Veronika

On a day when most eateries were deserted, Veronika only had a couple tables available in the basement. But you wouldn't be surprised if you know that Veronika is the oldest and probably the best city confectionery. Sweets made by old Austrian-Hungarian recipes are really delicious. You won’t find any other confectionary in Lviv with such a wide selection of candies, biscuits and cakes. Menu of the restaurant (it is in the lower part of institution) is mostly European with some Ukrainian and a sprinkling of other world favourites. The “plump” menu of the restaurant includes vegetarian dishes, breakfasts, seafood, meat, desserts. Choose from four varieties of fondue, an impressive selection of fish dishes and mouth watering breads and desserts baked fresh on site. With western classics such as the European breakfast croissant with ham and veggies, this is winning choice for breakfast. Vine map contains best French, Italian, Spanish, Australian, Argentinian, North American and Chilly vines. The interior is compact, but classic; stylish and soft light makes a romantic atmosphere.

The pastries in Veronika are still excellent, but have become ridiculously expensive in the past year or so. The treats in the display case are priced by weight, so if you order by number of cookies, you can be very surprised at the cost. Two small cookies in December, 2012 cost the equivalent of $2.50 US. Too much for two small cookies. One Christmas fruitcake was priced at 45 HRN for 100g -- the entire fruitcake, the size of a small loaf of bread, cost over 40.00. Time to find another cafe...

Yes, you need some luck to get a table in the upstairs cafe part of Veronica, but in my experience the cafe sees good turnover. The cakes are by far the best in Lviv, and are respectable vis-a-vis any you could buy in Eastern Europe. Pricey, yes, but they're a wonderful treat to take with you on some dreary, smelly train trip across Ukraine. The restaurant serves some great food, only when I was there they had no separate smoking section, so I got a little smoked out during my meal. Again, the food is not cheap, but it's a real treat by Eastern European standards. I recommend the cafe as a wonderful place to people watch or sit and read, drink coffee/tea/wine/whatever on a rainy day, of course, on the condition that you get a seat. I spent a number of rainy days in late March doing just that.
