You know, got snubbed off at Tzukernya as well. Yes, you all people, don't go there! Sigh, sorry to hear that the gram scheme has expanded onto desserts now.

Learnt that in Lviv, cakes are charged by the 100g, and the more foreign you sound, the bigger the slice of cake will be (and no one will explain that you are being charged by the 100g). I got caught out with little money and almost couldn't pay (my cake was around the 300g mark, apparently). The devushka was particularly unhelpful or sympathetic. I am well aware that alcohol in Ukraine is charged by the grams, but never in Kyiv have I seen desserts charged by the gram - are we just supposed to expect this? I order something on a menu for the price listed. If they are irresponsible enough to bring me something that's heavier than the weight listed for that product, then that's their fault. If only I could have explained that in Ukrainian (or Russian even). Sigh. But what next? Dinner in a restaurant where they charge you for the extra 50g over the 350g listed? But basically. Don't go to Tskukerinya in Lviv. There are plenty of other nice places to do to, where the service is nicer and more efficient. damn wrote a long comment and deleted it.

I don't remember if I went to that place. The good thing about not drinking alcohol is that you don't need to worry about these things. Wow, that’s pretty expensive wine.
