A Baltic Royal Celebration in Bucharest – Lithuanian Statehood Day


On July 6, we celebrate Lithuanian Statehood Day, marking the coronation of Mindaugas, Lithuania’s first and only king. In 1253, he unified the Baltic tribes and quite literally put Lithuania on the map.

To honor this day, rich in historical meaning and national pride, we invite you to a special Lithuanian culinary evening, filled with authentic food, traditional drinks, and a festive atmosphere.


An Authentic Lithuanian Menu:

  • Užkandžiai – traditional snacks with black bread, herring, garlic, and cheese

  • Kibinas with chicken and mushrooms – a hearty pastry inspired by Karaim cuisine

  • Šaltibarščiai – cold beetroot soup with yogurt and herbs

  • Cepelinai – potato dumplings with meat, the nation’s favorite dish

  • Šakotis – the iconic tree-shaped layered cake

  • Fruit jelly & Sūrelis – sweet treats made with fresh cheese


Drinks from the North:

  • Gira (kvass) – fermented drink with black bread flavor

  • Lithuanian Vodka – pure, bold, and crisp

  • Dainava – berry-based liqueur

  • Alita Classic Brut – a sparkling wine worth a royal toast

  • Suktinis – traditional honey and spice liqueur


Who Was Mindaugas?

A unifier, diplomat, and (for a time) a devout Christian, Mindaugas was crowned in 1253 with the Pope’s blessing, transforming Lithuania from a group of tribes into a recognized European state. Today, he stands as a powerful symbol of independence, national identity, and Baltic resilience.


Expect a joyful evening of food, music, and plenty of toasts in Lithuanian!

Nesvarbu, kad nesi lietuvis – everyone is welcome!

Book your seat now and come discover why Lithuanians take pride in their king, their cuisine, and their traditions.
Spoiler: you’ll love it too.
