The Spotlight on Olesia's Taverne of Richfield

Hearty Ukrainian Fare in a Historic Richfield Setting

Set inside a beautifully restored 19th-century building, Olesia's Taverne of Richfield offers a warm and inviting escape just off Broadview Road. With its rustic charm, exposed brick, and rich wood finishes, this spot blends old-world ambiance with elevated Eastern European cuisine—perfect for concert-goers looking to fuel up before the show or wind down afterward.

The menu is rooted in Ukrainian traditions, featuring flavorful classics like pierogies, borscht, schnitzel, and stuffed cabbage, alongside American favorites with a gourmet twist. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite or settling in for a leisurely dinner, Olesia’s delivers a cozy, high-quality dining experience.

Why Concert-goers love it

Conveniently located between Akron and Cleveland, Olesia’s is an ideal stop for concert-goers headed to venues like Blossom Music Center or Akron Civic Theatre. The atmosphere is relaxed but refined, making it easy to enjoy a meal without feeling rushed. Diners appreciate the quick, attentive service—especially when time is tight pre-show. Bonus: the restaurant’s spacious layout means it’s rarely too loud, even when it’s busy.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share plates and drinks before a night out
  • Solo travelers enjoying an early dinner before a must-see artist
  • Couples seeking a romantic, low-key dinner with character
  • Fans who want a lively yet intimate space to get in the concert mood

What People Say

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the menu can be a bit limited for picky eaters or those unfamiliar with Eastern European cuisine. Also, while the ambiance is charming, those in a big rush may want to alert their server early—this isn’t fast food, and the dishes are made fresh.

l Cold food. Pierogis were sautéed in rancid grease. Cod was burnt thin breading and looked like Gordon’s. Cabbage roll tasted good. Red cabbage coleslaw was tasty.
