Underground restaurant with nationalist spirit

Feb 2020 • couples

True Ukrainian style underground restaurant, with secret entrance and theme of freedom-fighters. The portions of national Ukrainian food are quite big, the quality of food is great, served in simple but creative way. We tried roasted pork and turkey leg, both were delicious. But perhaps the most attractive part is the vibe of the restaurant in general, indeed something highly recommended while visiting Lviv.

A very entertaining restaurant

Nov 2019 • none

This place is supposed to be a "secret" place somewhere at Rynok square. Upon arrival you are greeted by a restaurant host that is supposed to be an armed guard and he will ask you for the password (glory to Ukraine in Ukrainian). Then he'll give each of you shots and after you drink it you'll be allowed to enter the bunk (restaurant). We went there just out of curiosity and to experience this funny restaurant theme but surprisingly the food turned out to be quite good tasty.

Very unique dining experience

Oct 2022 • none

Everything here is set up to glorify Ukraine in war times and the way food presented and served gives you a little flavour of tough life in war times. There is nearly no lighting in the restaurant, everything is lit up by candles, the restaurant is underground which feels like a bomb shelter. The food is served in metal plates and metal mugs are used to serve water. You still can have a wine goblet though;-) Food is tasty but not remarkable, don't come here just to dine, some to have full experience and visit the smoking area even if you are not a smoker as it is very interestingly designed, again in war style. I recommend it! Oh, try deruny, that was super tasty!

Skip it. There are much better places in Lviv.

May 2021 • friends

At this point Kryivka is riding on a hype created online. Food quality is abismal. And kids (all of them are about 18) that serve your food are more eager to play with each other instead of doing their job which is taking care of their patrons. All of parafernalia is randomly collected and is out of place. All in all it's for people that have no clue about history and company that owns the place is using tragedy of the region and of current Russian-Ukrainian war for personal gain. Better go to Veterano pizza, those guys at least help veterans and war participants.

Great service, cool atmosphere, good food

Apr 2023 • friends

The restaurant has a great atmosphere and the decor has had a lot of work put into it. The location is decent and the basement is deceptively large and sprawling, with every square inch covered in various Soviet era paraphernalia. The food was great- I was recommended pierogi, potato pancakes, the half-metre sausage, and the apple pancakes. There was also a selection of Ukrainian wines and beers from small brewing houses. The waitress was great and put up with my friends and I all whilst providing perfect service. She had a perfect memory and didn’t make any mistakes which is always welcome! Unfortunately I do not possess a perfect memory so can’t provide her name for feedback (think it sounded something like Ksenia?) Would recommend to anybody visiting or living in L’viv.

The Most Delicious Dishes in Lviv

Sep 2021 • none

We tried Borsch soup and liked it. I am vegan so I asked that can they prepared without meat and meat stock. They prepared and it was so delicious. Decoration and ambiance are so cool. You should definitely try Bull Margaritas. The presentation was so impressive.

It is great for atmosphere

Feb 2021 • none

It is great for atmosphere and for drinks but the food is mostly hit and miss. I've been here multiple times because it is fun but the food quality is kind of dropping. The latest meal for example, "Pork Chop", was pretty bad. This is a must-go place but the food is not that good at all times.

Excellent historic restaurant

Aug 2022 • none

I was visiting Lviv for the first time and was looking for this restaurant because I had heard a lot about it long ago before my visit, and I was positively surprised by what I found there. This is not just a museum, or just a restaurant, but is an exact location where resistance was fighting against the soviet red army. The place has deeper meaning if you know a little bit of history. The first impression was a problem to find the place, but it was an interesting part, as hiding that place from occupants. Then, an armed person is opening the door just as in war times... and the underground ambient with authentic guns and gears from the second world war... they give this place a special feeling, while the food served there is local, authentic and very tasty. This was a very unique and authentic experience and I would surely return there next time I am visiting Lviv. It is worth visiting this, and other thematic restaurants there.

Authentic Ukrainian experience beneath Rynok Square

Apr 2023 • friends

Everything about this place is awesome, from the moment you arrive. You need to say a (not so secret) password at the entrance to be let in, before proceeding downstairs into a cave-like network of underground rooms decked out with all kinds of Ukrainian paraphernalia. Traditional Ukrainian cuisine, traditional Ukrainian music and traditional Ukrainian decor. These types of places can often be gimmicky and poor value but the food was really good, albeit slightly more expensive than average in Lviv (but still very reasonable by most European standards). Definitely worth a visit.

Entertainment, not a restaurant

Nov 2020 • none

Like other restaurants of the company! Fest, this one is also designed to entertain you, not to feed you deliciously. It claims the romance of the Ukrainian insurgent movement of the Second World War, not delicious cuisine. Want a tasty meal - look for another restaurant.

Unique underground restaurant

Nov 2022 • solo

I think this is a must-visit restaurant. You get delicious food, a taste of a part of Ukrainian culture - the nationalist part and a museum. You need to know the password to enter the restaurant. When they say "Sava Ukrainia", you need to answer with "Heroiam slava"

Terrible service, food cold

Jan 2020 • none

Terrible service, food cold and inedible. Not worth waiting time and your money. There are much better places in Lviv, such as Pravda and Kopalnya Kavy with their exceptional ideas and friendly staff.

We were a group of five visting at a late Saturday afternoon in the beginning of December. We had a variety of dishes recommended by our skilled waiter. The food and vodka was great. The atmosphere was fantastic. During the course a singer shoved up and performed a great show together with a musicians playing an accordion. I will for sure be back!

Small American and NATO groups quietly enjoy as they pass through on stopovers to/from Kiev. They enjoy the ambience and Ukraine experience. Ipa and Anastasiia, kind, professional and efficient particularly :) Good job. Recommend!

National Ukrainian cuisine

Aug 2023 • solo

Tasty, the place has the most popular Ukrainian national dishes. A little crowded and noisy but the food choice worth it. There are cheaper options for tight budget but still it is worth to put some money aside and visit at least once.
