This is a place where locals eat in the very center. It looks rather ugly, except for the summer when they maintain a terrace – wooden constructions are always a better environment.
However, that is where you get acquainted with the local cuisine and common people, unlike dozens of touristic or hipster places grown up all around the city center.
Make sure you have a native to help you out with the menu.

This place is the only good one among the places that try to catch people who arrive in town in the very morning.
It balances between being artsy, hipster and homey.
The people who run it improve it constantly.
Really good coffee since recently!
Live events sometimes.

Walk there through Stryisky park, have a lunch in there, and walk back down Ivana Franka street looking around thoroughly. That would make your day.

The food chain can do you good when you're on a tight budget. Local cuisine, self-service.
This particular spot is an old art nuevo space with huge windows on the ground floor, and I usually manage to occupy a table to eat my borsch and stare at passers-by.

Oh, I adore this shabby shithole!
Take a local, go there, order a handmade sandwich with handmade baked pork, sip a local liquor, and weep with tears of joy. Secret Lviv as it is.
Cash only, of course.

My favourite bar for its interior and local IPA.
Also, their meal is remarkable; it is rather pricey for locals, but definitely affordable for tourists and worth trying.
The place is small and cozy. The staff is young and helpful.
I do not know what else to say.
It is my idea of a bar. I frequent there. The guys from the city government do, too.
