"Vilnius’ historic centre plays host to a lovely courtyard of shops and eateries, all owned by the same team, with the flagship being this lovely industrial-style restaurant with a refreshingly laid-back feel. You are given a sealed menu – to open either now or later – which comprises a series of around 10 dishes that flow effortlessly into one another. The dumplings with mushrooms are a joy to eat, as is the beautifully cooked Danish beef with a wonderful chicken caramel – and their farm plays a pivotal role when it comes to the produce. The kitchen counter is the place to sit, so that you can interact with Chef Andrius and his genial team." - Michelin Inspector

What an incredible dining experience! This is hands down my favorite fine dining spot in Vilnius. I brought a group of 10 colleagues, and we were seated in a private room, which made the evening feel extra special. Our server was fantastic, guiding us through each dish and sharing the stories behind them. The menu was full of creative, well-balanced plates, each more impressive than the last. And the final dessert? It completely stole the show and became the highlight of our conversations for the rest of the night—it definitely delivered the shock factor! I’d recommend this place without hesitation, especially if you’re hosting international colleagues and want to give them a memorable experience in Vilnius.

One of the best dining experiences - food, atmosphere and team! We were lucky to get chef’s table. We got 2 different wine pairings and no regrets: full, drunk and happy for having this experience. Highlight of the evening - crazy dessert and Polaroid picture that we will keep as a nice memory. Thanks! It was pity to not meet chef but I guess next time is coming ❤️

Absolutely wonderful meal and fantastic service. Had the veggie tasting menu and every dish was not only delicious, but artfully presented. Staff explain each dish in a fun manner, enhancing the experience. Very imaginative creations.

Some good courses - Hello (pork crackling and apple), dumplings and ant on ice cream were highlights. Dairy cow beef was a mistake as it was quite tough and the accompanying chicken caramel sauce was cold. Paprika tasted like red pepper mousse on rye bread - didn't enjoy this as a desert. Enjoyed the wine pairing. Forgot our coats when we were leaving and had to get them ourselves, same with the next couple behind us. Some quirky service which doesn't fit this price point.

The service is excellent. The food, however, has major shortcomings. The first dish, with salad and vegetables, felt like something you’d feed a caged rodent. The starters were otherwise good but extremely small, even considering it’s a multi-course menu. The intermediate dumplings were absolutely outstanding, made according to the head chef’s mother’s recipe. I’ve never encountered a Michelin-starred restaurant where bread and butter are counted as one course, or where a palate cleanser served before the mains is also considered a separate course. And then it turned out that in this 10-course menu, there was exactly one actual main course. The classic wine pairing (5 wines) cost €107, which I cannot justify after tasting their quality. They were decent but nothing special. I don’t know if the Michelin Guide came to Lithuania “by force,” but having dined at many starred restaurants across Scandinavia, this place has no rightful place on that list, apart from its excellent customer service. The overall quality of both the food and wine does not, by any means, correspond to the high price point.

This is the best experience I’ve ever had at a restaurant. The food was sublime, featuring flavors and presentations I had never seen or tasted before. The wine was absolutely outstanding — for example, we had a Tuscan red that was among the best I’ve ever tasted. The Riesling was equally impressive, and the Eiswein sent me straight into dreamland. But the very best part was the atmosphere created by the staff. Incredibly present, authentic, and generous. Vilnius is a fantastic place to visit, and this restaurant alone could be reason enough to come to the Lithuanian capital.

Staffs are very friendly and nice, which makes the whole experience more joyful. I liked the storytelling of each dish. The waiter was so mindful that he noticed we don’t like drinking alcohol, he recommended sparkling grape juice produced at their farm. We had grape juice with berries and rosemaries, it was very nice. Every dish was interesting and delicious but the three most impressive dishes for me were 1. Third dish: the texture was quite interesting; the outside is crispy but the inside is incredibly soft, and the caviar was the cherry on the top; it makes the overall taste not bland or oily. 2. Taco: hats off to the chef’s imagination. Absolutely loved the taste of the harmony of all the ingredients, and the story behind the dish. 3. Ice cream with ants: ants go perfectly well with the ice cream. Never thought I would enjoy eating ants. When it comes to dessert, it could be a little more creative as all the desserts were ice cream/sorbet. The sorbet before the main dish was delightfully refreshing though. Overall, it was a lovely, tasty experience!

We had a nice evening in Nineteen18. The menu and the wine pairing were good. We had the standard pairing but you can also decide to take the premium version. They placed some specials: We had ants in the dessert for example. The dumplings, the veil and the tatar were our highlights. The ambience is really nice but unfortunately it is a big room which makes it hard to talk sitting on large tables. The service in general was friendly, sometimes a bit over the top on the one hand. On the other hand one member of the team was not very open minded, nearly did not speak one word to us or smiled. He also seemed not very well-groomed for this kind of restaurant.At the end we got a Lithuanian digestiv which was a good end of the evening.
