Find out what Eastern European restaurants to try in Kaunas. Kaunas (/ˈkaʊnəs/; Lithuanian: [ˈkɐʊˑnɐs] ( listen); also see other names) is the second-largest city in Lithuania and has historically been a leading centre of Lithuanian economic, academic, and cultural life. Kaunas was the biggest city and the centre of a county in Trakai Municipality of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania since 1413. In the Russian Empire, it was the capital of the Kaunas Governorate from 1843 to 1915. It served as temporary capital of Lithuania during the interwar period, while the traditional capital of Vilnius was part of Poland between 1920 and 1939. During that period Kaunas has been nicknamed the Little Paris because of rich cultural and academic life, fashion, construction of countless Art Deco, Lithuanian National Romanticism architectural style buildings as well as popular furniture, interior design of the time and widespread café culture. The city interwar architecture is regarded as one of the finest examples of the European Art Deco and received the European Heritage Label, it also resulted in naming Kaunas the first city in Central and Eastern Europe as a UNESCO City of Design. In 2022, Kaunas will be the European Capital of Culture, together with the Luxembourgish city of Esch-sur-Alzette.

We were really impressed with this little cafe/restaurant. The staff were super friendly and the menu had quite a selection of dishes. I ate the beetroot burger and they were delicious. The drinks were great too. Main courses were in the region of 4 to 5 Euros.

This restaurant caught my eye as I was passing just because it was in a garden right next to the Liberty Boulevard (which was under construction)...The service was attentive and with a smile - helpful with recommendations, everything was prepared fast and as ordered.Both the beef in my salad and the duck breast I ordered were perfectly cooked and very tasty.The fruity "sunday ice cream" I got for desert was nothing special...Prices were moderate - in all a perfect relaxing place to enjoy your lunch or dinner adn do some people watching!

Nice interior, very tasty cuisine (I recommend cepelinai or dizkukuliaus in lithuanian), choice of local beers and friendly service. Moderate rates. For two main dishes and two drinks around 20 eur.

Do not order salads! Otherwise other thing looked good but salads were real disappointments. Avocado was raw and dressing was bland.

Food great value for money despite the location, and very tasty. Easy to show local value for money Staff try their best but when busy there can be quite a wait on service and food. Perhaps more staff needed on high season. Good chance to try local food.

,,Medziotojų uzeiga", the oldest restaurant in Kaunas, is situated in the very heart of Kaunas - Town Hall square. The guests of the restaurant are treated with exceptional game meat dishes since 1965. The main goal of the restaurant is to use only fresh

Superbly prepared game dishes. Pretty good wine list. Lovely venue with a pleasant summer terrace out front on the main square.Service is friendly, but unbelievably SLOWWW. I'll say it again; the service is non-anticipatory and unresponsive. I had to get up from my seat on a few occasions to ask for service.Do come for the food, but don't expect much from the servers.
