LOKYS is the second-generation family restaurant in Vilnius run by siblings. Co-owner Evaldas inherited the restaurant 20 years ago from his mother, who worked here all her life. He currently oversees the service and usually works as a host. Sister Rita has a passion for food and wine just like her mother. Now she is a qualified sommelier and restaurant chef, boasting the diploma of prestigious\u00a0Cordon Bleu Culinary School<\/a><\/span>.<\/i><\/span><\/p>

Our chef Rita co-operated with the historians and researched the history of Lithuanian culinary to reclaim local gastronomy heritage. For curious readers we recommend\u00a0BBC Travel article<\/a>\u00a0on Lithuanian cuisine and its forgotten tastes.<\/p>

In 2018, Rita renewed restaurant\u2019s\u00a0menu<\/a>\u00a0and combined olden recipes with core principles of modern cuisine \u2013 natural and healthy products and modern technologies. So the restaurant became the House of Forest Foods\u00a0(<\/span>berries, mushrooms, nuts and game)<\/span>, featuring historical stories about Lithuanian Grand Dukes and their manors.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
