Flavours OF Old VILNIUS
Every Flavor Tells a Story
From the scratch-books of local relatives, some of which date back to the 19th century, to our own discoveries, we’ve done our best to represent local cuisine in our Menu. This is what we’ve worked so hard on. Back alley tales from around these parts. Where it should be.
That’s the way it is; you might not recognize the names of the well-known authors and historians who once occupied these rooms in the 19th century or earlier, but we think they had excellent taste. We hope you will think so too.
So here is the local menu.
Menu which is based on the history we were looking for. Menu which was told to us and was adapted to the nowadays techniques.
Welcome.
Visit us, and get embraced by gastronomic secrets of Vilnius bourgeois cuisine, Old Town cosiness as well as our sincere hospitality.

À la Carte Menu
Restaurant’s menu reflects the traditions of Vilnius bourgeois gastronomy by relying on old culinary publications and even original notes of the housewives.
Our main source of knowledge, as well as inspiration, is a cookbook called “Kucharka Litewska”, written by Wincentyna A.L. Zawadzka. This precious manual was published in XIX century, the first copies of which got printed in the neighbouring street to our current restaurant location.
However, we are not intended to recreate the old dishes precisely as during long decades not only our own perception of taste got changed, but technologies too. Thus, we are bringing the old recipes to daylight, and share their modern interpretations in the best seasonality-based way.

Food and wine pairing
Wine List
XVIII century was the time when remarkable vin français cult emerged in Lithuania’s culture: it successfully took roots and stayed until the present days.
In pre-war Vilnius, bourgeois citizens were enjoying German and Hungarian wines, but the French ones coming from Bordeaux as well as Burgundy were the most desirable. During those times enogastronomy, explained by food and wine pairing, gained popularity too.
Today the diners in our restaurant can enjoy various wines from the different winemaking regions that serve as a great aperitif or excellent food companion. We are very glad that our list is flourished with local Lithuanian production too. When the most advanced European winemaking traditions are being followed, even carefully selected fruits, as well as unusual berries, can turn to quality wine!
