The Philosophy

Eastern European event catering and specialty foods with a warm, handcrafted sensibility in Asheville.

SLAVA is a Ukrainian-inspired café, bakery, and catering company founded by Svitlana, an Asheville-based chef whose kitchen has always been as much about connection as it is about craft. Her menus draw on the rich culinary traditions of Ukraine and Europe, featuring handcrafted pastries, elegant cakes and desserts, and thoughtfully composed savory offerings centered on dishes that carry genuine cultural weight. Borscht made with care. Varenyky stuffed by hand. Food that arrives at the table with a story behind it.

Svitlana's approach to catering is deeply personal. Whether she is serving an intimate gathering, a wedding celebration, or a corporate event, she works closely with each client to shape an experience that reflects who they are and what the occasion means to them. For couples, especially, that attention to detail and warmth translates into a hospitality experience that guests feel long after the last course is cleared.
