The lowdown on Sigmutė
Sigmutė is one of those Vilnius addresses that locals know for celebrations rather than casual dinners. Behind a modest exterior you find lavishly decorated banquet halls that guests repeatedly call 'royal', plus a modern, fully-equipped conference hall — which is why the place has built its reputation around weddings, banquets and large-scale events. The cooking leans traditional and homemade, built on fresh, natural products, and the portions are generous enough that diners single out the value for money.
It isn't only for big occasions. Sigmutė runs as a small chain with more than one location in Vilnius (the central restaurant sits at Šermukšnių g. 4A, with a larger branch on Kalvarijų g.), and the everyday offer covers business lunches, a daytime fast-service line where you pick your own dishes, and desserts like hot cake, ice cream and milkshakes. Friday and Saturday evenings bring live music, giving an ordinary dinner a bit of occasion.
