A wood-fired corner near the new city centre

Fire Place is a small corner spot on Šeimyniškių gatvė, in the cluster of newer development north of the river near the city's business quarter. It has earned a devoted local following on the strength of one thing done very well: cooking in a real wood-fired oven. The standout is the shakshuka, praised by regulars as the best in town, alongside fresh-baked pitas, pizzas, egg dishes and hummus. The mood is warm and intimate, and books and games on hand make it a comfortable stop for families.

The trade-off for that charm is space. The dining area is genuinely limited, so it can get cramped and busy at peak times, ordering is done at the counter, and some visitors note prices on the higher side. If you arrive at a rush, takeout is a smart way to skip the wait and still get the wood-fired cooking.

Good to know

Fire Place opens early for breakfast on weekdays, which makes it a useful option before the rest of the city is up. Because the room is small and popular, expect a wait at busy times — and consider takeout. Treat hours and prices as a guide and confirm on the venue's own channels before a special trip.
