Savoring the Flavors of Kaunas: A Culinary Journey Through Lithuania's Heart

Kaunas differs from typical Baltic cities normally associated with the Baltic coast. Founded in the 14 century and located on the banks of the beautiful Nemunas River, this city captivates with its medieval fortresses and unique culinary heritage. Let’s explore its Baltic authenticity with Eatagram.

Kaunas is the second largest city of Lithuania and a significant gastrocultural hub of the whole Baltic region.

So, as we’re in Kaunas, it’s time to explore its historical streets and drop in at one of its numerous cozy restaurants and coffee shops. Traditional Lithuanian mushroom soup žiūklelinė and potato dumplings stuffed with meat and called cepelinai are the best specialties to introduce you to the local cuisine.

As the city is quite close to the Baltic coast, Kaunas is a real paradise for seafood enthusiasts who can luxuriate in a variety of delicious seafood based dishes. Be it grilled, roasted, smoked or marinated fish, it tastes absolutely divine!

If you’re a street food fan, feel at home! The streets of Kaunas are dotted with street food stalls offering a rich palette of the city's go-to snacks. Be sure to taste crispy potato pancakes called bulviniai blynai and the unique grilled cake šakotis. Yes, a grilled cake — now you’ve seen it all!

Kaunas is home to a distinctive cafe culture. So, if you’re a coffee addict, relax and treat yourself to a cup of artisan coffee paired with a local dessert. Go with freshly baked flaky Šimtalapis or honey soaked medaus tortas.
