Etno dvaras
Etno Dvaras is a restaurant on Pilies Street in the old town of Vilnius, Lithuania, specializing in traditional Lithuanian food. The interior features wooden furniture and folk art decorations, giving the space a straightforward and familiar feel.
Etno Dvaras has been operating for around 20 years, with a focus on historical Lithuanian recipes from the start. Chef Ramūnas Giraitis has worked closely with ethnologists to research and revive old dishes for the menu.
Etno Dvaras is known for dishes developed with the help of ethnologists, such as the traditional potato dish cepelinai. The restaurant occasionally features traditional Lithuanian music, giving meals an extra local feel.
The restaurant is open every day from late morning until midnight, so it works well for both lunch and dinner. Reservations are a good idea on weekend evenings, as the place tends to fill up quickly then.
Some of the recipes on the menu are over 100 years old and were reconstructed from old sources with the help of ethnologists. The restaurant works directly with local farmers to source fresh ingredients, which also supports small agricultural businesses in the region.
