Reviews of Lithuanian Restaurants in Vilnius
It's a tourist trap, avoid at all costs! They do not know the ingredients of their dishes and are not ashamed of poisoning their clients. The managment lady acts like a spoiled brat and talks down to customers. I can't call this place a restaurant by any means.
Food is not tasty. Service is very bad
Very satisfied with our meals which were ample in the really tradtional atmosphere.the service was very nice.well worth a visit
I was yesterday at Amatininku Uzeiga in Vilnius and I was so excited of briliant service! The food was good, especially the beef steak. So once again thank you so much, because you made me so special. See ya next time when I'll be in Vilnius!
I chose the place by coincidence but it was a lucky choice.Place was crowdy on Saturday afternoon and we had to wait for a while for a table.But it was worth it.Food was good and waitress nice and friendly.The restaurant is located in very nice place.It is slow food restaurant (in good meaning).You have to wait for your order but looks like it is freshly made.You can spend that time to study menu to get familiar with Lithuanian dishes or try some local liquors to sharpen your apetitite. In short words - recommended.
I'm currently staying in the old town and i'm eating all my hot meals there! Really like it - good menu (mix of traditional and more trendy dishes), Great building/decor/ambience, reasonable prices. They do a 'tasting tray' of 6 x 20 ml of various local liqueurs for 5.80 euro, which is a good way to satisfy your curiosity (and most of them are very, very good). Service is friendly and efficient. Freshly cooked food takes a few minutes to prepare, have a drink and enjoy the atmosphere.
Lot's of respect for the true seasonality of produce! loved it in summer time, was happy to come back in Jan.
Sophisticated place for people who like tasting new food combinations. Interior and people make you feel welcome.
Simply gorgeous food....
Excellent contemporary food!
natural yet sophisticated, elegant and well thought food menu, lovely selection for drinks. it is a place to enjoy dinner time as it takes up to two hours for a full 4-5 courses food journey.
Awesome restaurant, lovely place to eat or have some nice time with friends. Highly recommended for everyone, good luck
Very good pizza and pasta carbonara. The service was also good.
I can not understand all this negative comment. this restaurant have a beautiful and nice staff, the price are very good. To sit outside in the summer is perfect. I have visit this place maybe 1000 times and i have never seen some problem with paying the bill for guests around me or my self. Here you can also have dinner to early in the morning... Absolutly one of the best place in Vilnius...........
We was overcharge for 300 litai! Awful~12
I went there to check for Zepelins. They were OK but I have tasted better around. It's a decent place worth a try.
Jeżeli jesteście w Wilnie to musicie koniecznietu tu być , aby zjeść najlepsze w mieście zeppeliny i genialny chlodnik . A poza tym , tu jest baaardzo przyjemnie
I have been in Vilnius April'10 and the first restaurant I was in was "Forto Dvaras" - one of their branches in Zirmunai District. It impressed me already from the exterior view of this wooden cottage with seating outside. Everything made of woods give you the impression of Medieval age. And definitely, you will find all these delicious Lithuanian dishes served by beautiful Lithuanian girls with really nice customer service. But, the best is gonna be the drinks that you will have which is their very own "Svyturys". I never tasted anything so amazing like that beer. So, I can recommend anyone, single or couple, with or without family to go there and have an amazing time.
Very expensive and stinks inside. Beer is not the best. The kitchen is ok, but there are better ones around.
Tip Top!
This place is legendary.
Hello. I have been in your restaurant on 02.01.2010. I would like to thank to the cook for delicious meals and hot wine. I’m sorry to say that but waitress was not kind for me and my friends. Apart that restaurant is nice for local people and for guests. I just wanna say the personnel was not kind for clients. Please take a look of it and infer. Greetings from Poland. I hope I will visit this place again. Krzysztof Smolinski
Witam Pañstwa. By³em w Pañstwa restauracji 02.01.2010 Chcia³em podziêkowaæ kucharzowi za wy¶mienite dania i gor±ce wino. Przykro mi stwierdziæ, ale kelnerka nie by³a wzglêdem mnie i moich znajomych uprzejma. Po za tym, restauracja bardzo przyjezdna dla tutejszych i odwiedzaj±cych tu go¶ci. Chcê zaznaczyæ, ¿e obs³uga nie by³a mi³a dla klientów. Proszê wyci±gn±æ z tego wnioski. Pozdrowienia z Polski i mam nadziejê, ¿e znowu odwiedzê ten lokal. Krzysiek Smoliñski.
The food was amazing. I am Italian and I think I know something about fine food. If you are looking for a real taste experience you must eat here!
Just back from Vilnius which we loved.We ate two nights in a row at Gabi's.We enjoyed it...lovely old time atmosphere..the servie a bit slow at times but probably because theres some good home made cooking going on from scratch back in the kitchen! We did not mind..the meals were delicious and waiter/waitress polite and helpful.A lovely place!
I've been a regular at Amatininku for a few years now.... it is one of the best bars in Vilnius!!!! Service is sometimes fast, sometimes slow... the beef steak is the best in town & the staff are usually very friendly indeed:) Nothing wrong with the place at all
Watch out for this place. They first gave me the bill of 70 litas, I gave the bartender a hundred, she gave me 10 litas in return. When I complained about it, they called security, then they told security that I had not payed at all, and told the security to take me to the police station, so I simply had to pay it all over again. This IS AVERY DODGY PLACE, WATCH OUT!
The kitchen is really national, and the place is nice. Look at all those small details on walls. Price is low for such a place. Quite popular - I tried to get there late in Thursday's evening but couldn't - it was crowded.
The resturant was fantastic. The food, the wine, the atmosphere, the service was absolutely suberb!
What's wrong with Forto Dvaras in Old Town? It used to be my favorite Lithuanian restaurant, but recently got bad service from the kitchen. Once got a small bunch of chips with my meat, greasy and obviously thrown in as a left over from the preparation of some other dish, because too few. Another time got the food exceedingly fast, was supposed to be warm and it was stone cold, same for the accompanying chips, that must have been sitting around for a while before being served. When the waitresses got back the dish still full, she didn't bother asking what the problem was.
What a s**thole!! Miserable staff, warm beer not to the top and it stinks!!
just the best place to eat in old town! Nice decoration in a traditional style, very good food and nice prices. we liked that almost all the food is a traditional recipets, and carefoully prepared. despite of lots of people the stuff was friendly to us. i recomend you this restaurant
avoid this place. interesting outside sign does not guarantees good service inside. We passed in just for beer and snack, the table was not clean, and the beer snack "pork leg" has not meat all all:) do not order this snack, cause you will pay for NOTHING. nagtive rate for this restaurant.
The place in Old Town (they also have different locations, where I have not been) is usually busy all day long, working hours from 11 to 22. Big menu with lot of stuff, inviting repeated visits. In spite of being busy, service was acceptably prompt with a crew that bust their ass; service was in fact consistently very good, as well as food, also well presented.
Great place, excellent food, good wine! I'll recommend it to everyone (and I'll return here for sure - next time in Vilnius).
It's because the owner is a jerk and perpetrator of underhanded dealings. Tourists (overweight Americans in particular) love this place, but the locals I think know better, that's why you hear mixed reviews...
Fantastic place, bit pricy but worth every penny! Real surprise, and I am going back there for sure (loved venison dish)
Yes, this is a charming restaurant. One extra point though - there are two menus, the one inside being rather more pricey!
My favourite restaurant in Vilnius - sweet garden!
