Christmas in Lithuania, From Vilnius to Kaunas

"On Liejklos Gatvė, in the heart of the city centre, and housed in a lovingly restored town house, One Michelin Starred Džiaugsmas offers a unique dining experience built on a foundation of creative Lithuanian traditions, ingredients and tastes. Spread over several floors, diners are offered starters like Lithuanian doughnuts with locally-sourced black pudding, and mains that offer the flavours of the Baltic and North Seas, like halibut and shrimp mousse." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team

Džiaugsmas

"In the very centre of the city sits this fine period house, whose exterior belies the industrial-style modernity that sits within. Several dining areas are spread about the building; sit in the main room for a moody atmosphere, where you can also view the locally aged meats on offer. Sharing plates lead the way on the à la carte but there’s also a tasting menu with snacks such as a doughnut with black pudding and mains like halibut with shrimp mousse. Dishes are easy to eat, with a pared-back style that allows the flavours of the core ingredients to shine through, creating a truly memorable experience." - Michelin Inspector

One of the top restaurants in Vilnius! We got the ribs to share and a few appetizers! Nothing disappointed! The potatoes were out of this world. Highly recommended!! A++

The restaurant has a very lovely and romantic atmosphere – my wife and I really enjoyed our evening there. It felt cozy and intimate, just perfect for a date night. A big thank you and compliments to the chef – every dish was delicious, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. We truly appreciated the harmony of flavors and the overall concept. Solid 10/10 for the food! The only downside was the service. 1. We had a reservation, but still had to wait quite a while before someone seated us, even though the restaurant wasn’t full. 2. We are English-speaking, and unfortunately the waiter didn’t explain the dishes to us – that felt a bit unprofessional. 3. Nobody checked in to ask how we were enjoying the meal – a small touch that could have made the experience feel warmer. 4. And the most concerning part – when having a tasting menu, it’s usually standard to ask about allergies or dietary restrictions. We weren’t asked, even though we noticed the table next to us was. That was our personal experience, but overall we had a wonderful evening with excellent wine and food. Thank you!p

Creative dishes as expected from 1-start Michelin restaurant. We selected a la carte menue and most of dishes where good. Comparatively to other Michelin restaurants in the US and others countries, service in this restaurant is quite casual. It's not bad, just not as smooth as expected. I will be surprised if next year it will keep it's star. Still good restaurant to visit, especially for the price.

Overall it was a nice experience but we expected more from this 1 Michelin star restaurant. We went with the tasting experience which was 120 euro per person. The food was beautifully presented, but the dishes didn’t “wow” us compared to other Michelin dining experiences we’ve had before. The non-alcoholic pairing was also different than the menu presented. The restaurant is very dark and moody even though the name translates to “Joy” and the music didn’t seem to match the vibe. When we were leaving, there was also no one to grab our jackets for us, so we took them ourselves and it was hard to see as they were stored in a very dark corner. We also had a large party seated behind us that was rowdy and made it difficult to chat amongst our table; this impacted the ambiance for us. The restaurant wasn’t very busy as it was a Monday night and I would suggest having groups sit in a separate area where they did not disturb others.

Delicious food and stunning plates! Unfortunately there was no surprise menu, only a-la-carte. But still it was a surprise! Very friendly staff who speaks good English. Unfortunately they don't accept American Express credit cards.

We tried their tasting dinner based on friends’ recommendations and Michelin Guide. Both of us were highly impressed, enjoyed pretty much every single meal, and had an amazing time. Highly recommended this for your first fine dining/star experience as it’s super high quality, though throughout, and considerably cheaper when comparing to other similar establishments across the rest of Europe.

Excellent experience here. 4 of us in town for only 2 nights and so we needed to be picky. Everything was presented beautifully, good wine list and descent sized portions. We tried all the deserts, the mushroom one and the potato peel ones were not for me, but the doughnut balls with salted caramel can def recommend 👌

Went to the a la carte experience because i was a bit time constrained to only 1 hour as i needed to be somewhere else but it was a majestic experience, given my almost last minute booking. Did a couple of starters, the vegetarian main and the famous potato ice cream dessert. All the dishes were presented nicely and tasted heavenly as one would expect from a 1 Star Michelin restaurant. Recommend it to anyone who wants to experience creative lithuanian cuisine in the heart of the city. Thank you!
