For a chain restaurant serving food at extremely affordable prices this place can do no wrong. Excellent service, a wide choice of dishes to keep everyone happy and an entirely unpretentious atmosphere are on offer here and we recommend a visit. Our last binge involved a break from classic Russian dishes starting with the recommended Ukrainian borsch followed by a perfect steak served on a hot metal plate that ensured the food didn't go cold until the last mouthful was consumed. A very good experience indeed, no matter which of their Vilnius restaurants you choose.

Old-school tapas bar, serving a range of heavenly bites and a fabulously frothy gin sour cocktail they call The Special One. Of the eight tapas we tried in this cosy spot on a dark, wet evening, the ones featuring caramelised goat cheese, creamy tuna mousse, anchovies and duck breast were sublime. Tapas doesn't go overboard on the Iberian touches, but evenings quickly become amiable and chatty, especially around the bar.

Cats never tire of attention, and here there’s no end of it. Pouncing on a growing trend, Cat Café is popular with couples, families (but no kids aged under six) and cat lovers of every stripe, so you may have to wait for a table. The moggies are a bit retiring, most of them kipping on comfy perches atop claw-friendly climbing frames. But some will come to you once you have food on the table. The two waitresses are busier than the cats, ferrying dishes from the hatch – potato pancakes, spaghetti, sandwiches, waffles, milkshakes in mini milk bottles and coffee with a cute chocolate paw print on top. Booze is served too, if you fancy an early start to a night on the tiles. www.catcafe.lt

NERINGA was opened in 1959. The restaurant, since the very first day, was a gathering place for Vilnius bohema and intellectuals – teachers, doctors, actors. NERINGA has saved its style and spirit through many years, therefore it atracts both old visitors and modern youth. The restaurant surprises with new ideas, high quality food, good service and original classical surroundings. NERINGA was and still remains not just a restaurant, but also a remarkable part of the culture.

Take a step away from the bustle of the Old Town and head across the river to this excellent restaurant set inside an old wooden house in the leafy residential district of Žvėrynas. The pedigree of the owners is good having already created the popular Meat Lovers Pub, but in contrast this is a little more upmarket with a smart but relaxed atmosphere. There are two main reasons to jump in a taxi and pop over here, the food and the garden. You'll find the changing menu chalked up on a board from which we chose duck in onion gravy and a beautifully prepared tuna, both of which were delicious. The place to enjoy it is in the peaceful garden, one of the loveliest dining spaces in the city.

What at first appears to be a simple lunch spot for hungry office-goers just off central Gedimino Avenue is in fact also a rather special little evening restaurant with cosy interior and chef’s specials like a rich beef bourguignon in a port-wine sauce. Woks, teriyaki chicken and a range of carefully prepared pasta dishes are among the other favourites. Further surprises include a decent wine list and some delicious desserts. My favorite one.

Lithuania’s supermarket chains have come a long way in recent years when it comes to bread and pastries, but it’s still hard to find the perfect loaf. Hats off then to this Old Town oasis in the desert, which has an Italian chef behind the scenes and uses only Italian products, even the flour. Whereas the supermarkets get the recipes right but skimp on the materials (wrong flour, cheap fat, etc.), this tiny bakery knows how to create a crusty loaf. One or two dishes like lasagne and salads are also on offer and, most recently, deliciously authentic pizzas.

Inside Panorama mall a marvellous restaurant specialising in churrasco and espeto corrido cuisine, which for the uninitiated is a Brazilian buffet extravaganza wherein diners help themselves to endless portions of salad and other dishes whilst a procession of waiters do the rounds armed with large skewers loaded with grilled meat which is cut at the table and dropped onto the plate. Unquestionably one of the best restaurants in the country, there's also an accompanying set menu for the less adventurous.

Journeying to this ultra-casual burger joint at the far end of the dark side of town can seem like something out of The Hobbit. But this little abode, in the shadow of shunting diesel trains, is the only freshly painted (black) house in the area, and the non-attitude youths enjoying the amazing pimped-up juicy burgers are totally absorbed by the food. Make your customised order to the right, budge up some space on a bench, and munch. Then journey back to civilisation safely. http://www.keuleruke.lt

The scent of seafood greets you as you walk into North Sea from the busy Ogmios Miestas shopping zone north of the city centre. Lobster waiting to be grilled scurry happily around a blue-lit tank built into the wall. Sea-buckthorn-flavoured table water appears immediately and the fresh fishy dishes are rustled up efficiently, served with paprika-inflected home-baked bread. Halibut, shrimp, salmon, scallop, cod and mussels populate the menu. Pan-seared tuna steak will delight even carnivores, while ‘fish snack’ consists of pots of salmon and shrimp pates and diced raw red tuna. The chef makes fine desserts too.

Something fishy is going on in the self-proclaimed republic of Užupis. Every day, fish caught just hours ago in the Baltic Sea or the Curonian Lagoon is taken to a fishmonger’s on Užupio Street, and much of that comes up the lane to be put on display on ice in this wonderful little restaurant. In super-fresh and inventive dishes that change every day. There are no kid-friendly dishes, though, and children aged under 12 are not allowed. Oars, spears and weathervanes add to décor that fondly pays tribute to the Lithuanian and Prussian fisherfolk of old, and the restaurant owners are full of salty sea stories. http://www.sturmusvyturys.lt

Music ranges from jazz to art-rock to old fashioned rock and roll, there’s a long bar to keep everyone fed and watered, and once a month it hosts an Open Mic Day where outsiders can improvise along with other like-minded wannabe musicians. http://www.tamstaclub.lt

Virtually launching the craze for wine bars in the city when it opened 10 years ago, In Vino clearly has a genuine appreciation for wine and on warmer days and evenings there are few more pleasant spots than the courtyard seating out back. Perhaps best enjoyed on a busy Friday or Saturday night, this is one of the Old Town venues to mingle with the cream of the city’s C-list celebrities.

It has its own anthem, constitution, president, bishop, two churches, the Bernadine Cemetery – one of the oldest in the city -, seven bridges, and its own guardian called The Bronze Angel of Užupis, who was put in the centre of the district in 2002. Dating back to the 16th century, Užupis is one of Vilnius’ oldest districts and despite its current prestigious status, was formerly the city’s poorest area and home to a number of manual workers and a red light-district.

Comprised of small, mixed-media prints, drawings and paintings celebrating everyone from Jonas Mekas to Czesław Miłosz to Romain Gary, the gallery, all the work of local artists, grew from humble beginnings in 2008 and now features over 100 superb pieces.

The tallest structure in the country, the 326m Television Tower was built from reinforced concrete and steel between 1974 and 1980 to a design by Lithuanian architects. On 13 January 1991, as the disintegration of the USSR reached a frenzied pace and Moscow attempted to retake control of the Lithuanian media, Soviet tanks surrounded the tower in an assault that killed 14 unarmed civilians. The tower has since become a potent symbol. The exhibition is free, but the fast ride in the lift to visit the combined 270m restaurant and viewing station isn’t. The ticket office also sells several Television Tower souvenirs.

Although more famous for his painting, Mikalojus Konstantinas Čiurlionis (1875-1911) has quite a reputation as a composer. This is the house in which the great man lived for a short time in a small room that can be visited. The rest of the building, which during Čiurlionis’ time was both a family house and a shop, features reproductions of his paintings and a small concert space which stages musical productions: check the website to see when the next performance is. http://www.mkcnamai.lt
