It's from the French "au lieu de", which means "instead of". So, it's synonymous with that phrase.

Basically it means "instead of."
Example: The waiter asked the customer if they wanted a steak in lieu of the chicken, as the kitchen had run out of poultry.

It means "in place of" or "instead of". It is typically used in legal or financial documents. Another similar word is "inkind" as in "payment in kind" which means to pay back something worth X dollars with something else that is equal in value.
