Grill London

What to expect

Grill London is a popular grill restaurant — part of a Lithuanian chain — built around a simple, crowd-pleasing idea: well-priced grilled food cooked properly. The kitchen uses Josper charcoal ovens, which keep the meat juicy and add a smoky char, alongside modern sous-vide and dry-aging techniques. The menu is customisable: choose your meat, side and sauce, with eleven house-made sauces and on-site marinades to pick from.

The setting is a draw in itself — the interior is designed to evoke a 19th-century London train station, and an open kitchen lets you watch your meal being prepared. It's a lively, family-friendly spot that appeals to young diners too, with an outdoor terrace offering good views over the city.

• Cooking: Josper charcoal ovens; sous-vide and dry-aging

Good to know

Grill London is a busy place, so expect queues at peak hours — its reputation for tasty food at fair prices keeps it full. Diners particularly recommend the outdoor terrace for the city views when the weather allows. As with many high-volume kitchens, a few visitors note that quality and service can be a little inconsistent when it's slammed, so timing your visit slightly off-peak can help.

The Upės g. location sits in the Verkiai / business-district area by the river rather than deep in the Old Town, which is part of what gives the upper-floor terrace its open views. For more dining options across the city, see the wider Eat & Drink guides.
