    It's a great place for seafood lovers in Vilnius. Although don't expect something very different or new here. They have a wide menu of choices, service is nice and attentive. Interior could be improved a lot. I would recommend sitting outside when they have terrace on Vilnius street open in summer evenings.

    Tasty seafood, nice atmosphere. Especially loved the tuna steak. The octopus main meal was good, too (not chewy) though the octopus starter was a little salty.

    Amazing place for seafood lovers! Awesome oysters, however, I wasn’t impressed with the waiting time for the oysters as it took more than 20 min and nobody even said that there might be a long wait for that. The customer could be informed in advance before asking the waiter why is it taking so long! :) P.S. it was great to try many different type of oysters :)

    Located on a pedestrian touristic street, Selfish is a highly recommended bistro for everyone looking for seafood with a great value for money spent. Place is often busy, so make sure you do a reservation. Interior is simple, but well serves the purpose to accommodate many guests. Second room has no windows and asks for more light. Service is fast, staff are very friendly. Menu is easy to navigate. Prices are fair. Choice of drinks is not extensive, but satisfying. Only one champagne producer (M. Hostomme) in the wine list, but with a wide range to choose from. Basic Brut, blanc de blancs, zero dosage, millesime. Bubbles offering also includes cremants, franciacorta and ciders. All wines are very reasonably priced. Bottle of champagne Millesime 2009 BdB €59, ciders - €15. Whites and reds well match the food on the menu. I recommend choose from two sets of oysters (12pcs): Elite (€50) and standard (€33), or better order both )) We also ordered shrimps, octopus, tuna steak, fried fish balls and even Angus steak. All dishes taste great. Mains come with well thought through sides which include variety of elements. All products are fresh and masterfully cooked leaving no heavy feeling afterwards. I'm positively impressed and happy for locals in Vilnius for having such an appealing seafood venue. I understand there are two more Selfish restaurants in Kaunas and Palanga. I'm curious to check those on my next visit.

    The food was of high quality, fresh, and absolutely delicious. From the starters, I particularly enjoyed the baked whelks and baby squid, which were both worth trying. For the main course, the grilled dover sole, grilled octopus, and surf n turf were outstanding and truly made my dining experience unforgettable. While the food was exceptional, I did notice a lack of personal attention from the waiters during our visit. However, this did not detract from the overall dining experience. Additionally, there were some wines and beers that were not available that day, which was a bit disappointing. Lastly, I was hoping to order the chocolate fondant, but unfortunately, it was not available. Despite these minor setbacks, I would highly recommend Selfish for their delicious food and overall great dining experience.

  • 4/5 Ugnė D. 2 years ago on Google
    I had tuna tartare as a starter and tuna steak for main dish. Tuna tartare was very fresh, melting in my mouth, bursting with flavors. Additionally, tuna steak was cooked medium to the perfection, very soft. Grilled veggies was all you needed with thus steak. Recommended! My family had fish soup, octopus starter and they were very tasty and left them happy. Only thing that could be thought to change is the how service take empty glass from the table in a second one finishes the drink- we ordered bottle of apple cider and 4 glasses - waitress poured it and when bottle was empty (5min since poured it all out) she asked if we want other bottle.

    My recent dining experience at the Selfish Bistro left me thoroughly impressed. The quality of the food was exceptional, showcasing a delightful blend of flavors and textures that made the meal memorable. We indulged in the octopus meatballs, a savory delight combining seafood, melted cheese, and the tuna and salmon balls with a superbly paired puree—an exquisite choice indeed. Additionally, the oysters were notably fresh, a testament to the restaurant's commitment to quality. The prices were reasonable across the menu, providing good value for the high-quality dishes served. The ambiance was inviting, contributing to a pleasant dining atmosphere, and the service was impressively quick and attentive. However, my only qualm was an unexpected charge of 0.50€ for a slice of lemon I requested for my cola. While it was a minor issue, especially in a restaurant where one typically spends between 50-70€ per person, it did slightly mar an otherwise excellent experience. In conclusion, despite the minor pricing concern, the seafood bistro delivered a gastronomic delight with its delectable dishes, inviting ambiance, and efficient service, making it a worthwhile dining destination for seafood enthusiasts. P.S: Don’t forget to try the creme brûlée.

    The food was delicious. I tried all these different entrees and I wasn't disappointed. Their natural oysters were from different countries. I had three from Ireland, Portugal and France and my favourite was the one from Portugal. Everything was so appetizing and fresh. Great atmosphere and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. Even their desserts and coffee was amazing. I recommend this place.

    As a mussels fan visited this place in Vilnius and was a bit disappointed. The service and waitress was very attentive, but has spoken some bad things about the owners when answering our reclamation. It not really appropriate and lacks style. The problem with a paper towel found in the mussels was solved elegantly with an excuse and free desert. No complaints about that. Wine list is good, but there are other wines or other vintages which is not written. We got another vintage without even informing us. Mussels are nicely presented but prepared on the same base and the additional sauce is added on them according to the order. It is a shame because the additional cream sauce in our case was added slightly warm and landed partly on the shell only. The pot was not hot and the dish got cold in 10 minutes. After last months mussel tastings in Brussels and Bretagne this was a disappointment.

    Great service, the waiters are pleasant and attentive to detail. The food itself is really nice, although a bit on a pricey side but you wouldn't have to expect anything different for a good piece of fish in the Old Town. Regarding drinks, they pretty much don't have anything non-alcoholic that isn't beer but the waitress was kind to offer me unlimited water which is a rarity in Lithuania.

    Vibrant place and quite busy on the weekends. Although the food seemed fresh & well presented, some dishes disappointed. The taste/quality of food does not correspond to the price. If we compare with pretty good french or Italian/other modern kitchen restaurant in Europe I would say it is okay but average. Food evaluation: Tuna tartar - 7 out of 10. Octopus croquettes - 0 🤢 Tuna steak - 8 out of 10 Oysters - 7 out of 10 (my one had plenty of shell pieces in it). Conclusion: not the worst but not the best food; starters are overpriced especially oysters. Some famous restaurants in central London doesn’t charge €6 per oyster and leave pieces of a shell in it 😵‍💫

    One of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to. I ordered two appetizers as my dinner: the first is the assorted seafood appetizer and the second one is baby squid. As a seafood lover, these two appetizers made my day! The prizes of the food themselves are affordable too. Admittedly, wine is a bit pricy. Otherwise, this is one of the best restaurants I’ve ever been to considering the restaurant interior, food quality, and pricing. If you love seafood, this is a MUST go-to restaurant for your visit in Vilnius.

    Nice restaurant with very good seafood. All tasted dishes were well prepared. Service was also great. The only disadvantage that prices in this place are pretty high.

    Great place to enjoy seafood - they have different seasonal specialties. Oysters were just perfect! Atmosphere and service on the highest level. Loved our night out dinner!

    We celebrated our Anniversary dinner date at Selfish Bistro Vilnius, I must say it was a pleasant experience, we were welcomed by a young gentleman who goes by the name Kipras,he was friendly and professional. 😀 The food was awesome, compliments to the chef's who made the delicious dishes. Overall the whole experience was 10/10,I recommend the restaurant to everyone who is a seafood lover.

    One of the best lobsters and soups. Waitress are very polite and nice.

  • 5/5 Tero Luikku (. 2 years ago on Google
    The best seafood I have ever had. I never knew squid could be this tender, chowders had every single meat cooked to perfection. Fastest prep for our order we've had in Vilnius.

  • 5/5 Jacob A. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely fantastic octopus dish. The whelks and mussels were also very good if a bit pricey

  • 5/5 Christian H. 1 year ago on Google
    I came for the octopus, and it was worth it! It was well cooked, full of flavour and a reasonable price. The service was mostly good, although they were mean with the table water and didn’t come by once I ordered. I must admit that I struggled to find anything else on the menu which I wanted, so check the menu before you come (assuming you don’t want oysters or octopus). I h

  • 5/5 Kotryna Z. 2 years ago on Google
    Very knowledgeable staff and looks after you surely well, great wine menu compared to other places around the city, the only downfall is that mussels only come in 1kg portions (which half of it would do after having your starters) but other than that can't really fault. Delicious oysters, buzzing atmosphere ♥️

    Relatively knowledgeable staff. I find it Nice for lunch by the window, even on a rainy day. A bit on the expensive side but would go back. If you want to sit by the window better reserve in advance.

  • 5/5 Julianna M. 1 year ago on Google
    Good place. Have been there 6 times as I try to visit Selfish every time I’m in Vilnius. Always good experience. Food is great, service is great, can accommodate allergy requirements, also they respond to emails unlike many places in this country :)))

  • 5/5 Daniel C. 8 months ago on Google
    An overall great dining experience. Food was very good. Service was slightly slow however was worth the wait. Highly recommend the tuna and baby squid

  • 4/5 Alois H. 9 months ago on Google
    Decent seafood with a good selection of dishes. Tasty and good for everyday dining, but pricey for Vilnius. Tried a variety of Appetizers and main courses, can definitely recommend!

  • 4/5 Jaunius M. 9 months ago on Google
    Ammmm. A bit dissapointment. Octopus was overcooked: very chewy. Croquettes were 90% of potatoes and tasteless. Snails were good. Lamb chops - 11/10. Amazing. For the staff: please don’t stare at customers while they are eating, it feels like you want to grab food from our mouths :D give some privacy. Staff wasn’t rude at all, but… too much staff. In general 3.9/5.

  • 5/5 Tadas B. 8 months ago on Google
    The food was excellent. We took three different items, and every one of us enjoyed his meal. Small downside, some tables are too close to other people. Not very "intimate".

  • 5/5 Лилия �. 6 months ago on Google • 15 reviews
    Absolutely awesome! Food was so tasty (fantastic tender tuna tartar), great waiter (she laughed at our jokes), romantic music – everything you need for date or dinner! One minus: a lot of people talk at the same time, so bit loudly inside.

  • 5/5 Gintarė O. 4 years ago on Google
    Super delicious food. Nice atmosphere and the venue is great. Service is a bit lacking, the waitress firstly mixed our order, then brought wrong food but quickly fixed the misunderstanding. Still a classy place with great food, definitely will be coming back.

    Really decent meal. Oysters were fresh and delicious. Watch out for the bill as it stated "service not included" but it had been at 10%. Minor point. Was a superb meal, definitely one to recommend 😁

  • 5/5 Danil G. 3 years ago on Google
    We wanted to come to this venue for a while, but never had a chance. Finally, today we had a dinner there. Lovely restaurant with delicious dishes. Highly recommend trying their octopus and their “tasting” platter with scallops, prawns, tuna tartare and salmon tartare. Will definitely come back.

  • 4/5 Dominykas M. 4 years ago on Google
    Definitely had a good time with the family. The appetizers were great. Especially loved the tuna tataki. I found that the mussles were good yet definitely not the best in the city. I think a bit too little of the sauce. Other then that - great service. Here are few photos of the dishes we had.

  • 5/5 Laurynas M. 2 years ago on Google
    Food was simly amazing. Service - very kind and fast. Most tables were full, so one would expect to have longer waiting time. But we experienced opposite - several waiters were coming up and serving with a good manner and speed. Next time we are in Vilnius street, it will be very difficult to choose another place. Even if we will want a change :) Special regards to cook Tadas!

    By far one of the freshest oysters and mussels I had. We went there the first time, and they sold out the mussels. The manager promised us to order more the next day specially for us!

😐 The staff was not friendly and seemed very unprofessional. I had to wait for at least 20 minutes before I placed my order, and the restaurant was not busy at all. Had to draw attention to myself to finally place an order. The food was mediocre, not worth the money. It was not served as described...
