The city has many restaurants, cafes and bars that offer a wide variety of dishes, ranging from Lithuanian cuisine to gourmet and exotic food to suit every taste and budget.

It is highly recommended that while in Kaunas, to try the great potato dumplings – the Cepelinai (Zeppelin), the cold beetroot soup (Šaltibarščiai) and the „live“ (non-pasteurised) Lithuanian honey beer. 

Wholesome simple ingredients are the key to Lithuanian cooking. Traditionally cold winters and harsh times are reflected in the “Hunter’s” menu we see today – there aren’t many parts of an animal that don’t go into the Lithuanian pot. Meat is heartily served with staple vegetables such as potato and cabbage.
