If you love delicious food and unique experiences, believe us – the grill feast at Pakruojis Manor for just 29 euros will be a real discovery. We arrived at Pakruojis Manor’s Flower Festival and, after the event, wanted to have dinner. However, we found ourselves at a true food fiesta that absolutely amazed us. The grill feast at the Traktierius restaurant is not just an “all-inclusive” dinner. It is also an atmosphere and a kind of journey back in time.
Grill feast at Pakruojis Manor: we never expected such an experience
Every year, we visit Pakruojis Manor for the tulip and spring flower festival. However, this year we decided to stay overnight (we’ll share more about that separately, as it truly impressed us). After a wonderful day at the manor, with many interesting educational experiences and unexpected moments at the flower festival, we decided to dine at the Traktierius restaurant. We arrived expecting a simple dinner, but it quickly became clear – this was something else entirely. The grill feast at Pakruojis Manor is not just a dinner; it is a food celebration where, for 29 euros, you can eat as much as you want. The menu features everything from exclusive grilled dishes to authentic Lithuanian cuisine. However, delicious food is only part of the evening – here you’ll enjoy a unique experience that is truly worth your attention.
We’ll share our impressions: what we tasted, how much everything cost, whether it’s worth going, and who will enjoy this experience most.
Unique “all-Inclusive” dinner
Many people might think that the grill feast at the Traktierius restaurant in Pakruojis Manor is just a simple dinner. However, that’s definitely not the case. Dinner starts at 18:00 and continues until 21:00. There is a buffet, and all the food served is included in a single price. On the table, you’ll find creatively prepared meat dishes (steaks, chicken, pork knuckle, ears, and cutlets), fresh, roasted, as well as handmade pickled and marinated vegetables. There are also appetizers, soup, and traditional Lithuanian dishes (kugelis and vėdarai). Personally, my favorite delicacy, which you can hardly find anywhere else, was stewed hearts. You can eat all these dishes as much as you want and whenever you want.
But that’s not all – throughout the evening, a gong sounds, signaling that the chef has prepared special dishes. During our dinner, these were calamari tentacles, roasted cabbage, baked trout, ribs, and roulade in pork knuckle – at least these are the ones we managed to try since we arrived a bit later.
The atmosphere in the restaurant is truly special. Food is constantly brought out, there are beautiful decorations, music is playing, and the staff is very friendly.
Practical information and tips
Since we booked dinner on a Saturday afternoon, we got the last available table. There were really a lot of people, so if you want to attend, we highly recommend making a reservation in advance. Dinner lasts from 18:00 to 21:00. Arrive at 18:00 and take your time, because you’ll want to taste everything, and the chef’s specials are truly unique.
The unlimited grill dinner costs 29 euros per person. For children from 5 to 12 years old, it’s 16 euros per child. You only pay extra for drinks and desserts (but after such a dinner, you probably won’t want dessert).
Although our kids aren’t huge meat lovers, they said the dinner was “wow.” Motiejus would check out the chef’s menu after every gong and bravely tasted everything.
Tip: Arrive hungry – we couldn’t try everything because we had lunch at the Pakruojis Manor Cepelinai Courtyard.
And if you want an even more unique experience, you can book an overnight stay at Pakruojis Manor together with the grill dinner.
