Baczewski

Top choice in Lviv


Here's how you compress your Lviv cultural studies into one evening out. Start with Jewish forschmak (herring pate), eased down by Ukrainian nalyvky (digestifs) and followed by Hungarian fish soup. Proceed to Polish pierogi (dumplings) and finish with Viennese Sachertorte with Turkish coffee. An essential Lviv experience. Be sure to reserve a table for dinner at this mega-popular place.

It also serves a champagne breakfast for 120uah per person. The only thing that lets Baczewski down a little is the service which can be gruff and disinterested.
