Lviv Croissants has launched its first location in France.

The Ukrainian restaurant chain Lviv Croissants has entered the French market, opening its first location in Cannes. The franchise was acquired by local entrepreneurs, one of whom is involved in a Michelin-starred French cuisine restaurant.
Lviv Croissants открыли свой первый ресторан во Франции.

The first Lviv Croissants in France is located in the heart of Cannes, on Rue d’Antibes. This area is quite lively and bustling, known for its numerous shops and restaurants. The establishment features 13 seating spots indoors and an additional 24 on the summer terrace.

The cornerstone of the Lviv Croissants menu in Cannes, as in the entire chain, is freshly baked croissants, but some fillings have been specially developed to cater to the preferences of French guests. Local chefs were specifically invited to collaborate with the brand chefs of Lviv Croissants to create unique offerings. Notably, the menu includes croissants with goat cheese, honey, and nuts, mortadella, pear, and gorgonzola, as well as ones with raclette cheese and cured ham, among others. In total, there are over 35 diverse fillings to suit every taste. To ensure that the croissants meet the expectations of French guests, Lviv Croissants sourced local suppliers. Soon, the establishment will also begin offering delivery, allowing every guest of Lviv Croissants in Cannes to enjoy authentic Lviv croissants.

The design of Lviv Croissants is stylish, modern, and somewhat intimate, covering an area of 70 m². The interior harmoniously blends natural wooden elements, plant decor, and comfortable seating areas for relaxation. An open kitchen allows guests to observe the croissant-making process, making their visit even more captivating.

"Over the past six months, our team has not only worked on creating a beautiful establishment but has also thoroughly researched the French market and the food consumption culture in this region to win the hearts of French gourmets," share the franchising managers of Lviv Croissants. "We believe our croissants will become a new gastronomic discovery for them. Everything else remains unchanged: the traditional Lviv atmosphere, delicious quality coffee, and high service standards. This is what visitors around the world know us for and love about us."

Cannes has become the first French city to host Lviv Croissants due to its impressive tourist flow and significant prospects for the gastronomic business. However, the expansion in France will not be limited to the French Riviera: Lviv Croissants already has plans to open new establishments in the network.

It is worth noting that France is now the fifth country outside Ukraine where Lviv Croissants operates. The network also has establishments in Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and the USA.
