Ertlio Namas

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.

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.

For us Ertlio Namas is the best restaurant in Vilnius. The service is very friendly, professional and accommodating. Thanks to Gustas who made our evening perfect. The menu and the wine pairing are creative, local and very special. You will get to know interesting facts about history and learn storys concerning the menu. The preparation and design of the food were excellent. In the wine pairing they even offered a Lithuanian blueberry wine which was really good. We cannot say which were our favourite courses because the menu was just perfect. Thank you very much!

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.

I had a 7-course dinner with a special drink paired with each dish. To be honest, by the end of the meal, I felt a bit overwhelmed by the variety of flavors. Interestingly, the most delicious items were the chef’s compliments – the bread at the beginning and the chocolate at the end. There were also many legends and stories behind the courses, but they felt somewhat artificial and, to be honest, a bit too much. Overall, though, it was a great experience for my first day in Vilnius.

Very unique and tasty dining experience. Their multiple course menu goes through the eras of Lithuanian history, each bite coming with its own explanation from the staff. Highly recommend to take it with the alcohol pairing menu! A cool and interactive way to learn about the culture:)
