Lithuania Joins The Michelin Guide: A Culinary Adventure Begins -
Exciting news alert! Lithuania is now officially a part of The MICHELIN Guide family, joining its Baltic neighbors Estonia and Latvia in the gourmet spotlight. Can we get a round of applause for this culinary milestone?
The Michelin Inspectors have been on a delicious adventure across Lithuania, hunting down the crème de la crème of dining experiences. From the charming port city of Klaipėda, where historic wood-framed buildings line the streets, to the picturesque town of Trakai, home to the breathtaking Trakai Island Castle on Lake Galvė, they've left no stone unturned in their quest for culinary excellence.
And let's not forget Kaunas, with its medieval fortress and impressive Modernist architecture (UNESCO-approved, no less!), and the enchanting capital city of Vilnius, where Gothic, Renaissance, Classical, and Baroque styles collide in a stunning architectural medley.
Throughout their journey, these Inspectors have savoured a delightful array of dishes, from traditional Lithuanian fare to dishes with French, Italian, and Indian influences. Whether it's a simple yet mouthwatering bagel from the market or an elaborate tasting menu showcasing the finest local ingredients, they've been wowed at every turn.
Now, mark your calendars for June 13th, 2024, because that's when there will be an unveiling the very first Lithuanian restaurant selection of The MICHELIN Guide at a special event in Vilnius. It's going to be a gastronomic celebration like no other!
