Lokys Information

LOKYS is the second-generation family restaurant run by siblings. Co-owner Evaldas inherited the restaurant 20 years ago from his mother, who worked here since its opening in 1972. He currently oversees the service and usually works as a host. Sister Rita has a passion for food and wine just like her mother. Now she is a qualified sommelier and restaurant chef, boasting the diploma of prestigious Cordon Bleu Culinary School . The new chef co-operated with the historians and researched the history of Lithuanian culinary. In 2019, Rita renewed restaurant's menu and combined olden recipes with core principles of modern cuisine - natural and healthy products and modern technologies. The restaurant became the House of Forest Foods ( berries, mushrooms, nuts and game ) , featuring historical stories about Lithuanian Grand Dukes and their manors. Opened almost 50 years ago, LOKYS is the oldest family-run restaurant in Vilnius. Our family aims to preserve its traditions and historical heritage.
