  1. A

    Amadeus

    The refined interior, peaceful music and patio perfectly placed in the shadow of three churches are reason enough to plop down in one of Amadeus’ stylish wicker chairs. But it’s the food that puts it on another level. The menu leans toward fancy European fare like fondue and risotto, but there are stuffed baked potatoes (10 to 20uah) and varenyky (dumplings) on offer for the price-conscious hryvnia hoarders. The pizza-sized omelettes are legendary, and the surf-and-turf ‘gypsy shashlyk ’ is quite simply the best shashlyk we’ve ever tasted.

    Kupol

    It’s designed to feel like stepping back in time – to 1938 in particular, ‘the year before civilisation ended’ (ie before the Soviets rolled in). How well this former mansion and arts salon recreates that specific year is moot, but, goodness, is the overall effect winning. The olde-worlde chintzy interior is lined with framed letters, ocean-liner ads, antique cutlery, hampers and other memorabilia. The Polish-Austrian-Ukrainian food is delicious and beautifully garnished.

    Panorama

    The Opera Hotel’s rooftop restaurant has quality food and is high on terms of ambience. The main selling point is the view – the goblins adorning the roof of the opera house stare right at you while you chew your veal cutlet or roast duck. The heavenly couches and groovy music are perfect for chillin’.

    Grand Hotel Lobby Bar

    Didn’t think you could afford to eat at a top-end hotel? Think again. With dirt-cheap sandwiches, hamburgers and Lvivske pivo (beer; 5.50uah), the piano bar in the lobby of the Grand Hotel is a surprise bargain.

    Puzata Khata

    Puzata Khata is a small mercy anywhere, but this super-sized version of Ukraine’s number-one 1 restaurant chain stands out for its classy, Hutsul-themed interior and pure Ukrainian-rock soundtrack.

    Frantsuzky Piven

    Of the two neighbouring wrap shops on vul Lesi Ukrainky, this is the best. It’s great for a quick bite, plus they deliver.
