Restaurant. Since 1948, the building of Kempinski Hotel Cathedral Square was used as a central telegraph. After a thorough renovation, the restaurant kept its ties to the history of Vilnius with the name of Restaurant Telegrafas and its visible defence wall, while also bringing in a new style, portraying an elegant and refined atmosphere.  It is a balance between the old and the new.

The cuisine is characterized by a combination of European cooking, veering from East to West with Mediterranean touches. Here, purity and simplicity are complemented with refinement and surprising combinations. Dishes are always made with special attention to freshness and seasonal ingredients. Restaurant Telegrafas would like to play an instrumental role in modernising traditional Lithuanian cuisine. As a result, guests can expect innovative menus influenced from specialties both local and from around the world.

  The Gala Dinner will be held at the Palace of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania.

The Royal Palace proudly stands right in the centre of Vilnius, in the Cathedral Square known as the heart of the city. Its history dates back to the country’s most majestic times, and many of the Grand Dukes of Lithuania that were once residing here. The Palace has been burned down more than once, has changed is architectural appearance, and finally was demolished – but after 200 years of nothingness the Palace was newly revived again and invites you for a visit.

While the Palace is evidently new, the complex with its historical remains is a symbol of independent Lithuania.
