There are many restaurants in central Vilnius that offer weekend brunch menus, but this guide only highlights the most popular ones that have already made their name among residents of Vilnius. Be warned though: it’s always better to book in advance.

Gaspar's

Gaspar, the chef and owner of the restaurant that borrows his name, is known for a culinary style that is trailblazing in Vilnius. His brunches are no different. They mostly experiment with traditional Indian and Goan cuisines, mixing them with familiar local ingredients. Sundays at Gaspar’s are a true gastronomic feast as soon as the doors open in the morning. For example, English Breakfast is served on Indian bread with homemade spicy sausage, mushrooms, bacon, tomato confit, and asparagus. Whereas the masala omelette comes with crab meat, green asparagus and garlic sauce. Vegetarians also praise Gaspar's English Breakfast on Indian bread with homemade vegetable sausage and a nice assortment of sides. However, this internationally acclaimed local restaurant doesn’t have many tables, so it is advisable to make a reservation in advance.

Stebuklai

When this restaurant started offering breakfast, it was an instant hit. Of course, it all comes down to chef Martynas Praškevičius, who has been voted the country's best chef several times and was one of the first to start promoting brunch in Vilnius. Incidentally, the Stebuklai weekend brunch menu is a little bit more extensive than the one served on weekdays. À la carte, your choice ranges from Eggs Benedict, a hearty English Breakfast, French omelettes and Mexican eggs, to shakshuka, sandwiches with excellent homemade bread, as well as fried and boiled “varškėtukai” curd dumplings, which, by the way, are Stebuklai's bestseller at breakfag.

This dessert boutique is known for its eye-catching interior and exterior, which changes with the seasons and is visible from a distance. It’s a distinctive landmark in one of the busiest areas of the Old Town – Vokiečių Street.

Kavos Era

Kavos Era is run by a family that believes you should eat breakfast whenever you feel like it, not when the clock tells you to, which is why they serve breakfast all day every day. The first Kavos Era breakfast club opened five years ago in Vilnius’ Naujamiestis neighbourhood. Two other locations have popped up since, but only as parts of larger food halls. At Kavos Era you can actually try Guatemala Santa Elena coffee which is grown between two volcanoes at an altitude of 550 metres.
