MICHELIN Guide Recommendation

Saint Malo, a French restaurant in the heart of Vilnius, was selected for the Michelin Guide Lithuania 2026.

As its name suggests, this modern bistro deluxe brings a little bit of France to Vilnius. The large rear terrace is the place to be in warmer weather, but the interior is just as appealing with its sleek, clean-lined style, large vases, oversized wooden figurines and monochrome prints. The menu draws its influences from the north to the south, and the roll-call of Gallic classics is sure to make any Francophile happy. Seafood leads the way, with the likes of bouillabaisse and lobster, but you’ll also find galettes, entrecôte de bœuf and crêpes Suzette. The superb all-French wine list boasts over 400 bins.

As part of the MICHELIN Guide Lithuania 2026, Saint Malo’s Head Sommelier, Ignatij Semionov, received the prestigious MICHELIN Sommelier Award in recognition of his exceptional expertise, passion, and contribution to the art of wine service.
