Elven is a modern european fine-dining restaurant in Senamiestis, Vilnius.
Elven, behind a heritage cream facade near the Cathedral, is Michelin Selected for design-led modern plates and sharing dishes; sister to Nüman of Kaunas.
Must order: A sharing menu for two; the kitchen leans seafood with bold flavour pairings.

Address: L. Stuokos-Gucevičiaus g. 7, 01122 Vilnius
Stikliai inside the Relais & Châteaux hotel sits in a Baroque-Gothic building, Michelin-listed for French-influenced cooking by an old-Vilnius institution.
Order: The chef-led tasting menu; the wine list reaches into classic Burgundy.
Tip: The room is formal but jackets are not required. The glass-roof courtyard restaurant takes summer covers.
Lokys has run since 1972 in a 15th-century merchant's cellar on Stiklių, serving wild boar, venison and beaver under the second generation of the same family.
Order: Wild boar with lingonberry; share a beaver stew to taste the historical menu in full.
Tip: The oldest restaurant in Vilnius Old Town. Reserve the medieval cellar room for the full effect.

Tip: Book three weeks ahead for weekend tables; midweek is easier to secure for two.
Amandus on Užupio is chef Deivydas Praspaliauskas's Michelin-listed modern Lithuanian degustation room, a regular feature in Lithuania's 30 Best ranking.
