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.

It is THE place to be adventurous. While it's hard to spot from the outside, the real adventure is inside the bar. They serve beers brewed in local microbreweries, and as you'd expect, they taste completely different to typical Lithuanian brews.

Būsi Trečias

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!

This place is...different. The staff are eccentric to say the least. The beer is excellent and the food traditional. The whole place seems to have fallen into a big pot of randomness and caught everything from bombshells to living turtles in its fur. It's an experience of the most curious kind.

The place is owned and run by a knowledgeable and friendly couple who can help you find something to suit your palate, or guide you in trying something new. Alaus Pirkliai is frequented by local beer lovers and it's pretty cozy, so even if you're alone, you'll be sure to rub shoulders with some like-minded people while enjoying a pint (or three).

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.

The service is surprisingly pleasant, the food – tasty as it should be. Try the legendary dishes of Radharanė, but make sure to try something new every time you visit as well, even if it's a small, interesting cupcake.

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 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!
