Mons Pius

Lviv


Well-regimented serving staff dart across the polished brick floors and through the intimate courtyard of this former Armenian bank, a well-established favourite on Lviv's dining scene. Meat dishes anchor the reassuringly brief menu, though there are lots of salads and a few meat-free dishes. Our only criticism are the small portions, so beef up your beef with a couple of side dishes.

Drinks include 'live' Mons Pius beer and lemonade like babusya (grandmother) used to make.
