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.

You’ll have to do a bit of searching as this second floor restaurant is relatively well hidden. Once you find it you'll quickly discover it was well worth the search. Sleek design and fair prices make it a great place for an elegant dining experience that's easy on the wallet.

Actors and singers hang out at InVino, but you’ll never recognise them as it feels more like a living room crowded with friendly people. The music is nice, the wine selection is great and they offer Spanish-style tapas. In summer they have the best courtyard in the city, shared with the neighbouring Portobello pub.

Dedicated to the famous Belgian surrealist René Magritte, this quasi-Belgian, quasi-French place is just a little bit insane. Go ahead, draw on the tables, they won't mind. Superb food, Belgian beer and a brilliant wine list.

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.

It's a gastropub with a restaurant vibe. The interiors are interesting – don't ask for a menu, just look up and you'll see it written on the walls.

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.

Besides the cosy location, the food served here is delicious. The blackboard menu in the greenhouse is constantly changing. Although it’s a very new place, the owners aren’t new to the industry, having run a popular restaurant in the Old Town for many years.

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).

Their burgers are heavenly. I have no idea how they do it, but it’s definitely worth the effort. If you’re around on a weekend, you should try their brunch. Note that vegetarian burgers are also available.

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.
