About us ◆

Sizzling since 2021

Halės Mėsainis was born in autumn 2021 at Hales Market. Liudas Pranskevičius already ran his spicy food shop “Aštriai Aštru” here. The plan was simple: work in the shop by day, cook burgers in the evening.

Our story

The idea: a smash burger with no compromise on the two things it's made of. The meat – Highlander beef, ground and aged to our order. The bun – baked every morning right here at Hales Market. We press the meat onto the griddle, which is why our logo is an old clothes iron.

Out of the heat came “That's What She Said” – the spiciest burger in Lithuania, served only after you sign a waiver. We've taken it to Vilnius Burger Fest since 2021, and in February 2024 we held its first eating contest.

Meat pressed with an old iron on the griddle

In November 2024 we closed our doors. After the hardships of the pandemic and a VAT increase, we couldn't keep going. [?] ar minėti priežastis

In March 2025 we came back – to the same market hall. Our customers said it themselves: “The best burger in Lithuania is back.”

Today we also have a second spot – Halės Mėsainis Express, a food truck at Konarskio Flower Market. The same meat and the same bun baked at Hales Market, and you choose how many patties. Back at a market, because that's where we belong. Today we sizzle at two Vilnius markets and are getting ready to grow.

Mission

We cook the best smash burger from meat aged for us and a bun baked right here this morning. We don't make more than we can make well, so we cook until sold out. And we tell everyone what's inside and where it comes from.

Vision

We want Halės Mėsainis to become the burger other burgers in Lithuania are measured against. We started at Hales Market; our second spot is Express at Konarskio Flower Market. Next – more places built on one concept, where “Halės” stands not for an address but for origin and standard. Every one will have a heat record board, and sold out will mean we didn't cook worse just so there'd be enough for everyone.

What never changes here

A short menu. A new burger comes in only when another one goes.
The bun isn't brioche. Baked that same morning right here at Hales Market.
Highlander beef, ground and aged for us. Smashed.
We cook until sold out.
As much sauce for your fries as you like, free. We'll offer it – no need to ask.
Anyone who asks hears what's inside and where it's from.
