Restaurant in Vilnius, Lithuania
Michelin-recognised, easy to book, worth it.
Fabrikėlis holds consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a Star Wine List White Star, making it the clearest combination of kitchen quality and wine credibility at the €€€ level in Vilnius. With a 4.6 Google rating across 311 reviews and easy booking availability, it delivers consistent modern cuisine without requiring a fight for a table.
That combination of critical recognition and sustained public approval is rarer than it sounds in a city where restaurant quality has shifted considerably in recent years. Fabrikėlis, at Pasakų g. 9, holds two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) and a White Star from Star Wine List, signals that the kitchen and wine offering are both operating at a level worth seeking out. If you're spending €€€ per head in Vilnius and want confidence your money is going somewhere with consistent standards, this is the clearest current option in its category.
Fabrikėlis sits in the modern cuisine tier of Vilnius dining — the category that has expanded most rapidly in Lithuania's capital as local chefs have pushed toward contemporary European technique while drawing on Baltic and regional ingredients. The consecutive Michelin Plate awards confirm the kitchen is producing food at a standard the guide considers worth noting, even without a star. For context, the Michelin Plate is awarded to restaurants serving food of good quality , it is not a consolation prize, but a meaningful floor on what you can expect. Two consecutive plates suggest consistency rather than a single strong year.
The Star Wine List White Star recognition, published in August 2024, adds another layer of confidence: the wine program here is taken seriously. For a food-and-wine enthusiast, that double credential , culinary and cellar , makes Fabrikėlis a more complete evening than many of its Vilnius peers at the same price point. If wine matters to your decision as much as the food, this is one of the few Vilnius restaurants where both have been independently vetted by named publications.
The editorial angle worth thinking through before you book is whether lunch or dinner serves you better here. In modern cuisine restaurants at the €€€ level, the lunch format , where one exists , typically offers the same kitchen at reduced cost, making it the sharper value proposition for explorers who want to assess a room before committing to a full evening. Dinner, by contrast, is where a wine-focused program like Fabrikėlis's White Star-recognised cellar makes most sense: you have time to work through a proper selection rather than treat wine as an incidental.
Practical caveat: specific lunch hours and menu formats are not confirmed in the available data for Fabrikėlis. Before booking, verify directly whether a lunch service runs and how it's priced relative to dinner. If it does, it represents the lower-risk way to try the kitchen at this level. If you're committing to dinner , which is the more likely format for a Michelin Plate restaurant in this category , budget for the full €€€ experience and treat the wine list as part of the proposition rather than an add-on. Given the White Star recognition, shortchanging the wine order here would be leaving part of what you paid for on the table.
Dual Michelin Plate across two consecutive years (2024 and 2025) is the most telling recent signal. In restaurant terms, a second consecutive recognition matters more than the first: it rules out a fluke year and confirms the kitchen hasn't slipped since the original assessment. For a venue in Vilnius , a city that only entered the Michelin Guide relatively recently , maintaining that standard across two cycles in a competitive local market is a meaningful credential. The Star Wine List White Star in August 2024 arriving in the same window reinforces that this is a venue in an active, confident period rather than one coasting on earlier momentum.
Booking difficulty is rated Easy, which is useful to know at the €€€ level , you are not fighting a waitlist to get in. That said, easy availability doesn't mean walk-in reliable: for a Michelin Plate restaurant of this calibre, booking ahead remains the sensible approach, particularly for dinner on weekends or if you're visiting during peak Vilnius travel periods (summer and the Christmas market season are the two windows when the city's better restaurants fill faster). A reservation a few days in advance should be sufficient given the current booking difficulty rating.
The address is Pasakų g. 9, Vilnius 10103. No phone or website data is available in the current record, so the most reliable booking route is to search the restaurant name directly to find their current reservation platform. Dress code information is not confirmed , at the €€€ Michelin Plate level in Vilnius, smart casual is a reasonable default unless the venue specifies otherwise.
