VILNIUS ON A PLATE
The food scene in the Lithuanian capital has changed almost beyond recognition in the two
decades since the nation’s independence. Alongside traditional eateries serving cepelinai
(
Zeppelin-shaped potato dumplings) and cold beetroot soup, newcomers offer international
cuisine. All these restaurants – except Uzbekistanas – are located within the Old Town
COZY
WHERE TO HEAD WHEN YOU
DON’T WANT THE NIGHT TO END
This Dutch-owned bar and restaurant is
a great place to eat late at night, with a
simple but sustaining menu that includes
a knock-out burger and fries. One of the
friendliest places in town, Cozy also hosts
regular photography exhibitions, and is
home to the legendary
troika
–
a three-tier
cocktail.

SUE’S INDIAN RAJA
THE JEWEL IN THE CROWN OF
VILNIUS ETHNIC CUISINE
The décor may be a little over the top, but
the food here is seriously good, with spicy
flavours that really hit the spot. Order an
assortment of bhajis, pakoras and
chaat
(
street food-style snacks) to start, then try
the magnificent butter chicken. Prices are
modest and the service swift, and there
are impressive views over the cathedral.
Open 11am-midnight daily.
