28 restaurants British Bokšto Vartai C-3, Bokšto 2, tel. (+370) 5 260 96 64. Popular with locals and foreigners alike, this two-floor Old Town restaurant in a fabulous historical building is a joint Lithuanian-British venture that fuses together the best aspects of both cultures. The menu is impressive and has yet to disappoint, whether it’s their classic English breakfast or the monster burgers and fries. There’s a great selection of beers at good prices too, plus the occasional evening of live music. QOpen Mon, Tue 12:00 - 16:00, Wed 12:00 - 23:00, Thu, Fri, Sat 12:00 - 24:00, Sun 13:00 - 17:00. 25Lt. PJASW Chinese Didžioji Kinija H-3, Konstitucijos 12, tel. (+370) 5 263 63 63, www.kinuvirtuve.lt. One of a small chain of Chinese restaurants in town, all of them worthy of further culinary investigation, Didžioji Kinija’s location may not be exactly central but is certainly calling for a visit. As with the vast majority of Chinese food in Vilnius, this is the real thing, not the adulterated imitation usually served up in places like the UK. The menu itself is massive, not unlike the actual dishes of which there’s a good range to suit all, including vegetarians. The current business lunch served here, which can be eaten in-house or taken away, is ridiculously good value indeed. Recommended. QOpen 11:00 - 22:00, Sat 12:00 - 23:00, Sun 12:00 - 22:00. 25Lt. PTAVBSW Fine dining California Gourmet C-5, Subačiaus 2 (Ramada Hotel & Suites Vilnius), tel. (+370) 5 255 33 55, www. californiagourmet.lt. The five-star Ramada Hotel & Suites Vilnius’ flagship gourmet restaurant offers the ultimate in dining, from the sophisticated décor through to the mouth- watering food. Billed as the first gourmet restaurant in Lithuania, the food here is taken very seriously indeed and gets most of its inspiration from the melting pot of cuisines coming out of the United States. The menu is impressive and includes a wealth of classy dishes from a much talkedabout Caesar salad to fresh lobster to foie gras. QOpen 18:00 - 24:00, Sat 12:00 - 24:00, Sun 12:00 - 18:00. 65Lt. PTJAULBSW La Provence B-4, Vokiečių 22, tel. (+370) 5 262 02 57, www.laprovence.lt. This Vilnius favourite specialising in Mediterranean cooking at its best is generally crowded with tables full of well-heeled locals and foreigners tucking into a mouth-watering range of dishes including fish, grilled meat and a couple of vegetarian options. Prepared and delivered with the height of care, attention and even a little theatre, despite its reputation as a rather expensive restaurant, not only is it worth the money here there are also a number of dishes that won’t break the bank. Having said that, they do stock a couple of bottles of champagne for 1,000Lt a pop. Magnificent. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00. 70Lt. PTJAS Narutis Restaurant C-2/3, Pilies 24 (The Narutis Hotel - Preferred Boutique), tel. (+370) 5 212 28 94, www.narutis. com. Lush burgundy and orange fabrics and glorious 18thcentury frescoes, white tablecloths and staff with impeccable style, that’s what people have grown to expect in this top notch Old Town hotel restaurant. There’s plenty of imitators hereabouts, but in Naručio Restoranas you get the real thing, meaning great service and great food. The menu features an imaginative concoction of dishes from around the world, including one of the best kybyn (a Lithuanian Karaite speciality) in the country to a mouth-watering Chilean sea bass. Using fresh ingredients to create works of art on every plate, this one really is hard to beat. QOpen 11:00 - 23:00. 65Lt. PTJABSW Vilnius In Your Pocket vilnius.inyourpocket.com
Stikliai C-3, Gaono 7 (Stikliai Hotel), tel. (+370) 5 264 95 80, www.stikliaihotel.lt. A small but magnificent menu of wonderful dishes featuring such classic favourites as black truffles and a proper sorbet, all served from soup to nuts by impeccable staff in truly sumptuous surroundings. Whereas most hotel restaurants are best avoided, this one is more than an exception. Backpackers and stag parties might like to find somewhere else to eat. People with style who know a good thing when they see it and who like to impress might like to book a table. Q Open 12:00 - 15:00, 18:00 - 23:30. Sat 12:00 - 23:30. Closed Mon, Sun. 90Lt. PTJAUBW French Aux Champs - Elysées A-3, Pylimo 22d, tel. (+370) 5 205 81 92, info@mlgrupe.com, www.eliziejauslaukai. lt. Popular with a wide range of locals and foreigners alike, the décor is French without being over the top and the menu, including plenty of French favourites including snails and that also features weekly changing dishes, is genuinely excellent. There’s pleasant live music every Thursday from 18:00 too.QOpen 10:00 - 22:00. 25Lt. JA Balzac C-4, Savičiaus 7, tel. (+370) 614 892 23, www.balzac.lt. From the fun tables in the little back room to the slightly punky waitress to the fact that the place was heaving on a Monday night to the amusing music policy, everything during our last outing here was just right. The small menu also scored very well, with the red pepper soup and the steak being particularly exceptional. Recommended for all types of dining. QOpen 11:30 - 23:00, Fri 11:30 - 24:00, Sat 12:00 - 24:00, Sun 12:00 - 22:00. 30Lt. PTJABS vilnius.inyourpocket.com restaurants August - November 2012 29
