Visit to the "Franko Mr.FOX" can also be a delicious tour of antiquity for you!
Why the owner of this establishment in Lviv chose such a theme for his restaurant is a secret to me. He is a man who came from an eastern country, but studied the traditions of the time in which Ivan Franko lived. So dumplings are a part of Ukrainian traditional cuisine, and the fact that the most delicious dumplings here are a fact!
The restaurant is located on Cathedral Square in Lviv, and at the entrance walks a young man who advertises the institution. He very kindly invites us to visit this cozy place. But we have been here before and we want to try again these colorful dumplings, which our little Darina, who is here for the first time, has been dreaming of for a long time.
A little information for you about Ivan Franko, whose name this restaurant has. He was a complex and outstanding man. [A poet, a young revolutionary](Дивись.info - https://dyvys.info/2018/11/28/biografiya-ivana-franka/), who wandered from prison to prison, advocated free love and tended to regard the traditional Galician family as a "cemetery of the senses."
The culmination of Franko's poetic work is the poem "Moses" (1905), which depicts an allegorical picture of the rise of the Ukrainian people in the struggle for independence.
We enter and find ourselves in an atmosphere of metal wrought iron products and books. We choose a table in the hall on the ground floor, where there are large panoramic windows and we enjoy the view of the Polish ancient cathedral.
While we wait for our order, I go in search of a toilet and go down the stairs, where everything is furnished in the old style of the 19th century, when Ivan Franko lived. Here you can see his portraits and learn his life story.
Ivan Franko is one of the brightest figures in Ukrainian history. ... He is called the Stonemason because he boldly struck the rock of Austro-Hungarian imperialism, pounded the rock of social injustice with a hammer, shouting to thousands: "Beat this rock!"
Finally they brought dumplings and they are delicious: green with cheese and basil, red with cherries, blue with blueberries, pink with strawberries! This bright dish looks very nice in a clay bowl.
If you like to study traditions in stylized restaurants of national cuisine - then visit "Franko Mr.FOX" in Lviv, Ukraine. Then your impressions of our ancient city will be memorable. And after a delicious dinner, my evening ended at the Market Square and was wonderful!
