It was all change in 2026 when Vita Bartininkaitė closed her Pas mus restaurant and returned to the kitchen here at Nineteen18, where she was joined by Justinas Misus. They may have all the latest techniques, but what makes the cooking so appealing is that it’s discernibly Lithuanian and makes great use of the country’s produce; even the herbs for the tea served at the end of the 10-course dinner come from Vita’s mother’s garden. Highlights include the succulent beef tartare with honeyed brioche, and refreshing sour cherry ‘snow’ served before dessert. Ask for the counter to get it on the acti

The roots of this heritage building sit back in the 17th century, but the moniker means much more than this, with the owners naming it to be: “About home, about connection, about roots. About where we come from and where we are going”. With this in mind, the experienced chef welcomes guests with a shot of Lithuanian moonshine and presents the multitude of dishes with lengthy explanations. Many ingredients come from their farm in Radiškis, and the nose-to-tail cooking is inspired by his childhood memories – in particular, his great-grandmother’s recipes. The highly original, boldly flavoured di

Demo's monochrome décor takes in black ash units, black candles and tiny black & white portraits – an echo of the equal measures of boldness and restraint in Chef-Owner Tadas Eidukevičius' cooking. His imaginative set menu changes throughout the year and works to promote cultural exploration, with intriguing dish names building excitement. You might move from a 'Broth of Tranquility' (mushroom stalks, elderflower, roasted nuts), through 'Peculiar Ideas' (halibut, yeast, carrots, vanilla, smoked mackerel, ginger, coffee), before finishing with 'Gratitude' (cauliflower, apricot, nashi pear, herb

Set in the heart of the Old Town, 14Horses has a sleek, pared-back look and a pleasantly relaxed vibe. Its unusual name comes from the restaurant’s previous location in the old stables of Pacai Palace, and leans on the idea that a nobleman needed 14 horses to be considered truly aristocratic. Thankfully though, both the prices and the style of the cooking here are a little more down to earth. Dishes proudly show off ingredients from the restaurant's regenerative farm in Radiškis, and the bold, well-defined flavours are delivered in original combinations.

Sister to Momo Grill and monai, this laid-back restaurant has a sleek, modern style. Parquet floors sit below striking faux-candle chandeliers, while shelves of wine fill vintage sideboards. Punchy, colourful dishes blend Mediterranean and Middle Eastern flavours and are offered in two different formats: the majority of the menu comprises modern plant-led small plates – three per person plus a dessert is about right – but there are also three main courses which are based around fish or meat. Service is warm and friendly, and the courtyard terrace is a real boon.

2026 saw this fun and ever-popular Mexican restaurant move to bigger premises – complete with a pleasant terrace – making it the perfect place to come for a night out with friends. Start with their terrific traditional margaritas and order a range of dishes to share, from corn tacos to fajitas; do include the quesabirria, which comes with very succulent lamb – and, of course, the golden churros are the only way to finish. Prices are more than fair, especially when you consider the generous size of the dishes. The service team are well-organised, and the colourful room adds to the atmosphere.

On the border of the Old and the New Town you’ll find Gaspar’s, a neighbourhood restaurant with a long history as an eatery – look out for the original Yiddish restaurant sign above the door (this was once the Jewish Quarter). Chef Gaspar Fernandes was born in Goa, India and is of Portuguese heritage, so his cuisine is an intriguing blend of the two countries. The menu is concise, driven by the produce available and subtle Indian spicing, and dishes are generous and beautifully presented. “My mum’s curry” is available in several varieties and the naan bread uses locally milled whole wheat flou
