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.

The restaurant at Grand Hotel Vilnius has a royal brunch with one of the best views in the city – right onto Vilnius Cathedral Square. A rich buffet selection includes items like caviar, while dishes and drinks can also be ordered à la carte. Once you've decided to pamper yourself like this, you'd be well advised to dress up a little. After all, there's never too much joy in life!

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.

Daily Poison

Daily Poison offers brightly coloured super-foods, which are real energy bombs, from morning to evening at a good price. The breakfast menu includes a number of egg dishes, wholesome bowls made with organic products, and amazing American pancakes. There are also quite a few vegan options. The atmosphere here is completely casual and minimalist-industrial in style, but some details (including the menu) make it similar to the trendy breakfast lounges of Bali.

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.
