Vilnius is home to a wide variety of cafés and restaurants serving all manner of international cuisines. Although Lithuania didn’t have much of a food scene 10 years ago, nowadays we’re quite active in making quality food and good service part of our daily lives. So far it has been a successful endeavour, and although we don’t have any Michelin stars yet, we’re getting there!
If you’re a typical culture digger, there are three things you must try during your stay: Lithuanian beer, garlic bread and “šaltibarščiai“ (cold beetroot soup). If you’re looking for more tips, ask a local or check out the restaurant and café reviews in this guide – we have plenty of cool recommendations.

This bar/restaurant serves Lithuanian food and super tasty beer from small local breweries. It's very cheap and the portions are huge. I adore the Lithuanian peas with bacon bits washed down with a cold Varniuku beer.

Located in a bohemian neighbourhood, Špunka is a very new and very small bar for very local (actually, many locals don't even know about it) beer. If the beer smells and tastes good – it meets Špunka's criteria.

Because it's a great way to explore not so renaissance Vilnius in this bar. The staff is awesome, there's great selection of alcohol, and the food is worth coming back for sure. They offer not only evening menu, but also business lunch and even breakfast.

Būsi Trečias is a family-owned brewery/bar located in the very centre of Vilnius. Locally produced lager, dark and black beer shoots directly from barrels to your glass. If you‘re not a fan of standard beer tastes, you should definitely try one of the many beer cocktails on offer (the cherry flavour is my favourite).

Because everything they do is delicious! All the food they do - pizzas, Vietnamese pitas, Shakshuka - they cook in special wood fire oven. The place is located close to city centre. Even thought it's small, but has a feeling of home coziness.
Choose it for breakfast or lunch, you will not regret it!

If you're into heavier music, Bix Baras is your kind of a place. Since you can’t rock out on an empty stomach, they’ve also got a good menu that ought to please both your appetite and your wallet. If you don't fancy eating, the beer and crazy atmosphere still make it worth a visit.

I amn't lover of Hot dogs. But what the Chef in Bar Bukowski is doing with this snack, brings it in to the heaven. I never tried before the better hot dog in Europe or North Africa. OK, I newer was in USA. You must came here too chill, party with new people, enjoy hot dogs and beer and just to be a part of colorful Vilnius nightlife.

Not such a long time ago the Užupio district was dead boring. I guess this restaurant was one of the first nice places to pop up here. Maybe it's not the same as back in the early days, but people still respect it.

Not being a vegan or vegetarian myself, I can surely say that this is one of those places that people still put love in the food and try to make the whole experience great for the visitor rather than just play by the 'eat, pay and get out' scenario. A must!

Not only do these guys use real Irish Angus beef and understand what “medium rare” means, they also offer a delicious veggie burger to keep everyone happy. Conveniently located just off Cathedral Square, Boom! attracts a mixed crowd of businessmen, hipsters, families… Basically anyone who appreciates fresh ingredients and great flavours.
