Lvivska Maysternya Shokoladu

Top choice in Lviv


A chocoholic's dream, nothing quite prepares you for this branch of Lviv's most famous franchise export. Over several floors of a seemingly endlessly vertical old townhouse, you'll find countless cafe tables interspersed with displays offering great slabs of Belgian-style chockie and all kinds of creations (animals, hearts, pralines) in milk and dark versions that will have you drooling.

A dream come true for fans of the 1970s Willy Wonka films. And don't worry if you don't manage to make it here – LMS has shop-cafes in 25 other Ukrainian cities, plus Baku and Kraków.
