Homin. Lviv cuisine: past and contemporary
Lviv has long been a city where various cultures and traditions have coexisted and intertwined. This is largely due to the large number of trade routes that passed through our city...
In addition to Ukrainians, Jews, Poles, Italians, Germans, Moldovans, Hungarians, and Armenians also used to live here. All of them left their impact in the architecture, everyday life, and, of course, the food. New dishes were born from recipes of various nations combined with local products. Then they spread throughout Lviv and eventually became part of a new culinary tradition. Even now, every decent Lviv housewife has a notebook with recipes from
her great-great-grandmother, which lists schnitzel, zwieback, strudel, shakshuka, zupa, and andruty.
This is how a phenomenon, rather underestimated and not widely known, has emerged over many centuries – the Lviv cuisine. Our menu is a reinterpretation of traditional Lviv cuisine. It`s a kind of fantasy on how traditional Lviv dishes could look like if they were created today. Familiar flavours from childhood and some modern trends (since the city goes on changing and so does the culinary culture).
We invite you to taste traditional cuisine created amidst the chatter of contemporary Lviv. You can gather a bunch of your friends to chat in a cosy atmosphere or spend time in solitude, contemplating the sunset and reading a good book.
