Mano Guru

Why it matters: running since 2004 as one of Lithuania’s first social businesses, this cheerful salad bar trains and employs people rebuilding their lives after prison or addiction, with cooks, waiters and bartenders learning the trade alongside psychologists and social workers. The food holds its own – build-your-own salads, hot daily specials and fresh juices at some of the friendliest prices on Vilniaus street. Grab a weekday lunch when the specials rotate and the local office crowd pours in. Every bill directly funds the reintegration program.
