Come join us for breakfast in Ukraine as we review different food items we tried eating at Post office on Drukarska street restaurant (Poshta na Drukarskiy) in Lviv (Львів). Typically a traditional Ukrainian breakfast might include savory items such as borscht and dumplings but since we've shown these Ukrainian dishes on some of other food videos in Kiev we decided to try a more contemporary Ukrainian breakfast in Lviv, Ukraine by samplings some sweet meals. The inside of this restaurant features old fashioned postcards and looks like an old post office.
What we had for breakfast in Lviv, Ukraine:
1) Cappuccino
2) Crepes with berries
3) Pancakes with fruit and cinnamon
4) Deepfried cookies with custard (Ukraine: Verguny (Вергуны) & Polish: faworki or chruściki)

Breakfast in Lviv, Ukraine travel food video transcript:
it is breakfast time here in Lviv (Львів) and we've ended up at the coolest cafe ever. It is themed like a post office. There is basically mailboxes everywhere & lots of postcards. You have the little like envelope feeders on the doors. It is so cool. We're going to head in, have a bite of food.
We're inside the cafe our food orders have been placed. Cappuccinos have arrived. We weren't even planning to come here because technically this place specializes in pastas and beers but the one cafe we had walked into first was totally packed. We saw they had a little breakfast section. I mean the place looks so cool. We're like yeah let's eat here.
So let's try that. While you're trying that something to keep in mind while traveling in Ukraine is that we've noticed in both Kyiv (Kiev Київ Киев) and now Lviv (Львів) that if you like if there is a really popular restaurant and you just show up like on the weekend. You need a reservation.
A few thoughts on Ukrainian breakfast. When we were kind of researching about what was a typical breakfast in the Ukraine there didn't seem to be like a exact standard. You could have something like borscht, there could be dumplings but we've already shown that in some other videos so we decided to just come and have more of a contemporary Ukrainian breakfast.
In front of me I've got these crepes with apple and walnuts. And just look at the way they've like folded them and like twirled them. Like it is so pretty and it has cottage cheese as well. Icing sugar, cinnamon. Like this is a work of art. I almost don't want to dig into it.
It is breakfast and we are hungry. It looks like a little flower almost.
It looks like berries. I thought this one was apple but maybe we got berries.
The other one would be apple then. Yeah, because the other one has a cinnamon flavor smell.
That is really good. Tasty.
I have to say we have a bit of a sweet tooth this morning. Haha. Both of us ordered sweet breakfasts. Yeah. And it is so nice with this like cottage cheese and all of the icing sugar and cinnamon mixed in together. Sam didn't want to miss out on the Crêpe.
The next dish is a stack of little pancakes here. Dusted with icing sugar if you look down. Yeah.
And it has got um raspberries, it has a lot of cinnamon which I'm really smelling and enjoying. Apparently this is going to be a sour cream based sauce. Those pancakes are nice and fluffy.
Apparently pancakes and crepes were not enough so this looks like what it is like deepfried dough maybe?
Coated in like sugar, cinnamon and it comes with a little sauce bowl here. This is like a nice creamy vanilla custard. Super sweet.
That came to 207 which is just under $8 US dollars. That was for two cappuccinos and 3 basically mains. 3 breakfast mains including crispy fried cookies, pancakes & crepes. We're full. We'd highly recommend this place if you're looking for a nice breakfast here in Lviv, Ukraine.
