“Vyno vieta” means Wine place in Lithuanian and it is a very apt name for a small wine bar based on the fringes of Vilnius city centre. Being away from main tourist roads and attractions it has quickly established itself as a cozy neighbourhood spot. One big and a few small tables coupled with a huge TV makes it a perfect place for a private tasting or watching basketball game with friends. During the warm season Vyno vieta also has a spacious street terrace. The wine selection is not particularly huge but represents most key wine regions from around the world and contains some gems at great...

Burbulio vyninė is a small wine bar/shop in the old town of Vilnius, not far away from À ta santé. While À ta santé focuses on French wine, Burbullio vyninė’s theme is Italy. And that can be said not only about wine selection but also about snacks like cheeses, cold cuts, and such specialties as nduja. The ambience of the place is also very much Italian: slightly chaotic, laid back, simple, and without a hint of snobbery. And that is a big part of why this place has built a staunch loyal clientele. Most of the wines at Burbulio vyninė are self imported, and since the place works both as a wi...

The aptly named restaurant Dine can be considered one of the pioneers of modern cuisine in Vilnius and throughout the years has gained a loyal clientele among the locals and city guests. Created by locally well-known chef Egidijus Lapinskas and five-times Lithuanian Sommelier champion Arminas Darasevičius, Dine is not strictly a fine-dining place, but nor is it casual. Dishes are well executed and beautifully plated with strong seasonal and local imprints and service is welcoming, relaxed, and smooth without any stiffness. Despite his many titles, you can often find Arminas himself working t...

Vilnius’ Užupis district forms a special and important part of our capital city. Like Copenhagen’s Christiania, it is an artistic hub, full of art galleries, workshops, and boutiques. It has its own community, its own constitution and proclaimed itself an independent republic inside Vilnius itself. It is also becoming an area to visit for a good meal and drink. One of the places creating this reputation is Le Travi, a tiny Italian pasta and natural wine bar. Le Travi’s menu is short and simple. But here lies its strength – all the pasta, bread, and gnocchi are made in-house and are extremely...

The world nowadays is extremely dynamic and fast changing and nowhere it is felt so much as in the restaurant industry. But at the same time people value and are looking for something stable and constant. A place where they know what to expect. One such place is also one of the oldest still operating restaurants in Vilnius: French brasserie Saint Germain. Throughout its almost 20 years of life, the menu changes have been very minor, and the team has been very stable, ensuring a high quality of service. The only thing which has been changing in the otherwise solid-as-stone restaurant is its w...

The Bubbles. Champagneria is one of the first, and certainly the longest surviving, bars dedicated to sparkling wines and Champagne. Located in the old town area with, probably, the highest concentration of bars in the city The Bubbles forms an important part of Vilnius’ nightlife. It is rather small, cosy, and very lively, especially on weekends. There is no food menu except for oysters when fresh ones are available, but what it doesn’t lack is Champagne and sparkling wine. The list is constantly changing and always includes more than 100 sparkling wines and Champagne. The champagne selection...

Tucked in a narrow Ligoninės (Hospital’s) street in Vilnius‘ old town À ta santé is a small cosy wine bar. During weekdays it is a rather quiet and relaxing place, but towards the end of the week, you'll be lucky if you get a seat there. As the name suggests, the bar is focused on French wines and in particular the Loire Valley ― or to be even more precise, Saumur ― which is the home place of the owner Patrick Le Scel. The wine list is quite short but very dynamic, as Patrick is always on the lookout to find something new to share with his loyal clientele. His choices most often consist of...
