Savioury Lithuanian Food

The majority of Lithuanian fairy-tales have a similar happy ending: eating and drinking for three days... If you wish to taste the entire Lithuanian cuisine, prepare for a lengthy stay.

The oldest traditional Lithuanian drinks are mead and herbal brandies of various types. Lithuania is also famous for its brewers. Lager or dark, non-filtered or honey beer will definitely get you talking.

A contemporary restaurant culture does exist and even thrives in Lithuania, and it’s easy to find. For every cafe or restaurant owner, quality meals and flawless service are top priorities.
