There are restaurants and cafes featuring
a wide variety of cuisines from around the world.Good and even average
quality food can be expensive here, especially where ingredients are imported,
but with new eating places regularty opening, at least there is more choice
for the consumer.
There are several curious aspects
to a typical Ukrainian bill.
The first is that bread, fruit baskets,
and even butter or cream which in other places might be complimentary can
appear on the bill with inflated prices attached: to avoid this unpleasant
surprise, inquire before consuming such 'gifts'.
The second is a 5-10% charge at the
end. Be assured: this is not, as yet, a tax. This is the service charge,
and you can freely tip in addition - or not -depending on how happy you
are about the service provided.
Remember all restaurants, cafes,
pubs etc. in Ukraine take payment in Hryvnas only, many restaurants accepts
Credit Cards.
