Hats off to the insanely high video production 🤝🏼
As a Dutchman, Vilnius is one of the few places in the world that still gives me hope for humanity. I now live in Ljubljana for exactly the same reasons, but as soon as this city turns into western european trash I'm packing my bags and moving to Vilnius ✌
Brazilian fan here. This video coudn't come on a better time. Just purchased plane tickets for an Eurotrip in a couple of months and one of the cities that im going is Vilnius. Thank you!
I have met a Brazilian guy in barber shop living in Lithuania with his family. It was huge surprise for me how international Vilnius became in 20 years.
I'm from the US, but I am currently working remote in Vilnius. I am blown away by this city. I came here with no real expectations, and now I wish I could live here until the leaves start falling from the trees. It is beautiful !!!
My father a Persian married his wife who’s Lithuanian.. (Chicago). So our family meals incorporate both worlds plus American. Kugelis and summer soup (pink borscht) are our favorite. Ironically the foods being worlds apart we share a Russian dish called salad Olivier ……found all over Eastern Europe and Middle East.
Hi from Paris , im Lithuanian and working in the restaurant and every summer i making Šaltibarščiai for my customers and Kugelis , i visit so many Michelin Restaurants all over the Europe and my most favourite are in London** and Porto** Lisbon*** , now i got new adventure to visit Lithuanian Michelin restaurants and see my old friends in my Old Town Vilnius
Wow wow wow! You did my home town such justice. Beautifully done and as a local I can only confirm the places you featured go above and beyond to ensure quality. Winters are a little bleak but these days our summer lasts nearly 5 months. Nice job and thanks for beautifully capturing Vilnius ❤
Colombian living in Vilnius here now for almost 2 years, and I love it. Not only the food is nice, but it is a chill city. It feels you're not in a rush and it's not packed and full of tourist. Not to mention how handsome and beautiful everyone is. I find lithuanians really good looking, men and women. I love living here, but missing a little bit the latino cussine, ngl.
Never thought you'd ever come to my city & I'm so happy you did! And what a great video - saw some new food spots even I haven't tried yet! For anyone reading - for sure, come visit Vilnius for a couple of days, you won't be disappointed :)
Man, I fell for Vilnius... The clean streets, the cozy squares, beautiful churches - it's the perfect city for a short break. And also, still affordable and not overrun by mass tourism.
A Persian who flew from Tokyo to visit my boyfriend in Vilnius this summer. There wasn't a food I didn't like in this very tiny capital 😍 I think this country really IS underrated
I have friends from Japan, HK who come at least once a year to have the funny pink soup and buy local "cola" , called GIRA, Džiugas cheese and dark bread. Always full luggage 😅 Have you tried Gira?
Been watching your videos pretty much from the start of this channel, as a lithuanian, i thought you would enjoy Vilnius, but didn't expect to hear so many good words about it from ya. Keep your powder dry, A!
What a great video! As Lithuanian living abroad I’m getting out of touch with my homeland and specially Vilnius, since my most visitations ends up in second biggest city Kaunas where my family is located. I do travel a lot and I could always say that Lithuanian food scene can offer such a variety for everyone’s taste that it’s hard to find in other smaller European cities. Specially comparing to Scandinavia - the excellence and price comparison in Vilnius is unbeatable ❤
Vilnius old city is amazing and the job of Lithuanian architects in Grand Duchy of Lithuania did. Even if the country has no natural resources today , just a simple tax based budget. Vilnius is top tier vibe on earth during summer with some good company.
I'm going to visit Vilnius next week👍😀What is the bred called with the cheese and garlic dip? It seems similar to the bred we had in Riga last year, which was darker but also very delicious.👍
@@willivonundzu8372 don’t worry, most of lithuanians who were born after ~1980 knows english quite well, so they’ll understand what you mean by deep fried bread with cheese, because it litteraly translates to ‘kepta duona su sūriu’. Have an amazing time in Vilnius during your trip! 💜
Loved this video and hope you do other city food videos soon. Since you mention Tokyo, I hope you revisit their as I think that city really deserves such a video
Interesting video, you did a really good job of highlighting what Vilnius has to offer. One quick clarification - there was large scale Jewish emigration from the region to North America in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Bagels were already popular in NYC and Montreal for a while before WWII. And unfortunately most of the Jewish people in Vilnius during and after WWII were either killed or deported. Saying they fled seems like a gross misstatement of history.
@@attachetravel That said, it’s my second home, the space, light and food have a special quality and you’ve captured that for all to see. So thank you. 🙏
just found you via an advert about LT, where i live. Just to let you know the link/click through wasn't working. Just don't want you to waste you cash.
Be honest, doesn’t the food in Vilnius taste a little bit bland? I would say, Vilnius has a lot to offer, and it has many beautiful places, but there’s a lack of taste when it comes to food. The restaurants and cafes look great, almost algorithmically perfect (like the ones in Pinterest), but there is no authenticity or identity. The food itself often lacks depth and character. You eat it, but it never gives you that satisfying climax; it doesn’t make you moan with delight. Most places seem designed to look appealing and serve quick, Instagrammable meals, relying heavily on sauces to create an illusion of flavor. The result is food that looks good but feels generic and uninspired. Even some of fine dining restaurants! Some serve the food that is just forgettable. Only a few restaurants in Vilnius seem to have their own unique identity and offer genuinely memorable culinary experiences.
It's made some effort in last 5 years. Still really weak on the street food scene. And it pizza game is weak. Only a few good spots. All the Asian spots are quite fake. There's a 1000 kebabs all about the same. Local cuisine is all right if you eat meat on everything
Vilnius alot of shit food places go around other cities way betttterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr food. Jonava PIco PIca A. prie iki best picas get mango chiken arba bbq no need to thx me
@@danutebartoseviciene8496 yes. I am very bad person. My goal is to have friends and because of that I was always kind and helped to everyone in need. So that makes me to be bad and it's a reason why I have no friends and I meet bad people. You are 100% right.
Not just bold but completely out of touch. The michelin restaurants in that city are so overpriced with very few exceptions while street food almost non existent 👉
As someone who lived in London, Lithuanian food scene is absolutely ass. Sure, top end 1918 might be amazing, but it's like €100 for the taster menu. The rest of the food you covered was national dishes which are nice, especially cold beetroot soup. That's my favourite and it deserves all the praise. However, at the end of the day casual, normal, every day restaurants and fast food spots are so bad. No creativity in the dishes, every spot mostly has the same pork meat chop and chips and salad which is just chopped cucumbers, tomatoes and lettuce next to each other. And fast food is mostly just kebabs. After couple weeks it all gets boring.
Well don’t call it ‘accessible to everyone’ please. If you are in a wheelchair, sadly you will be left out of visiting 80%+ of those places. None of the 3 new Vilnius Michellin star restaurants are accessible. It’s bizzare that we celebrate a city/national achievement on stars leaving a portion of our population out of it. To me - this example best illustrates the overall situation in the country

Finally - a perfect brief video of Vilnius food scene and Lithuanian traditional dishes. Thank you so much!!!
I visited Vilnius last year. Stunning place and as you say criminally underrated… thanks for the video.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed!
Visited in 2018 and I fell in love with Vilnius. I highly recommend!
It's such a mesmerising city, I absolutely love it.
I've never heard of this city, and now it's on my list for travel. How beautiful and interesting. Thank you
Make sure it's at the very top of your list, you won't regret it!
And come during summer time :D
What an incredible homage to my hometown ❤️
I'm glad you enjoyed it!
What a true perfection in this clip, more over the food you describe here is so interesting attached with history and local culture. Bravo from Italy.
As someone who grew up in NY and now live in Europe, seeing the bagels 2 mins into the video is enough reason for a visit
Haha absolutely! They're amazing.
Bagels was invented in Polish-Lithuania Commonwealth by Jewish communities.
@@ugnikalnis and they've become a staple of NY, that's where most Americans, rightly or wrongly know them from
@@Infernus25I said As a Tourist in Local Bakery/Cafeteria in Germany they started choking.... This was rude etc...
As a Lithuanian, this makes me so happy.
I'm so glad we got it right!
Labas. 😊 You've opened a couple of spots even for locals, at least for me! This episode was so great, but I'm hungry now!!! 😂👏👏👏
ha, then we have done our job!
I was actually thinking of where to visit next in Europe. Attache is one of the best travel channels out there.
Nice to see you cover my city again. Thanks! Glad you enjoyed your time here.

In Lithuania we call it BALTA MIŠRAINĖ you can google it and see if it looks the same. :D

I hope you get a chance to experience it soon!

Thank you and always welcome! :)
Fantastic video guys! Out of curiosity, have you considered doing an episode on some Christmas markets in Europe this winter?
That's a great idea. We touched on them in our Hamburg episode but it really is worthy of more content.
Thanks You for this!
Pleasure!

1000% agree.

Recently many Jewish Lithuanians who fled the country after or before WW2 are coming back. Which is nice to see! ✌️
Yessss!

man, for the price of everything you tried here, I could cover my full month's rent here in VIlnius lol
There is no cheese involved with Cepelinai. The white stuff is cream fraiche or fatty sour cream.
Amazing video as always. I hope you take a trip to Copenhagen again soon

I'm really really sorry but this deconstructed pink soup just looks wrong. I'm just a peasant who can't eat anything like that.
Ah shit, now everything will be ruined by tourists
Nope. You should learn more about how they make them. It is so different.

this is fake pink soup.that catering company should closed for mocking a Lithuanian dish.
It's made some effort in last 5 years. Still really weak on the street food scene. And it pizza game is weak. Only a few good spots. All the Asian spots are quite fake. There's a 1000 kebabs all about the same. Local cuisine is all right if you eat meat on everything
