Ertlio Namas
About
Ertlio Namas is a unique historic family restaurant tucked away in Vilnius’ old town. It brings Lithuania’s medieval and Renaissance cuisine to the contemporary table, honoring centuries of noble kitchens while infusing modern culinary techniques. The menu is seasonally driven, drawing on local produce, river fish, and harvest herbs to recreate dishes that once graced the estates of the Radvilos and other historic aristocrats. Guests linger in intimate, wine‑bar‑style rooms—Rektorių sala, Etmonų sala, Kafenohaūzo sala—where the architecture and warm lighting set the scene for an immersive tasting journey. A flagship offering is the multi‑course tasting menu: 7‑dish and 9‑dish options, priced from €60 to €70 per person, paired with hand‑selected local wines that echo the region’s viticultural heritage. The restaurant also hosts seasonal and celebratory menus, including Christmas dinner and New Year’s Eve feasts, each featuring special wine pairings and premium vintages. With a professional but approachable staff, guests can request special dietary accommodations or optional add‑ons such as extra wine or a themed menu. Suitable for families, history enthusiasts, foodies, wine lovers, and creative diners, the venue invites visitors to experience Lithuanian culinary traditions in a setting that reflects the city’s vibrant past and lively present. A 60‑minute visit is recommended to fully savor the courses and the historical ambience.
