Sweet Root
Sweet Root was the first restaurant in Lithuania to have its menu dictated entirely by the local nature and weather conditions. Today, many other restaurants are now following this example such as Džiaugsmas above. As one of a select few restaurants only offering tasting menus, Sweet Root is an excellent choice if you’re looking for a vivifying gastronomic experience, especially one where you don’t have to make any decisions. Simply arrive, sit down, and the dishes will be brought to your table, each accompanied by their own intriguing stories.
Four days a week, Sweet Root invites guests to enjoy a degustation dinner consisting of seven dishes and seven amuse bouches. The menu changes according to the season - different dishes are served depending on what’s fresh at that time. Since the restaurant’s opening, not a single dish has been repeated. When asked how he finds inspiration to constantly create something new from the same range of ingredients, Chef Justinas Misius explains: “It’s a pleasant challenge for me each time to discover new product combinations and cooking techniques.” The chef uses a very limited range of seasonings and instead tries to create flavors using his own homemade oils and vinegars.
The degustation menu at Sweet Root costs EUR 75 /person. This price includes a welcome drink, mineral or sparkling water, and coffee or herbal tea at the end of the evening. The dinner takes about 3 hours.
