Review: Etno Dvaras, Lithuania Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ A delightful amalgamation of traditional Lithuanian gastronomy and authentic cultural experience, Etno Dvaras deserves a solid four-star rating. This enchanting spot successfully brings forth the essence of Lithuanian heritage, providing not just a meal but a truly immersive experience. One cannot miss the charm and warmth of the rustic interiors, a clear nod to the country's rich history and traditional architecture. The atmosphere is comforting and welcoming, setting the stage for the culinary journey that ensues. The menu is a love letter to Lithuania's robust and diverse food culture. Each dish is prepared with a sense of respect for the traditional cooking methods and an unwavering commitment to flavour and quality. While every item on the menu is worth trying, their cepelinai (traditional potato dumplings) is an absolute must-try, transporting one directly to the Lithuanian countryside. The service was friendly and efficient, enhancing the overall dining experience. The staff was knowledgeable about the menu, ready to recommend dishes and share stories about their origins, which added a unique touch to our visit. One minor point of improvement could be the speed of service during peak hours, which could be a bit more prompt. However, given the overall quality of the food and the unique cultural experience, this is a small matter that did not significantly detract from the experience. In conclusion, Etno Dvaras is a rare gem that beautifully preserves and presents Lithuanian culture and cuisine. It's a must-visit spot for anyone wanting to sample the delights of traditional Lithuanian cuisine in an authentic and warm setting. I'm giving it a well-deserved four-star rating and will certainly revisit it in the future.

At the beginning I was a bit skeptical: very touristic location in the main street of Vilnius old town and the claim of serving the real Lithuanian food. But I was tired for the long bus journey and the evening was starting to get a bit too fresh so I decided to step in. First positive point: you have to wait to be seated, great! It avoids confusion and helps the waitresses (with typical Lithuanian rural clothes) to get their job done. My waitress found me a table relatively quickly and I placed immediately all the orders, which she managed to bring avoiding me long waiting times. Service is amazing, all waitresses speak perfect English, they're extremely efficient and gentle, even if it's clear they're working under pressure. Let's come to the food: guys, this is spot on! It's real homey, traditional food prepared with care and fresh ingredients, with a fair quality-price for being in the city center, something many restaurants would use to raise their prices beyond what's reasonable. Payment with card is always possible even if I used cash to leave a good tip to the waitress, because she definitely deserved it. For all the food and beverage in my pics, I spent less than 28 Euro. I leave the comments to you. Best advice for traditional and non-touristic food in the old town!

A popular Lithuanian speciality restaurant) Good meal and prices but nothing extraordinary. It is located in the heart of the Vilnius Old Town, not far from the main attractions of the city. This place attracts your attention with its original interior and a huge crowd of people every time. You can try out Lithuanian cuisine here. Etno Dvaras is perfect for lunch or dinner, for a large company or a small one. The restaurant is divided into several zones outside and inside but it's always full. In general, the menu looks good and includes popular traditional Lithuanian dishes. Some of them seemed so heavy and greasy compared with the similar ones in other Lithuanian restaurants. I had limited time and asked for the dish prepared quickly. The staff helped me to choose food, and the service was ok at the beginning. Then I was waiting more than I had to be. It also took a while to get a bill. Unfortunately, my impression of the place had changed. My dish was too greasy and hot for me but the tea was delicious) So I had mixed feelings.

While the wait was long reserving was an option so we had ourselves to blame for that. But the fact plenty of tables were cleared and cleaned and we still had to wait is a bit annoying. Especially since people are let in, in waves. Miss a wave and you might wait mugh lobger than people just joining the queue. The food tasted great though and drinks on offer were also nice. Great sides really finish the dishes. A bit of a let down was when I reached the core of my meat, since it was freezing cold. Not uncooked mind you, but just really hard and cold. Since I took a while to eat it and that it was thoroughly cooked it had to have been improperly reheated. It makes sense that the piece of meat I ordered could never be entirely cooked in time for a guest, but letting it come to room temp before reheating it would be apreciated. The flavour of everything however was great. So that detail didn't ruin my dinner at all.

This cozy Lithuanian eatery offers a taste of Baltic cuisine, though the experience is a mixed bag. The potato dumplings (likely cepelinai) were a highlight - hearty, flavorful, and authentically prepared. They captured the essence of Lithuanian comfort food and left me wanting more. Unfortunately, the kvas was disappointing. This traditional fermented beverage was overly sweetened, masking its characteristic tangy flavor. A more balanced approach to the kvas would greatly improve the drink selection. Service, while friendly, was noticeably slow. Be prepared to wait longer than expected for your meals, which can dampen the overall dining experience. The restaurant has potential, especially for those seeking authentic Lithuanian dishes. However, improvements in beverage quality and service efficiency would go a long way in elevating this establishment to a must-visit spot for Eastern European

We’ve tried twice this restaurant which is well situated, closed to the Amber Museum-Gallery, Vilnius University and Literatai Street. The first time we ordered the cold beetroot soup(my first time tasting such a pink soup), Stripes of hot-smoked pig ears(not very cured), Country style Zeppelin with meat inside(typical but enough for once) and STRONGMAN’ roast(Pork neck roast with baked potato slices, Japanese-flavor cabbage salad, tomatoes and amazing garlic sauce) served with homemade beer Butautu Dvaro. As for the second time we ordered two soups Sauerkraut soup with pork rib(a little bit salty for me), Creamy wild mushroom soup served in a bread loaf bowl(really yummy if you do enjoy mushroom) and Baked pork shank(oven baked, lightly smoked pork shank tasted like KFC’s famous new Orleans Chicken Wings) served also with local beer Svyturio Baltas(full of the savor of wheat).
