Etno Dvaras

Top choice in Vilnius


Yes, this is a chain. Yes, the cutesy 'Lithuanian countryside' theme is over the top. But we love this temple to Lithuanian stodge with all our hearts. There is something immensely satisfying about its monumental stacks of potato pancakes, slabs of pork roast, generous spreads of dumplings and superlative cepelinai. Your waistline won't thank you but your taste buds will.
