Ertlio Namas

A rare 5 star review from me. Absolutely delightful, interesting food, based on an intelligent (but not pedantic) historical approach to creating dishes and using the best seasonal produce of Lithuania. Pleasant and well informed staff. Not to mention excellent value for money. I will certainly go again on every future visit to Vilnius.

If you are in Vilnius and want to try a combination of fine dining and traditional Lithuanian cuisine, this is the place to be. Excellent food, but above all an amazing story behind every dish, along with exceptionally friendly staff. They even added a candle to the dessert for my birthday, which was a very thoughtful touch. For the level of service they provide, the price is definitely not too high. If you’re in Vilnius, this place is a must-visit

Visited in Sep 2025 Ertlio Namas is a Michelin guide restaurant located very conveniently in Vilnius Old Town (beside Vilnius University). The restaurant offers a fine dining experience with courses inspired from Lithuanian cuisine dating back to the 16th & 17th century. There were 2 tasting menus (7 course and 9 course) and I went with the 9 course meal. For €70++, I think the 9 course meal was an excellent value of money fine-dining experience. All the different courses are inspired from traditional dishes of different eras, with each dish being accompanied by an explanation of its historical origins, providing a unique educational component to the dining experience. The flavors were excellent and the presentation of the courses was also exquisite. Service was fantastic. I was mostly served by a person named Gytis, who was an excellent restaurant staff. He passionately and patiently explained the inspiration behind each course and how the dish represents the ethos of Lithuanian cuisine. Overall, this was a very memorable meal and I would 100% recommend a dinner at Ertlio Namas if you’re in Vilnius.

A spectacular tasting experience! Don't miss it!!! I arrived at the place and met a waitress named Aibinia, she was charming all evening, with explanations of each dish that was served pleasantly and courteously, in-depth explanations of the chef's choices, historical explanations of the dish. An amazing experience that I will never forget! Aibinia you made my day

This restaurant offers a brilliant modern take on traditional Lithuanian dishes that truly impressed us. The chef skillfully elevates classic flavors with contemporary presentation while maintaining authentic taste. The service was excellent - our server was knowledgeable and attentive throughout the meal. The atmosphere is lovely and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for a memorable dining experience.

The place is a story. A story about the culinary history of Lithuania, told impeccably by the waitress, for every dish. It is not about the food, it is an culinary experience.

We had a table reservation for Saturday 4.10 at 20:00 for six people. The food and drink compatibility was 5/5 but that's where it all ended. We wanted a bottle of champagne (90€). We found half a bottle of that champagne which the waiter poured for us. The bill charged 96€ for this half bottle ?? we finally negotiated a price of 90€. While fixing the dishes the waiter dropped a knife on my blouse but didn't react in any way. We took a wine package but everyone was poured a different amount of wine which we immediately gave feedback about which was ignored. We told all this to the manager who finally came to ask how the evening went. All in all the whole evening and good food was ruined by bad customer service. I would have sent feedback directly to the restaurant as well but they don't have an email address. I don't recommend the restaurant in question. The waiter did his job without listening to the customer at all.

One of the best experiences I’ve ever had! The service was outstanding, and our waiter Evelina was so professional and passionate about her job. We had a 9-course meal, and I definitely suggest coming very hungry — by the 4th course I was already quite full. We celebrated a birthday, and Evelina arranged a dessert with a candle. It was such an amazing touch to end the evening. This restaurant is worth every single euro spent — from the service to the food quality, everything was incredibly high standard. I’m happy to have such gems in Vilnius.
