The best restaurants in Lviv as recommended by Andriy Bednyakov

The first restaurant we want to share with you is Marevo. Here, the best local craft and natural products are combined with Italian craftsmanship. "Marevo offers its customers high-quality culinary services, serving European and Ukrainian cuisine. In this restaurant you can enjoy a cozy atmosphere for various events, celebrations or just meetings with your family.

Another great restaurant recommended by Andrey Bednyakov is White Noise. This restaurant was opened by Kyiv residents on Zaliznyak Street. A characteristic feature of this place is its non-standard dishes. The menu offers a lot of interesting local products depending on the season. For example, in August, you can taste dishes with chanterelles and creamy buckwheat at White Noise. The restaurant also serves delicious liver pates with truffle sauce, walnut and spinach pate, bean pate with nuts, and sweet pepper muhamara. 

Elina Svitolina and Serhiy Stakhovsky's favorite restaurants in Lviv

The first restaurant recommended by prominent Ukrainian athletes is Tisha.Chalet.Restaurant. This restaurant serving modern Ukrainian and European cuisine is located right on the mountain. Thanks to such a good location, guests will be able to enjoy a piece of mountain atmosphere near the very center of Lviv. Taste and style merge in an unsurpassed dance at Tisha.Chalet.Restaurant. This is not just a restaurant, but a real culinary journey that reveals the uniqueness of each ingredient. The restaurant is stylishly decorated with natural wood, ceramics and a symbolic olive. This is a place where you can forget about everyday life and enjoy a pleasant vacation.

Another great location is the Very Fine Dining restaurant. Here you can enjoy an amazing atmosphere, delicious dishes and cocktails.

What restaurants does Nazva recommend to visit?

The first place that the Galician-Donbas Ukrainian music band Nazva recommends visiting is Black Honey. Here you can enjoy high-quality and delicious coffee, work comfortably, or just fantasize over a cup of aromatic drink. The interior is completely atypical for Lviv coffee shops, impressing with its modernity, conciseness and sophistication. The highlight of the place is a variety of coffee brewing methods. Do not be afraid of incomprehensible names, just ask the barista and he will prepare the perfect drink to your taste!

The next recommendation is Port Wine Bar, which is located on Valova Street near the City Arsenal. The concept of the place is as follows: the most delicious young fruit wine, fresh mussels and simply delicious cuisine. Wine is served here in 200 ml portions, a serving costs 35 UAH, regardless of the type of wine. The serving here is unusual - in cut glasses, “just like sailors used to do”. The bar menu includes various varieties of fruit young wines. Guests can order strawberry, plum, and pomegranate wine. Port Wine Bar hosts movie nights every Wednesday.

Where does the Moviegoers Squad recommend a delicious lunch?

The city cafe “Republic of the Garden” is a wonderful place that was opened in memory of its founder Dmytro Pashchuk, who previously opened Port Wine Bar and Papi in Lviv. Unfortunately, Mr. Pashchuk was killed by a kamikaze drone strike in the Kherson region. He started working on the establishment before the full-scale invasion, and then volunteered to go to the front. The concept of the restaurant is cozy, tasty and simple. The menu offers sandwiches, salads, main dishes, soups, and desserts. There is a separate page with breakfast.

And the last restaurant is a restaurant with an original idea and conceptual execution “RED PEPPER”. This restaurant represents an organic synergy of Italian, French and Pan-Asian cuisine, and this is what makes it unique. Here, professional chefs use modern equipment to create real masterpieces from the freshest frozen products. Special plates are selected for each dish. The highlight of each dish is the use of a variety of spices.

Of course, the list of these restaurants is not limited to our article, because Lviv is a city of incredible people, wonderful places, and great cuisine!
