The ambience is meant to be medieval Lithuanian, and it pulls it off relatively well with a very gamey menu. I had the mushroom salad presented in a lettuce leaf, and shared the beaver meat stew and veal and boar plate with two others. The portions are generous, and the food is quite tasty, albeit a bit salty to my liking. Also enjoyed the gooseberry wine, which is like a sweet dessert wine. Service was good but got a bit slow towards the late evening. Total price for the meal and drink was about €26.
Disappointment. I have ordered traditional Lithuanian beverage 'gira' and my husband with his parents ordered beers. Waitress forgot to bring 'gira' for me but put on the final bill. My parents in law have asked to re-fill bread basket and waitress forgot to do it, so we asked for this three times and it was re-filled eventually. My Dad in law asked for steak not to have any vegetables aside or sauce in English and I have translated this to Lithuanian as well to make it very clear. His steak was brought with vegetables and with sauce. Portions are on the smaller side but food is tasty. With the bill they brought four shots which I had to ask what substance it was:"is it liqueur here" waitress said "yes" My husband later asked what is it in the shots and waitress rudely said "as I said it is Lithuanian bitter" what an answer?! I WOULD NOT RETURN HERE NEITHER WOULD RECOMMEND this restaurant and its service.
Lokys is a great place for trying out traditional Lithuanian food - especially as a tourist. Menus are available in at least English and German (the two I was offered), with everything being well described, should you not be familiar with the cuisine. The wine list is extensive and very good, as are the aperitifs and beers on offer. The service was friendly and prompt, with the courtyard area wonderfully atmospheric for dining Al fresco. And yes, they really do serve a beaver stew (tastes a lot like stewed lamb, if you are curious).
Fantastic place! We had the venison carpaccio, beef stew and salmon filet. For dessert we tried the rye bread pudding and hazelnut cake. Hazelnut cake was excellent. We also had the matching dessert wines which paired beautifully. For drinks, I’d recommend trying the locally made Lithuanian vodka - sip it neat with your delicious bread and butter. The atmosphere was fun and I loved the authentic food in a beautiful cobbled street of Vilnius.
Wow. When my colleague told me this was a great place he wasnt kidding. I had the boar and it was perfectthe entire dish. Nice wait staff and great wine. Loved the cellar area. Very cool!
Very good food but a bit pricey compared to other things in town. Apparently their purpose is to attract foodies.
Very bad experience all around. Staff was unfriendly, not helpful at all. Food was OKish if you compare to homemade meals. But not even close to restaurant quality. We was waiting for waitress to clean the broken glass from our table and floor next to it, for about 15 minutes. There was no music playing in background at all, so that was really awkward. Especially when we was there for companies xmas party Really no go and there is much much better places to get the taste of Lithuanian cuisine.
A great game restaurant. A variety in menu will satisfy almost everybody. True Lithuanian cuisine.
Very good food! Make prior booking in order to get seating downstairs. Amazing beetroot soup! Would not recommend the traditional rye bread dessert - not a fan
Really enjoyed our meal here. Some great local dishes to be sampled and the cheeses are definitely worth going for.
Nice Lithuanian restaurant.
Great decoration. It is crowed during dinner time.
After spending couple of days in Vilnius this is by far the best local restaurant.
For the meat lovers you can get here game meat and local cuisines prepared to perfection.
For the vegi options you will get a nice salad.
Service is professionally good and quick.
Typical Lithuanian food. Good service.

The food was great, however it was way too expensive for what you get.
I've been there to eat beavers meat. Which I did. Amazing food and perfect service. A must. :-)
Good kitchen, local and game, nice service, neat place, but prices are higher than shoukd be.
