Monte Pacis

Top choice in Kaunas


Not only do you get to dine amid 17th-century baroque splendour, but you get to feast on the creations of chef Rokas Vasiliauskas, a member of the new generation of Lithuania's chefs whose committed use of Lithuanian produce and dishes that evoke nostalgia have won him many fans. The wine list is second to none.
