Saula

Top choice in Vilnius


Lithuanian staples find elegant expression at this contemporary cellar restaurant: herring with dill foam, duck drizzled with blackcurrant and buckthorn-garnished panna cotta. Birch tables and pale stone walls impart a light, airy feel, while pagan statuettes and modern-art knick-knacks mirror the old-meets-new menu. Best of all, the produce is locally sourced and informed by the seasons.
