Where to eat
Local favourites
Senasis Sodzius
Budget canteen for trad Lithuanian food, you pay cash upfront. They only speak Lithuanian so some pointing and grunting is needed to order.
Arkos
Decent filling food, service spasmodic.
Kapitonas Morganas
They've given up the pirate decor so it doesn't much resemble the rum advert, but it's one of the better spots in town centre.
Juone Pastuoge
Tavern with live music and trad Lithuanian food, fun atmosphere, occasional malfunctions of cooking and service.
Brodvėjaus Pica
It's pronounced "Broadway Pizza" and has a wide selection, but slow service lets it down.
