Falstaff Restaurant & Bistro Guide Lithuania—Coming Soon

The countdown is on: On March 19, 2026, Vilnius will become the meeting point of Lithuania’s culinary elite: The spotlight turns to the chefs, restaurateurs, and hospitality visionaries shaping Lithuania’s culinary future. During the invitation-only awards ceremony, Falstaff will present the very first Falstaff Restaurant & Bistro Guide Lithuania, recognizing the country’s outstanding restaurants, bistros, and cafés.

The event marks an important milestone in Falstaff’s expanding presence across the Nordics and the Baltic region. Since the launch of Falstaff Nordics in 2025, Lithuania has gained increased international visibility within one of Europe’s most influential premium lifestyle publications for food, wine, and travel.

Lithuania has established itself as one of the region’s most dynamic culinary destinations, with a fast-evolving fine dining scene, a vibrant café and bakery culture, creative street food concepts, and a growing cocktail and wine bar landscape. The new guide reflects this development, evaluating and showcasing leading establishments through Falstaff’s independent ratings and editorial expertise.

The evening will be complemented by a specially produced publication highlighting the award winners, an all-encompassing selection of Lithuanian restaurants, a curated coffee guide, and expertly chosen culinary recommendations for visitors—offering a comprehensive portrait of the country’s dynamic gastronomic landscape.

Lithuania’s top establishments will also be featured in the upcoming Falstaff Restaurant & Bistro Guide Nordics and highlighted in Falstaff magazines and across its digital platforms, bringing the nation’s culinary talent to an international audience.

More Guides and Ongoing Coverage in 2026

Looking ahead to autumn 2026, Falstaff will expand its repertoire with new online guides, including a street food guide, a hotel guide, and a coffee and bakery guide. Throughout the year, Falstaff will provide continuous coverage of Lithuania’s evolving culinary scene on falstaff.com/nordics, highlighting key events such as the Baltic Gastro Summit, Bocuse d’Or, and Lithuania Gastronomy Week.

Tove Oskarsson Henckel, Editor-in-Chief Falstaff Nordics, emphasizes the editorial perspective behind this initiative:

“It is truly exciting to welcome Lithuania more visibly into the Nordic culinary conversation. The country has developed one of the most vibrant and fast-moving restaurant scenes in the region, combining strong local identity with creative ambition. We see enormous potential and look forward to presenting Lithuania’s dynamic gastronomy to an international audience.”

Olga Gončarova, General Manager of Lithuania Travel, comments on the partnership between Falstaff and Lithuania Travel:

“We welcome the collaboration with Falstaff Nordics as an important step in strengthening Lithuania’s international visibility. Our culinary sector has developed steadily in recent years, and this partnership provides a valuable platform to present that progress to a broader European audience.”
