Where to have breakfast near Rynok Square: the Orangery, coffee houses and morning routes
The most convenient breakfast in central Lviv is the one you do not have to travel for. Here is what is around Rynok Square and what a morning at the hotel looks like.
Rynok Square is the point from which any morning in Lviv begins. Coffee houses, bakeries, restaurants and hotels cluster around it, and the lanes of the Old Town branch off in every direction. The question «where to have breakfast» is easily answered here: either at the hotel, or a few minutes away on foot.
Best Western Plus Market Square Lviv stands at 4 Shevska Street, 100 metres from Rynok Square. Breakfast is included for hotel guests, and that is the simplest option: no need to look for a table, stand in a queue or leave the room early.
Below you will find breakfast in the Orangery of the Baczewski Restaurant, what is served at the buffet, and what to look out for if you would rather eat outside the hotel. There is another piece about the city here: What to see in Lviv in 2 days.
At the hotel
Breakfast in the Orangery of the Baczewski Restaurant
One of Lviv’s best-known dining addresses — on the hotel’s 1st floor.
Every morning guests of Best Western Plus Market Square Lviv are welcomed into the Orangery of the Baczewski Restaurant. It is a spacious hall with living greenery, a piano and singing canaries — not just a hotel breakfast but part of the Lviv food experience.
The format is a breakfast buffet: hot dishes, fresh pastries, cheeses, cured meats, fish, and seasonal vegetables and fruit. Coffee and a glass of sparkling wine come with it.
The Baczewski story in Lviv begins in 1782, and in 1807 the factory was granted the status of an Imperial and Royal Privileged Provincial Factory. Today the Baczewski Restaurant is the hotel’s restaurant with a menu of its own; you can read more on the Baczewski Restaurant page.

Menu
What exactly is served at the buffet
The breakfast buffet is arranged so that everyone can build their own plate: hot egg dishes, porridge, cheeses and cured meats, fish dishes, seasonal vegetables and fruit, fresh pastries and desserts.
- Egg dishes and hot items
- Fresh pastries and desserts
- Cheeses and cured meats
- Fish dishes
- Seasonal vegetables and fruit
- Coffee and a glass of sparkling wine
Breakfast is served daily from 8:00 to 11:00 — enough time to eat unhurriedly and still get out for a walk before the centre fills with people.
Rooms with private terraces and views over the historic centre are a reason in themselves to start the morning slowly: see the room categories. And if you are travelling with a pet, it is worth agreeing this with the hotel in advance — the conditions are described on the Hotel Services page.
Outside the hotel
Coffee houses and bakeries around Rynok Square
If you would rather eat out in the city, follow the streets that lead off the square.
Around Rynok Square and along the streets leading off it — Virmenska, Ruska, Krakivska, Teatralna, Shevska — you will find coffee houses, bakeries and restaurants. Within a 5–10 minute walk it is easy to find both a quick breakfast with coffee and a proper sit-down morning table.
Lviv is a city with its own coffee culture, so the coffee is good almost everywhere. Opening hours, on the other hand, vary: some places open early, others closer to midday. If breakfast matters to you, check the times before you leave the hotel.
A few practical rules that save time. At weekends the centre is busier and popular places may be full, so either go out earlier or book a table. There is no parking in the pedestrian zone: in the morning it is easier to walk than to drive.
If you are not a hotel guest, it is worth asking in advance at reception or by phone whether you can have breakfast in the Orangery — the contacts are on the Contacts page. The hotel itself and its four historic townhouses are described on the Hotel History page.
- Virmenska, Ruska, Krakivska, Teatralna — a 5-minute walk
- Bakeries and coffee houses on Shevska
- The centre is busier at weekends
- There is no parking in the pedestrian zone
- Opening hours of cafés vary

The choice
Breakfast at the hotel or in the city: how to choose
Both options work, and the choice depends on how you like to start the day. Breakfast at the hotel saves time and does not depend on the weather, on queues or on whether the place across the street has opened yet. Breakfast in the city gives you a different experience: you step straight into the Old Town, watch Rynok Square wake up and pick a place to match your mood.
When breakfast at the hotel is easier
If your day is planned hour by hour, if you are travelling with children or on business, if you do not want to look for a free table in the morning — breakfast on the hotel’s 1st floor settles the question in one step. It is included in your stay, it runs from 8:00, and it does not depend on the opening hours of city cafés.
When going out into the city is more interesting
If you want to try as many Lviv places as possible, if you wake up late and like long breakfasts in a coffee house — head for the streets around Rynok Square. There you can easily find both coffee to take away and a full breakfast, and the distances are short enough that you will not spend anything on transport.
A compromise works too: have breakfast at the hotel and then take a coffee in the city during your walk. That way the morning is a filling one and the city ritual is observed. One more marker is the time: breakfast at the hotel is served from 8:00 to 11:00, so even if you like a lie-in, you still make it without rushing.
Morning routes
Where to go after breakfast
A morning in the centre is the calmest time for a walk. Before the city fills up you can get round Rynok Square, climb the town hall tower and look into the churches on Virmenska and Ruska.
If breakfast was at 8:00–8:30, you will have an hour or an hour and a half outside before most museums open. That is enough to see the centre without crowds, and after that you can head up to the High Castle or set off for Lychakiv.
A ready-made two-day plan is in a separate article: What to see in Lviv in 2 days. And if you are planning a weekend trip, take a look at the hotel’s Offers — there are sometimes packages with breakfast and a transfer.
The Orangery of the Baczewski Restaurant is on the hotel’s 1st floor: a breakfast buffet daily from 8:00 to 11:00, with coffee and a glass of sparkling wine.
