About
At Arsenal, a medieval-themed establishment in Lviv, meat lovers will find their paradise. The restaurant's specialty is ribs, which are grilled on an open flame and served on wooden platters. The ambiance is lively, with live music consisting of traditional instruments such as the dolcimer and harmonica. The interior design is reminiscent of a tavern, complete with long tables and wooden bows, axes, and swords adorning the walls. Prices are shockingly low for the quality of food, with a 400-gram portion of ribs costing only 120uah. The restaurant is located beneath an actual arsenal museum, adding to the unique atmosphere. In addition to ribs, the menu features grilled vegetables, beef and vegetable soup, and salads. For drinks, there is a selection of local beers and wines, including the Kolonist red wine. The establishment does not use plates or silverware, providing a fun, hands-on dining experience. Despite the large crowds and long wait times, the staff does not rush diners and provides attentive service. Overall, Ribs Restaurant "At Arsenal" is a must-visit eatery for anyone passing through Lviv.

Very average place to eat , no choice of drinks (only beer and liquor). We’ve had pork ribs , tomato salad , and bakes potato with egg. The ribs have been cut by a waiter with a very sharp knife and therefore we’ve got to eat the ribs with pieces of bones. Tomato salad has been fully immersed in oil and pesto sauce. There are places to sit inside and outside. Foos is served without the cutlery or plates, everything is to be eaten by hands or wooden sticks. We’ve been disappointed by the service because we had to wait long time to order , to be served with drinks and to order a bill. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

The reviews will tell you that this is a fun place to eat (only with your hands by the way) which is a big part of the fun. The decor and ambience also adds to the experience. The food is affordable (a full rack of ribs estimated at 400g cost us 129uah the day we visited in July 2018) and side choices are few but much lower priced. The menu offers a very limited selection of food which the drink options far outweigh. The less than perfect rating is because the 2 portions of ribs we ordered were grossly different in size and quality of cooking. One was very small and much less cooked than the other. Sauces provided were only OK in taste and the side dish we ordered was not described well on the menu. It was overall worth a try and we enjoyed it. Go early or between rushes if you want to avoid the long wait everyone talks about. We went at noon and it only took 20 minutes from seating to eating.

This was fantastic as i am sure all the reviews to this place state. You must make your way to the bottom of the stairs to give your name for the waiting list. I was alone and passed everyone in less than 2 minutes. Groups could take up to 20 or 30 minutes. They call your name and then you are excorted into the dungeon where hordes of happy people are feasting on ribs. The menu is simple... Ribs and side dishes. Eat with your hands only as there are no utensils. They were in the top 10 for ribs for sure.. the atmosphere as well as the quality make this a "must do" activity.
Ribs and salads were good, locations is nice. But the waiter Olga took forever to get them for us. She didn't warn us that they were missing one component for the salads we've ordered. Instead, it took over 45 minutes to get salads and over 25m to get ribs. The table next to us made a similar order, and they were done eating and left before we received the first part of our order.

Great place ! Game with big company, the place was full and had a waiting list of more than 20 people. (Always a good sign) had to wait for no longer than 30min. Our waiter Dima spoke in English and was very helpful . Food (Ribs) was amazing . Appetizers and side dishes were good too. Price and quality ratio was something out of this world.

One of the most popular and delicious places in Lviv. Everyone talks about ribs here and not in vain. Delicious ribs, intoxicated beer, what else do you need for a good dinner? The meat here is really tasty without exaggeration. The waiters are very busy, there are always a lot of people here. Oh and everyone eats with their hands only. Cleanliness is not at the best level, but the meat covers everything 😅 A must visit place. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner
Nothing bad to say about this establishment as honestly all the good reviews speak for themselves. The ribs here are tasty as can be, the sauces are great as well as the potatoes! But you absolutely cannot beat the atmosphere as it’s built into the history and the restaurant completely surrounds the grounds
