Lithuania Joins The Michelin Guide: A Culinary Adventure Begins
Lithuania Joins The Michelin Guide: A Culinary Adventure Begins -
Urgent, very interesting information! Lithuania has formally become the part of the MICHELIN Guide family, alongside its Baltic neighbours Estonia and Latvia. Can we clap our hands for this achievement in cooking?
Across Lithuania the Michelin Inspectors have taken a tasty tour to find out what’s best of the best in dining. They’ve been everywhere from Klaipėda – a pretty port city with historic timber-framed buildings lining its streets – to Trakai, home to the fairy-tale-like Trakai Island Castle on Lake Galvė.
And then there’s Kaunas, with its medieval fortress and impressive Modernist architecture (UNESCO-approved), and Vilnius – a beautiful capital where Gothic, Renaissance, Classical and Baroque ply their architectural trade side by side.
All that time they were tasting dishes: traditional Lithuanian food one moment; French-, Italian- or Indian-inspired dishes another — such as simple but delicious bagels from the market or an elaborate tasting menu made using only local ingredients.
Now save the date: June 13th 2024. On that day the first ever Lithuanian restaurant selection of The MICHELIN Guide will be unveiled at an event in Vilnius. It’s going to be quite some gastronomic celebration!
Lithuania Joins The Michelin Guide
Gwendal Poullennec, International Director, couldn’t be prouder: “With the launch of the Lithuania guide we are completing The MICHELIN Guide selection for Baltic Countries. This will help us to highlight Lithuania's unique culinary scene and talented chefs behind it. Be ready for surprises!”
But that’s not all! The Ministry of Economy and Innovation is fully endorsing this gastronomic adventure as it recognises that Lithuania appeals globally not only because of its history or landscapes but also due to authentic culinary experiences. Minister Aušrinė Armonaitė invites you to uncover Lithuania's rich cultural tapestry where every bite is a blend of tradition and innovation.
