On our first evening in Vilnius we were quite hungry as we had had a busy day involving a long bus ride and had been settling into our B&B accomodation. One of the first Lithuanian restaurants that drew our attention was Restaurant Zemaiciai, which due to its central location probably is a bit touristy. They have a little outdoor terrace on the pavement and the interior is an underground network of ancient catacombs. The menu offers many traditional Lithuanian dishes as well as international cuisine. I ordered roast pork on a spit with boiled rice and my friend opted for the borscht with meat off the bone and a hot boiled potato. Borscht is a traditional East European beetroot soup. The meals were delicious, but service was a bit slow. The bill was 46,50 Litas (about 14 Euro, 2006) and included two drinks. This is still cheap for west European standards but already a bit on the pricey side in Vilnius.

 Lokys by Carletto76 This was our first choice restaurant looking on the Lonely Planet guide... ad it will be the only exact suggestion of this guide, since this restaurant is really great! We went there for lunch, and had a great Lithuanian meal, drank good beer and payed the usual cheap bill, even if this is one of the nicest restaurante in Vilnius. They have a big menu to choose from, and of course game dishes are their specialities.

The Balti Drambliai (White elephant) is said to be one of the few completely vegetarian restaurants in Vilnius. It seems to be popular among the younger crowds; even members of various internet communities like www.hospitalityclub.org have their get-togethers here. One evening we went to this place for dinner with Vilnius' well known VT member Raimix. He recommended the Balti Drambliai and we really enjoyed our time there. It is located in brick cellars which date back to the 17th century. The indoor decoration is kept simple and consists of many indian style ornaments. They also have a nice outdoor terrace in a backyard. You can select among vegetarian dishes ranging from Indian cuisine to traditional Lithuanian meals. They also have a vast selection of teas. I opted for a Svyturys beer and one of the daily Indian specials called "Dienos Sabdzis". It was a mix of vegetables served with rice. The food was delicious and prices were average.

 Pizza "Italy" at Mambo Pizza by HORSCHECK Pizza chains are quite popular in the Baltic states. Mambo Pizza is one of them and said to be among the better ones. They have a few branches in Vilnius. We once went to their restaurant on Gedimino prospektas for a late lunch. Unfortunately the restaurant was quite busy with local people, but on the other hand this is a good sign for the quality of the food. They have a wide range of Pizzas and some other standard meals. The menu is available in English. I opted for the weekly special which was a Pizza "Italy" and a Coca-Cola for only 11,90 Litas (4 Euro; 2006). The Pizza came on a wooden plate and was really delicious.

 liquer "Stumbrine" very strong by Sexy_European Although the EU may have different standards according to the late-great (and beloved by a small fraction of Vilnius residents) Frank Zappa one couldn't be considered a real country "unless you have a beer and an airline - it helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer." Lithuania has much to offer in making up for its lack of nuclear weapons. The common local brands are Horn, Kalnapilis, Švyturys, Utenos, Ragutis and Tauras. The beer here tends toward the lighter side of things in regard to colour and texture, but is heavier than many of its US/EU counterparts in regard to alcohol by volume. It is best to drink with caution and to order a light snack known as a beer set (rinkinys prie alaus) should you plan to make a night of it. In Old Town expect to pay somewhere in the region of 5 - 12Lt for half a litre. There are numerous local liquors, which run the gamut from the lightly fermented (bread or caraway seeds) known as kvass to the nearly lethal samanė with its alcohol content usually above 40%. Lithuanian vodka (degtinė) is worth trying as it stacks up to, if not topples over, many of its Russian and Polish counterparts. Numerous herb and fruit-based liquors will often line the inside of a drinks menu; most work as a pleasant accompaniment to tea. The local variation of champagne, Alita, seems to lose something in the translation. (From IYP) Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: less than US$10 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Drink to your hearst content., cheap and good!Directions: It's cheaper to buy alcohol in supermarkets, liquer stores. But local beer is still cheap in restaurants, cafes.Website: www.inyourpocket.com

 Ice cream desert "Hidros" by HORSCHECK One warm late evening we were in need of a sweet treat. By chance we came along the Spyros Metaxa which still had one free table in the outdoor sitting area. It is a Greek restaurant which opened in 2004 as a sister restaurant of Liutu Vartai (Lion Gate). I can't really comment on the food as I only had an ice cream dessert called "Hidros". It consisted of various scoops of ice cream decorated with frozen strawberries. The ice cream was delicious and the table perfect for people watching. So what more to expect from a warm summer holiday evening ....

The Trattoria Da Antonio is a sort of sister restaurant of the Restaurant Da Antonio, which was opened in 1999 in the street Vilniaus gatve. One evening we went to the Trattoria for dinner and sat down at one of the tables on the wooden outdoor terrace. These tables are just perfect for people watching in the pedestrianised street Pillies gatve. The interior of the Trattoria is kept simple, but homely. Red white checkered table cloth seem to be a typical detail of the place. The menu offers a wide range of pizzas as well as delicious pasta and meat meals. I opted for the Pizza Salami and a big Svyturys beer. I was more than happy with my dinner, which came to 22,90 Litas (about 6,90 Euro; 2006). I especially enjoyed people watching.

One late afternoon after a lot of sightseeing we had a rest on the riverside terrace of the Uzupio Kavine. It is said to be the only restaurant with river views in Vilnius and therefore can often be crowded on warm summer days. We only had a few drinks and a bread snack here, but really enjoyed the atmosphere by the river. The outdoor terrace also offers a perfect view of the mysterious mermaid that sits in a niche in the wall on the opposite side of the river. The interior of the restaurant is kept in a red brick simple style. They even sell Uzupis merchandise here (e.g. T-Shirts with the Uzupis constitution). As we only had a few beers and a snack here, I can't really comment on the quality of the food, but I can highly recommend the place because of its lovely atmosphere.

The Lithuanian-American proprietor, Rita Dapkus, who also does the highly acclaimed Ritos Sleptuve, has another winner! The only concession in this otherwise all-Lithuanian restaurant is Marlboro cigarettes. Lithuanian to the bone, down to the salt shakers and ceramic beer mugs. Rita has strictly banished Coca-Cola, Sprite and anything else that cant make a good case for being genuinely Lithuanian. Instead of Coke, youll have to choose between carrot and apple juice. Hearty, king-sized meals at amazingly reasonable prices. The menu includes dumplings, ribs, plus items that might give you reason to pause, like cow tongue. The atmosphere can be electric, especially on weekends, when the restaurant features charged-up Lithuanian folk dancers. Ritas Tavern is a little hard to find. Look for the wooden roof sticking out behind the Neste station. Leave a Comment Theme: LocalPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: least expensiveAddress: Zirmunu 68
