Description

A private dinner in a local family brings you a unique opportunity to experience a feeling of being at home far away from home. You'll be served with delicious food that is healthy, nutritionally focused and seasonal. Together with you, we will enjoy a sit-down dinner with a starter, one first course, one-second course, and a delicious dessert. Our menu is inspired by our families’ Lithuanian cooking traditions, with a touch of modern cuisine.

Memorable Evening in Vilnius

The dinner was one of the highlights of our 3 days in Lithuania! The four course meal was traditional Lithuanian dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Conversation was lively and informative. Having the dinner served in their beautiful home made the evening even more special. Thanks, Ruta, for sending us the recipe for Pink Soup.

Great local dining experience with Ruta

The dinner met every expectation I had for this experience. Ruta and her husband welcomed us into her home. I met a few other guests of the dining experience. Time went by so quickly with the delicious traditional Lithuanian cuisine and good chat. A very warm experience.

What a lovely night!

What a lovely night! Our charming hostess along with her "sehr zimpotish" (very agreeable) husband gave us a three delicious dishes as well as the dessert 'honey cake'. It was an precious experience for me to spend an evening with this wonderful Lithuanian family. Good conversation in an elegant white house, not luxurious but comfortable.
