Kryjivka in Lviv is second-best ‘camouflaged’
restaurant in world
TripAdvisor, a popular travel website, rates Kryjivka Tavern in Lviv as
second-best “camouflaged” restaurant in the world. The site says that, in order
to answer the guard’s question, people need to know the password to get in. (Hint: Slava Ukraina! or Glory to Urkaine). The
tavern has a military interior and offers traditional Ukrainian meals and
drinks. The term “kryjivka” means a specially-equipped base used by the
Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA in Ukrainian). Here’s the restaurant’s website: (http://www.kryjivka.com.ua/).
