Mons Pius

Mons Pius is a meat-focused steakhouse in the Armenian Courtyard, entered from 7 Virmenska St. (the building is also listed as 14 Lesi Ukrainky St.). It occupies a historic townhouse that once held one of Lviv's first banks — hence the name. The kitchen is built around meat and fire: steaks, bone marrow, empanadas with veal or lamb, foie gras pâté, grilled camembert, charcuterie and cheese boards, plus seasonal vegetable plates and a solid wine and beer list. It is one of the pricier restaurants in the old town — a place for a slow dinner in a quiet courtyard rather than a quick lunch.
