HeJi

HeJi is a contemporary restaurant at Lukiškių g. 3, near Lukiškės Square in Vilnius, Lithuania, serving a modern Asian-Baltic cuisine through a tasting-style menu. The concept blends Asian technique and flavour with Baltic produce, so dishes may combine fermented, smoked, pickled and fresh elements in an unfamiliar but harmonious way. The menu centres on seasonal tasting plates and a chef's tasting menu, which suits diners who prefer to try many small dishes rather than a single main course. Because the plates change with the season, specific dishes vary, but the style stays consistent: precise, light and layered with umami and acidity. The dining room is modern and stylish, with a moderate noise level, a relaxed service style and a smart-casual dress code. It is popular with a younger, food-curious crowd as well as visitors who want an alternative to the traditional Lithuanian taverns that dominate the Old Town. The drinks list typically includes wines, cocktails and Asian-leaning options such as sake or tea pairings, though the programme should be confirmed with the venue. Prices run about €40-80 per person depending on how many plates are ordered and whether the full tasting menu is chosen, which is mid to upper range for the city. Dinner is the main service, and visitors should check the venue page for hours. Booking is advised, particularly for Friday and Saturday nights. The Lukiškių street location is a short walk from Lukiškės Square, Gedimino Avenue and the Old Town, making it straightforward to include in a central itinerary. Guests with dietary needs should mention them when reserving. The restaurant is rated about 4.5, reflecting strong feedback on creativity and value.
