This is the first place to go when you get off the plane and the last place you go before you head to the airport. If you do not visit the Ribernya, you have not been to Lviv. It is busy almost every day from open to close, but it is worth the wait. To get a table you have to fight your way to the man in the front with the blackboard and put your name on the list (he is bald and grumpy, but ultimately very helpful). In the summer you have to choose inside or outside. Then, you just have to wait for your name to be called, but be careful, they may not understand foreign names or you may not understand the pronunciation. Stay vigilant to see when your name comes up. Then, when it does, you will be shown to your seat. Order 1.5 racks per person minimum and maybe some grilled vegetables. They have great beer so get some of that too. It will be noisy, crazy and you may be sat with strangers, but you will not regret going. Additionally do not expect to get silverware or even a plate. This is BBQ like medieval times so be prepared to eat with your hands! The ribs come with yellow and red sauce. The yellow is spicy mustard and the red is some sort of sweet BBQ. I like the spicy mustard, but really they are both great. There is a gift shop on the way out where you can buy awesome and corny gifts and you can buy the sauces as well. This place will create some of the best and most lasting memories that you have of Lviv, go hungry and leave happy!

Well well well. This is got to be my favourite restaurant in Lviv. The food is amazing and surprisingly cheap. For 400grams of grilled ribs ( on actual fire) it cost only 120uah. That alone was enough to deserve a full mark and it was delicious. Perfectly juicy and not over or undercooked in anyway. The presentation was quite fun. The waiter served the ribs and immediately hacked it to pieces in front of you. I wouldn't suggest the grilled vegetables as it was rather small and expensive compared to the ribs. And there was really nothing all that special about it. The live music consiting of a dolcimer and harmonica started at 7pm and they were quite amazing. The restaurant itself is situated beneath an actual arsenal museum and it was really fitting to have a tavern style grill restaurant. The entire theme was very well prepared and relaxing, and not pretentious. The only down side, perhaps to its credit as well, was that there was quite a large crowd waiting for dinner. There were on average over 80 people waiting in line at any given moment although for us that meant only 30minutes of waiting. Which was totally worth it. Despite such a large crowd waiting the sheer size of the restaurant meant the waiting wasn't actually very long. They also wouldn't hurry you even when you are done and it's really nice that you aren't pressured for dinner. I highly suggest everyone passing through Lviv to visit this restaurant.

This place was recommended during out tour. The guide said that this was a place we must visit and that was usually full. We decided to go for lunch. It is located in the same building as the Armament museum so when we went out from it just before noon there was already a line of people waiting for the restaurant to open. The place is quite big so we didn't have to wait and at this time is not high season so it wasn't full however outside they have a white board where you need to write your name is there is a lot of people waiting outside. The restaurant has an unique atmosphere. They draw your plate and cutterly on the paper tableclot as there are not any of those, you eat with your hands. There are hand wash sinks close by and a lot of paper towels to use. We were 2 and orther 2 portions of ribs and grill veggies. It was enough for us and very testy. My husband ordered a beer and I got an orange juice, best juice I have had. I definitely would like to come back, it was a lot of fun. They have sitting outside as well.

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.

Quirky and fun. Medieval themed restaurant and you use your hands as utensils. Loved the paper bibs and that they write on the paper table cloth and draw pictures to show you've ordered. Music is loud medieval themed, but we could still talk over it. Ribs were ok. Loved the mixed veges. Minus a star because of the service. Extremely slow and we were not given bibs and when we asked for them after our food came we got eye rolls. It then took a really long time to get someone's attention to pay. The line at the door was also confusing. Don't wait in line at the left behind all the people. Apparently you're meant to walk down the stairs on the right and put your name on the board, then wait on the left.
