Senoji Trobele

An authentic Lithuanian restaurant housed in a charming wooden cottage at the edge of Vilnius Old Town, offering traditional farm-to-table cuisine with live folk entertainment and artisanal hospitality.

Senoji Trobele represents the most authentic Lithuanian dining experience in Vilnius, occupying a traditional wooden cottage that bridges the historic Old Town with the New Town. After 20 years of operation, this family-run establishment has perfected the art of genuine Lithuanian hospitality in an atmosphere that feels like visiting a countryside farmhouse.

The restaurant’s two cozy living rooms feature long wooden tables and benches where guests share meals in true Lithuanian tradition, surrounded by authentic folk decorations and the warm glow of traditional lighting. Staff members wear hand-sewn period costumes crafted by village artisans, adding to the immersive cultural experience. Traditional Lithuanian folk music creates a gentle backdrop, occasionally enhanced by live entertainers who perform authentic songs.

The culinary philosophy centers on complete authenticity – everything is prepared from scratch using ingredients sourced from local farms and family connections. The owner personally ensures quality by sourcing honey from his brother and maintaining relationships with village suppliers for herbs, vegetables, and specialty items. During group visits, guests can witness the traditional preparation of zeppelins as an elderly cook demonstrates how they are made.  

Senoji Trobele excels at hosting corporate dinners, incentive groups, and cultural dining experiences where guests seek genuine Lithuanian culture alongside exceptional food. The communal seating style naturally encourages conversation and camaraderie, making it ideal for team building and memorable group experiences.
