«Lviv Handmade Chocolate" creates chocolate and produces happiness with a good taste…

It was founded in 2009 in Lviv and became an integral part of modern Lviv, as since Medieval Times the city has been well known for “delicious confectionery” and starting from the 19th century Europe began exporting chocolate from Lviv. Chocolate has become a traditional souvenir from “Lviv Handmade Chocolate” for more than 10 years that tourists bring to another cities and countries. Local people are really proud of it.

In 2010 “Lviv Handmade Chocolate” started to offer a part of Lviv nationwide, and grew into a chain of chocolate shops and cafés creating a “Lviv unique atmosphere”. In December 2015 “Lviv Handmade Chocolate” started to develop its chain in Asia and opened a restaurant in Baku, the heart of Azerbaijan. Nowadays there are 52 restaurants in 28 cities within Ukraine, including 4 successful shops in Baku.
