Elven — Restaurant in Vilnius

Very strong contender for top 10 in Vilnius. But…

Three of us went for a dinner. Waiter was very attentive. We ordered quite a mix. Starters were excellent as was the main course (fish and lamb)

When it came to dessert the choice was at best confusing. Each dessert is a list of ingredients only with no clue as to what you get. This is pretentious and they would do well to remove this idea. One of our party didn’t have anything because they didn’t know what was being offered.

Simply said worst service ever. Also it took almost 2.5h to serve 3 course tasting menu, never waited that long for food. Food wise only small hiccups, the monkfish dish had spinach and lambs lettuce on the top and wasn’t washed properly, you could taste sand in your teeth also the dessert was way too sweet and this is being said by someone who...

Over months, their pike ceviche was one of the best things I have had. Seabuckthorn combined with thyme and honey. It's a...
