In this article we are going to talk about one of the most interesting places in Lviv – Cafe Masoch. What do you know about the term “masochism”, where it came from and who was the first masochist. The First Masochist In 1836 in Lemberg, at the time a province of the Austrian Empire (now Lviv, Ukraine) was born Leopold Ritter von Sacher-Masoch. He was an Austrian writer and journalist, who is…

Anchousna Vid Chornomorky; the hit new seafood spot in Lviv

Lviv is known for its great restaurants, from the traditional themed like Kryivka, to the fusion of food and art like Kryva Lipa. I can (and have) talked so much about different Lviv restaurants on this site, as it’s where I live, but I haven’t talked about Anchousna Vid Chornomorky yet. The first time I visited this restaurant was at their Kyiv location. Yes, this is a chain, however don&#8217…

Best Places for Craft Beer in Lviv

Lviv is known as the cultural capital of Ukraine, and there sure is a lot of culture here. From street music, to Galician cuisine, I firmly believe there is something for everyone here. One thing that many people may not realize is that craft beer in Lviv is quite a scene. Alcohol, of course, is a big part of Ukrainian culture. And while Vodka may be the drink of choice in many cities and towns…

A Restaurant With No Menu? A Look Into Pretty High Kitchen Lviv

By now you probably know all about theme restaurants in Lviv as well as all the special places to go. Well, here is a new one for you: Pretty High Kitchen. This place just opened in Lviv a couple months ago and Cody and I were finally able to go. This is another restaurant within the iFest group so you know the place is going to be well appointed. What is extremely unique about this…

Lviv Restaurant Review: Epic Cheeseburger Café

Cody and I have always had crushed hopes when getting cheeseburgers in Europe. Not that every place does a bad job, but I do think the majority don’t do it as good as Americans. In fact, the best cheeseburger I’ve ever had was at Great Leap Brewery in Beijing, China, a gastropub started by two American expats. However when Epic Cheeseburger Café opened in Lviv we decided to give them a chance, and…

Filin Lounge: The Hip Lviv Spot For Chilling With Friends

Lviv is considered the youngest city in Ukraine. This is mostly due to the fact that one in every fifth person who lives here is a student. In fact, I live in between three different universities! This means that there are tons of cool places that appeal to the younger crowd. While the fantastic themed restaurants in Lviv are great for a meal, sometimes you just want to grab a coffee, smoke some hookah, or…

Where To Find The Best Kebab In Lviv

While there are tons of great restaurants in Lviv (trust me, I’ve written about most of them) one thing I haven’t yet started to talk about are the super cheap eats. Lviv is not an expensive city by any means, but if you’re looking for something that will fill you up, be delicious, and be just a few dollars, then you’re going to want a kebab. Over the past month I…

Cocktail Bars In Lviv | Where To Go For Awesome Cocktails

1. Libraria Libraria always seems to pop up on a lot of lists for best cocktail bars in Lviv, and for good reason. The bar itself is located on the second and third floor of an unassuming residential building right in the heart of the old town and if you don’t know how to get there it can be tricky. In a way it is like a speakeasy because there are no signs instructing…

Themed Restaurants In Lviv

Themed Restaurants and Lviv…name a more iconic duo. It is actually quite strange how many restaurants here in Lviv are themed, which I’m sure can be off-putting to some tourists. The truth is that Ukrainians love a good theme, and while it may be a bit tacky, it is usually all in good fun. The theme rarely influences the food, just the building and atmosphere. Plus, as a fairly food centric culture…

Italian Courtyard Of Lviv

If you are going to visit Lviv, you should definitely get a cup of coffee in the famous Italian courtyard. It is a hidden jewel in the heart of Lviv (Rynok square) with a great history as with almost everything in this city. In fact, a visit to the Italian Courtyard is one of my top recommended things to do in Lviv, Ukraine! The Italian courtyard was built in 1580 as a part of Kornyakt…
