Lvivski Plyatsky — Restaurant in Lviv Urban Hromada

I won’t say the place is bad: is good and very popular among other tourists, but I personally don’t like the tables being very uncomfortable to sit for longer than “the time to eat what you’ve got” and won’t treat the place as favourite as it is designed to be nice for one time.

To take the masterclass or to present it to your friends, you need to order a...

Probably best syrnyks (Ukrainian cheesecakes) served in Lviv, moist and rich in flavour! Strudels are amazing too. The general atmosphere is that of an old European cafe, cosy, with small round wooden tables, located close to each other. The staff is quite friendly, but once the waiteress reacted strangely when we asked how much our piece of syrnyk weighed. She told it to us as if it was a big secret and it was forbidden to share such information to customers. Nevertheless I am looking forward to tasting their...
