Gabi, Restaurant in the Old Town of Vilnius, Lithuania
Gabi is a restaurant in the Old Town of Vilnius, housed in a building parts of which date back to the 16th century. The interior features wooden beams, vaulted brick chambers in the basement, wooden carvings, and 18th-century paintings of nature scenes on the walls.
The restaurant opened in 1994 in an old cottage that had previously belonged to artists. The building itself is far older, with structures from the 16th century still visible inside.
The restaurant sits on a small street in the Old Town, just steps from the Bernardine church and Saint Anne's church. Inside, old photographs of Vilnius, antique silver pieces, and blacksmith tools line the walls, giving a concrete sense of how the city once looked and lived.
The restaurant has outdoor seating in a courtyard, shaded by a long grapevine, which is a good option in warmer months. Reservations are a good idea for weekends or if you are planning a special occasion.
The basement of the restaurant is a vaulted brick chamber from the 16th century that guests can still sit in today. In winter, a large fireplace heats the space and gives it a noticeably different feel from the rest of the building.
