Wonderful 100% vegan place - Edit
A cosy first fully vegan place in the heart of Vilnius. Amazing sweet potato fries and sweet potato soup! Highly recommended! If you're GF, they have a few options like chilli soup and stews.

Great place - Edit
Amazing place to eat delicious vegan food! The staff is extremely nice and the interior is all about the cruelty - free way of living. If you're looking for a place to have your lunch or dinner or just to have some snacks or dessert and a cup of tea, I would definitely recommend this place!

Super delicious food! - Edit
This is the very first vegan place in Vilnius and Lithuania but do not let only vegans to enjoy this bar! The food was even better than I could ever expect! (and prices are not high) I really love this cozy place and believe it is a must to come if you are in Vilnius! Bon appetit or 'skanaus' as we say in Lithuanian! :)

Great Vegan Burgers and Vegan Beers - Edit
Being the only all-vegan bar in Vilnius, this place is automatically love-worthy to those who eat plant-based. But not only them. Every burger-lover will find something to please the senses here. I also love their quesadilla and vegan chili. As a straight-edge (sort of) fan of Fentimans botanical drinks (which are not a common occurrence in other bars in Vilnius), I can enjoy a pub-going experience in "Gyvas baras" better than anywhere else in the city.
Read morePros: Excellent burgers , Different lunch menu every day , Lots of gluten free options
Cons: The desserts aren't very creative, Not great for very large companies, I really dislike those chairs :D

Best vegan burgers - Edit
This is the place where I tasted best vegan burgers in my life. Definitely recommend to try them out. If you are not into burgers, there is plenty of other delicious food to try - just ask the helpful staff to recommend something!

Good start. - Edit
I went here twice in the summer of 2015, so it must have been shortly after opening. First things first, I can't help but celebrate the first vegan eatery in Vilnius. Full marks on that grounds alone. Considering that it was such early days the food was great too - noticeably in need of some improvement, but well varied and enjoyable. I imagine it's only got better.
Read morePros: Location, variety, general quality
Cons: needed a bit more time to settle, into itself but I imagine that's, happened by now.

They also have other nice options such as hot sandwiches with sun dried tomatoes/mushrooms, falafels, tortilla, quesadilla, sweet potato fries, great variety of teas, etc. You can order some great sorts of beer here. Staff is very helpful and friendly. Atmosphere is awesome. Highly recommend!

Will give another try - Edit
I have eaten a lot of cakes in my life and I can usually eat all cakes as long as they are vegan, but the chocolate cake in Gyvas baras was the worst I had eaten. I don't know what the ingredients were. I liked the walnuts in it, but it had this ever so strange aftertaste. It might have been soy, but I am not sure. I should have aimed for their orange cake, maybe that would have been better.
Read moreMy second complaint is the coffee. I know it's the same in most places in Lithuania, but oh... Even if it a regular coffee, the cup is tiny, just a few sips. In a lot of other countries I got a cup at least three times as big.
The posters are nicely made, really professional, but a) I am a vegan and I do not want to see those depressing messages b)as it is marketed as a bar for vegans, I doubt a meat eater will want to look at such posters. Veganism should be promoted with a more positive message.
However, I am happy such places exist and I wish Gyvas baras all the very very best. Will give it another try when I am in Vilnius again.
Four cows, only because the place is vegan.
Pros: All vegan
Cons: Strange chocolate cake, Tiny black coffee - just a few sips, Posters don't promote veganism

Awful - Edit
Firstly, the food is awful. Then, we waited 40 minutes for the awful food to arrive. The waitress was clueless but nice, and they gave us the beer we ordered for free. Did I mention the food is awful.

Cons: Fodd is really bad, The wait for the food is way too long, A bit pricy

Could you please tell me what you ate there? The food in GYVAS baras for me is almost always awesome so I'm wondering what could have been so awful. Thanks!

Awesome place! - Edit
Even though Lithuania cannot offer more all-vegan places, but it can surely be proud of Gyvas Baras. It will feed a hungry soul with their mouth-watering tofu burger or a mushroom sandwich (to mention just a few). Pies are A MUST. Witty pictures will definitely make you smile.
Read morePros: Apt location, cosy place, delicious meals.
Cons: They might run out of cakes in the evening.

I have first visited this place while they were vegetarian and the food was GREAT! Keep visiting the place regularly ever since :) The size of the portions is enough to get full and the prices are not too high. Also the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Gyvas Baras is one of the best and tastiest vegan places I've been to :) Food is good, portions are big (most important to me) and the environment is very cozy. Also I've been told that this is the first 100% vegan cafe in Vilnius (or maybe even in Lithuania?)

Amazing! - Edit
We were traveling with ny friend and were excited to find the only vegan restaurant in town. We had trouble finding something on the menu that we didn't want to try so we ordered almost everything! The food was beautifully served and tasted like a piece of heaven. We came back the next day to order some more and we even had to order take-away before we could continue our trip! If you visit Vilnius please go here, the staff and food was lovely!
