Flavours of Lviv

Know Before You Book

Here at In Lviv Tours we spend a lot of time sampling the flavours of Lviv in new, old, and off-the-beaten -path places. Holes in the wall handing out delicious snacks and underground dining halls that cook historic, even patriotic recipes for those with a predilection to taste the past are always on our to-do list. To curate a food tour in Lviv worth eating takes time.

Everyone who visits Lviv harbours expectations of a memorable, or at least quirky gastronomic treat. Such is our encylopedic knowledge of where to eat out in Lviv, we have become accustomed to locals asking us for advice! Quite the compliment.

Take your seat at our oaken table beneath a historic townhouse on Rynok square. Feast on iconic Galician and Ukrainian dishes washed down with jugs of irresistible ale. If you want to go beyond borscht, this is the way!

Back on terra firma we explore the narrow passageways of old town Lviv en route to an open kitchen, where savoury soups and hearty stews have been satisfying the hungry for decades. At this point we may decide to indulge in a measure or two of liquor or a liqueur before concluding with boutique chocolates, coffee and cake in a classic confectionery.

FLAVOURS OF LVIV savours Lviv and is led by a local gastroguide. We include seated and street food stops in Lviv old town.

Food Tour Lviv reviewed

"Vika was spectacular in every way, and as a rather glamorous local girl who works in a restaurant when not guiding, she knew so much about Galician food traditions. Our tour went to two restaurants or maybe one of them was a bistro, and two or three street food counters. We ate roast meat, sausages, dumplings, soups, a lot of gherkin and salo, soups and stews of various types with beer and some vodkas too. We shared Georgian pizza too. As described, it was extremely filling and very good value. The tour hit all the right spots and I returned to my hotel very satisfied, thanks to Vika and Lviv tours for the experience!"
