Vilnius is not only an interesting city with an extraordinary history, but also an absolute insider tip for<\/strong> foodies. In this article I’ll show you a few of my favorites among the numerous cafes, restaurants and bars in<\/strong> the Lithuanian capital, but a trigger warning in advance: your mouth will water! <\/p>\n\n

Vegan food in Vilnius: Rosehip Vegan<\/h2>\n\n

Located diagonally opposite the MO Museum<\/a>, the Rosehip Vegan<\/a> is already in a pretty cool neighborhood. For me, the perfect address for after-art lunch<\/strong> when you couldn’t get enough of the great exhibitions! As the name suggests, Rosehip Vegan serves delicious vegan cuisine<\/strong> that is also quite photogenic. The only drawback is the huge portions, which prevent you from trying the entire menu straight away. <\/p>\n\n

Tip:<\/strong> For coffee, I recommend you move to the <\/a>Ra\u0161tin\u0117<\/a> located on the opposite street corner.<\/p>\n\n

The cute tea house: Pinavija<\/h2>\n\n

The icy wind whipped through the streets, I was cold, my feet hurt from all the sightseeing (because who would have thought that there really is so much to see in Vilnius!) and actually I just wanted to take a quick break when I stumbled into Pinavija<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n

\n
\"Pinavija<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

But I could have guessed right away that there was another highlight waiting for me, because honestly: In Vilnius, one great location follows the next. Pinavija is a tea house<\/strong>, girl’s dream and cupcake heaven at the same time. In any case, I can highly recommend the mini quiche, but afterwards I was annoyed that I didn’t go for the sweet tartlets<\/strong> with the artfully swirled meringue topping – maybe you can make up for it for me? <\/p>\n\n

Breakfast in Vilnius: My Favorite<\/h2>\n\n

I would love to show off a very special breakfast location<\/strong> at this point, but the truth is: I didn’t even make it out of my hotel. But that’s no wonder, because breakfast at Hotel Pacai*<\/a> really is the kind of hotel breakfast that impresses. <\/p>\n\n

\"Hotel<\/figure>\n\n

Cozy & elegant: Hotel Pacai in Vilnius.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n

On the one hand, there is the really attentive and cordial service<\/strong> and the casual atmosphere<\/strong> despite the five stars that promise luxury emblazoned at the entrance, and on the other hand, the offer of a small, fine buffet<\/strong> and various \u00e0 la carte dishes<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n

\n

When it comes to buffets, I’m now part of the “less is more” team: rather a few, but good products, and I’m in breakfast heaven. In general, I didn’t want to leave Hotel Pacai again, and I can highly recommend it to you if you want to treat yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Coffee time at Italala Caff\u00e8<\/h2>\n\n

Something sweet for in between, good coffee or just a place where you can answer some mails on your laptop in a nice atmosphere? In the cozy Italala Caff\u00e8<\/a> you will find everything at once. <\/p>\n\n

Sugamour: Sweets for night owls<\/h2>\n\n

Perhaps you should save your sweet tooth for a little longer, because just a few doors down you’ll find one of six Sugamour<\/a> branches. Is already the facade pompously decorated – inside it continues with the finest petit fours<\/strong> and tartlets<\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n

The interior design with thousands and thousands of teddy bears takes some getting used to, but somehow it’s also pretty cute. And perfect for night birds<\/strong>: the branch at Vokie\u010di\u0173 gatv\u0117s<\/a> is open daily until 11 pm, and even until midnight on Friday and Saturday!<\/p>\n\n

Alchemikas: Booze & Co.<\/h2>\n\n

At Alchemikas<\/a> I got lost with a few nice acquaintances – although it almost didn’t happen. The extensive menu of this classic cocktail bar<\/strong> for cozy evenings literally fills an entire book, and I had a hard time deciding between all the delicious, tinkling cocktails. The good news was that somehow everything sounded very, very good and I was more than happy with my choice in the end! <\/p>\n\n

Amandus: Fine dining in Vilnius <\/h2>\n\n

In itself, it’s unusual that a Michelin-starred restaurant like Amandus<\/a> is located in the middle of the alternative artists’ district of Uzurpis<\/strong> – but after an evening there, you won’t be able to stop marveling anyway. When chef Deivydas Praspaliauskas<\/strong> flamb\u00e9ed my already appetizing-looking duck breast to ultimate perfection right in front of me at the table, I was convinced: an evening at Amandus is my absolute Vilnius tip for anyone with a taste for good food. And yes, it really is affordable!<\/p>\n\n

\n
\"Amandus<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

\n

The tasting dinner<\/strong> costs 70 euros, which is really nothing compared to what you would pay for a meal of this quality in many other European capitals – and for a surcharge, there is an extensive wine accompaniment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But if you have any preconceptions about the amount of food<\/strong> on your plate and all the fuss, I can reassure you: Firstly, I was more than full after the umpteen courses and explosions of flavor and secondly, the atmosphere at Amandus is pleasantly unpretentious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When: Wednesday to Saturday, starting at 7 pm, by reservation only here<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
