  • Pork Steak at Restaurant Amadeus - Lviv
    Pork Steak at Restaurant
    Amadeus

    Send Photo to a Friend
    On our last evening in Lviv in May 2008 we chose Restaurant Amadeus for dinner. We had read some good reviews about it and decided to give it a try.

    It is a Viennese style restaurant and cafe with a wooden outdoor terrace. Both a smoking and a non smoking room with all together less than 10 tables are available, therefore a reservation might be recommended.

    As we arrived early we were lucky enough to get a free table. Live jazz style music was preformed by two older guys. The music was still quiet enough for conversation.

    The menu is available in English and offers a wide variety of Ukrainian, Polish and international cuisine. Just note that side dishes have to be ordered separately. Prices are above average, therefore you will probably mainly meet tourists here.

    I opted for a Restaurant Amadeus (9 UAH). To drink I had a Pint of local Lvivske Premium beer (9 UAH). The steak was delicious and filling.

  • Pork shashlik at Cafe Bar Nostalgia - Lviv
    Pork shashlik at Cafe Bar
    Nostalgia
    by HORSCHECK, 3 more photos
    Send Photo to a Friend
    On our last evening of our first visit of Lviv in June 2007 we found by chance the Cafe Bar Nostalgia which is actually a restaurant.

    On entering the restaurant we realised that the staff spoke only limited English and the menu was in Ukrainian only. As we can both read cyrillic letters and speak some Russian we decided to give it a try.

    The restaurant consists of two nicely decorated rooms with not too many tables.

    It wasn't too difficult to find an appropriate dish on the Ukrainian menu, as many meals have international names and can be identified by converting the cyrillic into latin letters.

    I finally decided on a pork shashlik (16,20 UAH) with rice (6,50 UAH) as side order. To drink I opted for a Pint of Lvivske beer (6,00 UAH).

    The meal was very yummy and due to the fact that probably mainly locals visited this upscale restaurant we enjoyed our evening in an Ukrainian atmophere.

    One late morning in June 2007 we popped into Cafe Tsukernia Freska which looked inviting to us. It is a small cafe with large windows and a nice little outdoor terrace.

    The building itself seems to date back to a much earlier time as beautiful frescoes are integrated in the room decorations.

    Cafe Freska offers a great selection of coffees and teas as well as homemade sweets. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cosy.

    The staff was attentive and friendly; they don't speak any English though. As I just had breakfast before I only ordered a pot of English tea which came with a little bisquit. With only 15 UAH the price was reasonable.

    Rudyi Kit (Red Cat) is a cafe and cake shop, which we visited one late afternoon in June 2007 when it was just about starting to rain.

    It is a simple furnished cafe with a glassy counters full of homemade cakes and tarts.

    Some other snacks are available as well. Downstairs is a sort of bar and disco where the local young people seem to gather.

    The prices of the cakes are by weight. I chose a piece of the tasty and filling Kievskyi cake. It is a Ukrainian speciality made of layers of merinque and chocolate. My 200 gram piece was 15,90 UAH. A cup of tea cost 6,00 UAH.

    The Kavarna Pid Synoju Flazkoju (Cafe Under the Blue Bottle) is an authentic old style Lviv cafe.

    It is located in a sort of vault room at the end of a dark winding courtyards where it allegedly exists since about the middle of the 16th century.

    The interior is decorated with many memorabilia from the Austro-Hungarian Empire era and other historic souvenirs.

    The cafe consists of only 5 tables and becomes more and more popular. So a reservation seems to be highly recommended.

    We visited it one late afternoon in June 2007 and were lucky enough to get a table. The menu offers a variety of small local dishes from the countries Lviv once used to belong to. I had a mixed salad (12,60 UAH) and a small Lvivske beer (3 UAH).

    The atmosphere in this small cafe is amazing; I can only higly recommend a visit if you get a free table. Don't miss to have a look at the toilet, also when you don't really need to go.

    Dzyga (The Spinning Top) is actually a sort of Cultural Centre with a gallery of contemporary art. The building includes a restaurant which is called Pid Klepsydoju. It consists of a smoking and a non smoking room. The rooms have vaulted ceilings and are decorated with contemporary art paintings.

    Outdoor seating is available in the dead end street and seems to be very popular in summer.

    The menu comes in a newspaper style and also includes English translations. Many Ukrainian but also international dishes and snacks are on offer.

    We shared a so called "Combined assortment" which was a mixture of cold sausages, baked meat, boiled tongue, cheese, vegetables, eggs, toasts and eggs (30 UAH). For some reason we couldn't really find the boiled tongue and the toast on our plate, nevertheless it was tasty. Apart from that we had a Galician toast with apple, cheese, butter nuts, cinnamon and capers (10 UAH).

    Of course I drank a pint of local Lvivske Premium beer (8 UAH), which is actually my favourite Ukrainian beer.

    Zolotyi Vepr (Golden Boar) is one of the newer slightly upscale restaurants in Lviv. It consists of several vaulted underground rooms, some of which are decorated with stuffed boars.

    The bilingual Ukrainain English menu offers European and Ukrainian cuisine with a vast selection of pork dishes. Most sides have to be ordered seperately.

    In June 2007 I had a pork chop (Svynna vidbyvna) and a pint of Kristall beer.

    With 12,40 UAH for the pork chop without a side dish and 7,00 UAH for the beer, prices were slightly above average, but still cheap for western
    standards.

    Pizza Celentano is a popular Ukrainian Pizza chain, which can be found in many cities all over the country.

    Lviv is home to at least 7 Celentano restaurants. We once visited their branch near the main train station for lunch.

    The menu offers pizza, pasta, crepes, salads, soups and desserts. You can create your own pizza or crepes by chosing your favourite toppings.

    You directly order and pay at the counter where you get a big metal number which you put on your table. Your meal will then be freshly produced and brought to your table.

    I had a Pizza Salami (13,70 UAH) and an ice tea (4 UAH) to drink. Taking into account that Pizza Celentano is a sort of Fast Food restaurant, their pizzas are really excllent and the service is friendly.

    Apart from that the restaurants are clean and always decorated in an interesting way.

    Sviet Kavy (World of Coffee) is a self service cafe which is specialised in all sorts of coffee. Of course other hot and cold drinks are on offer as well. Apart from that you can choose from a wide variety of cakes which are either on display or listed in the menu on the counter.

    The cafe has a large outdoor terrace facing the Latin Cathedral, therefore it seems to be especially popular on warm summer days.

    I opted for a black tea and a piece of the tasty rhubarb cake, which together set me back 22 UAH.

    It was our last day in Lviv so we really enjoyed the late afternoon sun and some people watching before heading off by night train to Budapest in Hungary.

    Cafe Tsukernia seems to be well known in Lviv for its homemade delicacies. It even had the priviledge to serve Pope John Paul II during his visit of Lviv in June 2001. The facade of the cafe looks a bit grey and boring, whereas the inside is furnished in a cosy style with old memorabilia.

    You can choose your treat directly from the glass counter or from the menu which is also available in English. Apart from sweet delicacies the cafe also offers hearty snacks.

    Prices are a bit above average, but still quite resonable. Please note that cakes are usually priced by weight in Ukraine.

    I opted for an apple strudel with vanilla sauce (10,00 UAH / 100 gram) and a glass of Sandora grapefruit juice (6,00 UAH). Maybe my expectations were a bit too high, but I wasn't totaly satisfied with my choice, especially as the vanilla sauce was a bit thick.

    Also for some reason the waitress gave us the bill of another table, but apologised after our complaint. So always make sure that you check the bill, even when you can't read Cyrillic letters.
