Chačapuri, Restaurant in the Paupio market, Vilnius, Lithuania
Chačapuri is a restaurant inside the Paupio market in Vilnius, Lithuania, focused on traditional Georgian cooking. It takes its name from the well-known Georgian cheese bread, which is the central dish on the menu and comes in several versions.
Georgian chačapuri bread has roots in the Caucasus and has been a staple in Georgia for centuries. The restaurant in Vilnius was opened by Gabija, bringing this tradition to the Lithuanian capital.
The restaurant sits inside the Paupio market, a busy place where people shop, eat, and spend time together. Georgian food is rarely found in Vilnius, so many visitors come here specifically to try dishes they cannot easily find elsewhere in the city.
The restaurant is inside the Paupio market building, so it is easiest to enter the market first and then look for the spot within. Going during less busy hours makes it easier to find a seat and enjoy the food at your own pace.
The owner Gabija describes the secret behind the cooking as a generous Georgian heart and a caring hand. This is how the staff themselves talk about their work, not as a slogan but as a genuine reflection of how the place runs.
