I was so very excited to visit Vilnius. In my research, I have read of location of hills with a river passing through, the many beautiful churches, the fortress on the hill, the friendly people, the interesting art, and fantastic music. It was all there.....and so much more. I was cold and snowy but my heart was warmed by the experience.

A hidden gem in Vilnius
This restaurant is wonderful and unique. It is staffed by reformed drug addicts. We were a little skeptical, but hungry and wanted fresh vegetable. Because the menu was full of salads we thought we would have a starter and then go to another place for a main course. That was not necessary! They server salads that will satisfy even a large appetite. They are interesting and fresh combinations. You will find a large variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. There is no alcohol served, but you will not miss it. They have a variety of teas, coffee, and soft drinks. We even ventured into the desert area. We normally have issues finding a great chocolate desert in Europe. This was the exception. The deserts were fresh and fabulous.

The décor is very tasteful and minimalist and comfortable. The wait staff was very accommodating and did a great job. We will definitely go back to this jewel of restaurant when we go back to Vilnius.

Affordable luxury in Vilnius Old Town
This hotel is in a beautiful building and is in the middle of everything. The rooms have nice views of the old town, as well. The restaurant is good, not great. It's convenient but a bit overpriced for Vilnius. You can easily get higher quality food for a better price in surrounding restaurants.

The rooms are average European size and well furnished. The beds are comfy. The baths are clean and stylish with all the toiletries.

This is good choice for a couple for a weekend. It was a nice experience.
