gives a great mood and is one of the best places to have a lunch break. While we were waiting in line for our burritos and potatoes, we saw many satisfied customers. The specifics of the establishment are atypical for our city: here you can enjoy salads, sandwiches and a delicious burrito, which allows you to forget about hunger almost all day long. The cost of the order is 75 UAH.
We took the big burrito, but we did not expect that there would be so much of these delicacies … This size of rye really does allow you to eat with pleasure and continue to go to work or study, so here is such a rush at lunch time. Potatoes are crisp, interesting curly shape. It is possible to eat both in the institution and to take with you. Pss .. Smile! Take care of you and pack your food with you to keep it hot. So do not put labels on food, taste better and enjoy life!
