Lithuania’s Michelin-Star Dining Beckons: Flights from £29!

UPDATE: Travel enthusiasts, your next culinary adventure awaits! Flights to Vilnius, Lithuania are now available from just £29, making it easier than ever to experience the country’s exquisite Michelin-starred cuisine starting at £45. This comes as the MICHELIN Guide Lithuania 2025 has just launched, revealing a wealth of dining options that could redefine your travel plans.

This urgent update is perfect for food lovers eager for a unique cultural experience without breaking the bank. While London’s cheapest tasting menu typically costs over £100, Lithuania offers a gourmet escape for a fraction of the price. With multiple daily direct flights from major UK cities, you can reach this Eastern European gem in under three hours.

The new MICHELIN Guide introduces four one-star restaurants and eight Bib Gourmands, along with 25 recognized venues, many conveniently located in Vilnius’ charming Old Town. The city is rapidly gaining fame as a culinary destination, recently hosting its first-ever Bocuse d’Or national final. Three renowned chefs competed for the national title, with Gabrielius Zajec emerging as the winner, further solidifying Lithuania’s status in the fine dining arena.

In a strong statement on Lithuania’s culinary growth, Lukas Savickas, Minister of Economy and Innovation, stated:

“This is a strong example of how consistent effort, investment in quality, and creativity can translate into real economic results.”

His comments highlight the restaurant sector’s resilience and the opportunities it presents for gastronomic tourism.

Excitingly, four Vilnius restaurants have retained their prestigious MICHELIN stars: Demo, Džiaugsmas, Pas mus, and Nineteen18. The Bib Gourmand list has doubled since the previous guide, adding Augustin, B’ARN Bistro, El Gato Negro, and Kristoforas to the ranks of exceptional dining venues. Additionally, two new restaurants, MOTÍF in Vilnius and Alba Bistro in Klaipėda, are now recognized in the MICHELIN recommendations.

As gastronomic tourism surges, Lithuania presents a compelling mix of fine dining and rich cultural experiences. Visitors can explore the stunning architecture of Vilnius, from the neoclassical Vilnius Cathedral to the Gothic St. Anne’s Church, all while indulging in the country’s culinary delights.
