Lithuania happy to announce a place in The Michelin Guide 2024
Exciting news, foodies! Lithuania has officially earned its place in The MICHELIN Guide, standing proudly alongside its Baltic counterparts, Estonia and Latvia.
The dedicated Michelin Inspectors have been on a mouthwatering expedition across Lithuania, seeking out the very best dining experiences the country has to offer. From the quaint port city of Klaipėda, with its charming wood-framed buildings, to the picturesque town of Trakai, home to the awe-inspiring Trakai Island Castle on Lake Galvė, they’ve explored every corner in pursuit of culinary excellence.
And let’s not overlook Kaunas, boasting a medieval fortress and striking Modernist architecture (UNESCO-approved, no less!), or the captivating capital city of Vilnius, where Gothic, Renaissance, Classical, and Baroque styles blend seamlessly in a captivating architectural tapestry.
Throughout their journey, these Inspectors have indulged in a tantalizing array of dishes, from traditional Lithuanian delicacies to those infused with French, Italian, and Indian flavors. Whether savouring a humble yet mouthwatering bagel from the local market or delighting in an elaborate tasting menu showcasing the finest local ingredients, they’ve been continually impressed.
