The days when the prestigious Michelin Guide was associated only with luxurious fine dining restaurants are long gone. From bistros, cafes, and pubs to street food stalls, today inspectors boldly turn to places with various price ranges. And it’s no surprise because quality food remains at the heart of it all!

One of the awards that highlights Michelin’s diverse gastronomic perspective is the Bib Gourmand title. Experts grant this to places offering exceptional quality food at an affordable price. This Michelin Guide recognition was given to four Lithuanian restaurants, with three welcoming guests in Vilnius.

The team of 14Horses – a Michelin restaurant in Vilnius with a Bib Gourmand title.

According to the Michelin Guide, there is no set formula for a Bib Gourmand restaurant – all awarded places are unique and stand out with their distinct character in different countries around the world. However, unifying features exist. Bib Gourmand restaurants are characterized by a simpler, recognizable cooking style, and each gastronomic experience ensures satisfaction from eating not only deliciously but also at an affordable price.

So, what can you expect from Vilnius's Michelin Bib Gourmand-awarded restaurants? A review by Tablein guide reveals the concepts, menu choices, ambience, and prices at these places.
