Saint Germain

Vilnius


Focusing largely on Italian and French fare, and serving wine-friendly snacks such as oysters and scallop bruschettas, this stylish wine bar–bistro is tucked away on one of Old Town's nicest cobbled streets. If you want to enjoy your Ligurian-style zander (pikeperch; baked in foil with tomatoes, olives, potatoes and pine nuts) on the summer terrace, book ahead.
