Lvivska Maysternya Shokoladu

Top choice in Lviv


You'll find Lviv's chocolate cafes all over the country, but there's something special about the central Lviv branch where it all began. Cafe tables and serving points pack every free space in a tall townhouse on Serbska street, almost continually crammed with visitors downing slabs of cake and sublime coffees in between choosing from the huge array of chocolate goodies in the shops.

It's an unmissable spectacle, but you'd better like stairs.
