Non-banal route around Lviv: where to go if you were everywhere

What does Google usually offer for the query “travel to Lviv”? In 9 out of 10 cases, it is recommended to go to “Kryivka”, “Rebernya under the Arsenal” and “Lviv's Kavi digging”. If you have already been to Lviv, then going to the same popular establishments and standing in lines will not be particularly interesting. January 18, 2021 AUTHOR: Victoria Hutsul 0 4 min

And even if for the first time, I still advise you not to waste time queuing at these establishments, but the saved hours to walk around the city and listen to street musicians sing “So yak ti once for all life …” or “Lish won , leash won … “. I will prove to you that Lviv is not parties, themed establishments and mead. This is coziness, comfort and … pizza.

When to go to Lviv?

In fact, for this city there are no concepts of “season” or “off season”. Tickets to Lviv can be bought at any time of the year. For example, for me the best time is mid-December and end of January. Because in mid-December there is not yet a huge number of tourists who come here for the New Year holidays. And at the end of January they are gone. But there is already or still a festive atmosphere, snow and many street fairs where you can buy a glass of mulled wine.

Where to go instead of “Kryivka”?

“Tsukor”

Where to have breakfast in Lviv? Zukor is the best place for this business. Come here in the morning for coffee and pancakes. Be sure to try it with salmon, poached egg and cheese sauce in redcukor. Yes, it’s not very good for the figure, but how delicious. And yes, there are three “sweet” Zukor establishments in Lviv – redcukor, yellowcukor and blackcukor – each with different menus. Red specializes in pancakes with toppings, yellow in pancakes, and black in sandwiches, as well as American and English breakfasts.

Naydorzhcha restaurant Galicia (Masoni)

“Masonic Lodge” – yes, I promised not to recommend themed places with many tourists, but this place is an absolute must visit. And there are not so many tourists there. Everything will surprise you: from how guests are greeted (who doesn’t know, I won’t reveal a secret, but prepare money for the rabbit) to the interior and prices. Be sure to draw up a Locale card before the trip, otherwise, when you see the prices on the menu, you will want to run away as soon as possible. Do not be afraid! As intended – with the card you will receive a 90% discount. Here you need to try smoked salad with baked potatoes, mushrooms and poached egg.

“Old Muri”

Stari Muri is a coffee house with stone walls, a cozy atmosphere and a summer terrace. There are black, green, white, pu-erh and 50 other types of tea. In addition to such platitudes as espresso, cappuccino and latte, they offer coffee with spices, Kulczycki coffee with honey and Polish coffee. And for desserts, be sure to order the Lviv Sirnik. If you come here in the warm season, sit on the summer terrace. It offers an excellent view of the Lviv courtyards, where the very magic of Lviv is hidden.
