Forto Dvaras

Forto Dvaras' Pilies street location (one of three in Vilnius) is the place to go if you want the authentic Lithuanian culinary experience. Choose between the cozy village cottage atmosphere of the upstairs or the cavernous downstairs cellar, rife with pagan murals and off-beat art. In either you'll be bombarded with original Lithuanian music that teeters between charming and alarming(ly godawful). But hey, it's part of the experience, which wins major points in the food department: much is the menu is produced strictly by the original techniques using local ingredients - an approach which has earned it its obscure accolades from the Gastronomic Heritage Foundation. Food from all different regions of LT is featured, including delicious regional soups served in a bread loaf and 12 varieties of that lead-in-the-stomach Lithuanian specialty - cepelinai.

"The kitchen is really national, and the place is nice. Look at all those small details on walls. Price is low for such a place. Quite popular - I tried to get there late in Thursday's evening but couldn't - it was crowded. "

"What's wrong with Forto Dvaras in Old Town? It used to be my favorite Lithuanian restaurant, but recently got bad service from the kitchen. Once got a small bunch of chips with my meat, greasy and obviously thrown in as a left over from the preparation of some other dish, because too few. Another time got the food exceedingly fast, was supposed to be warm and it was stone cold, same for the accompanying chips, that must have been sitting around for a while before being served. When the waitresses got back the dish still full, she didn't bother asking what the problem was."

"The place in Old Town (they also have different locations, where I have not been) is usually busy all day long, working hours from 11 to 22. Big menu with lot of stuff, inviting repeated visits. In spite of being busy, service was acceptably prompt with a crew that bust their ass; service was in fact consistently very good, as well as food, also well presented. "
