Family-run restaurant in a 16th-century cellar telling the stories of Lithuanian cuisine with game, forest produce, and mead.

Snapshot
Opened in 1972, Lokys sends guests down candlelit steps into vaulted brick rooms where historic recipes meet modern technique—think beaver stew, venison tartare, nettle wine, and rye-bread desserts.
Pedestrian lane access only—plan to arrive on foot or via ride-hail drop at the street entrance.
Why we like it
- Dining rooms tucked into 16th-century vaults—ideal for a story-rich evening out.
- Menu spotlights Lithuanian forest flavours: venison, boar, beaver, berries, rye, and nettles.
- Knowledgeable team pours local wines, meads, and house infusions that match the dishes.
Plan ahead
- Open daily 12:00–00:00; dinner slots in the cellar fill fast—reserve ahead, especially weekends.
- Book online or call +370 661 30703; note diet needs when reserving (vegetarian options are limited but marked).
- Cellar rooms involve narrow stairs and low ceilings; request street-level seating if mobility is a concern.
