Review: Back in November 2014 my friends and I had the opportunity to spend a long weekend in Rīga. We’ve heard of Ze Donats before from other friends but we wanted to experience it by ourselves. The first sensation when you get inside is of a sweet smell (not to sweet, the nice sweet) and such a great atmosphere accompanied with newly roasted coffee. There are plenty of board games that you can ask too, and the music is not too loud, which makes of it a perfect place to relax, have fun with friends, read and/or study plus enjoy amazing Donuts. They are quite tasty and they have an amazing variety. They are in the Top 3 donuts I’ve tried in my life (and trust me here, I’m a donut-holic). I would totally recommend you to go there if you are into sweet things and would like to have a break or are looking for a refuge to spend few hours away from the cold winter in Latvia.

Fateuser Eats: Galeria Urbana (Kaunas, Lithuania)

19 de abril de 2015 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

I remember the first time I went to this place a social dance party was going on. Salsa, bachata and that sort of things. Since I’m a not-so-good (or better said, I have my own style) dancer, I just sat down and enjoyed a glass of red wine while checked the decoration and the dim light that was making of it a very unique and mystique place.

Formerly known as La Bodega del Toro, Galeria Urbana is a mixture of restaurant, art gallery, social club & good vibes place. The food price is of average but the taste of it gets a higher-than-average grading. Located in the very main street of Kaunas’ old town, it offers a good place to both enjoy a quite sophisticated meal or a very artsy drink. Or both. Or none. It’s all up to you.

One of the coolest things is that in summer and until mid-autumn they open a terrace to the bustling Vilnius street in Kaunas. Terraces are good for socialising. Very good in fact.

I’m going there quite often, and I would totally recommend you to check their facebook page and if you happen to be in Kaunas, go try their mediterranean inspired menu!

Fateuser Eats: Buddha (Riga, Latvia)

30 de enero de 2015 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

That was my first time in a vegetarian restaurant. Or at least the fist time I remember. Not that I’m always drunk when I go to restaurants or something like this, it’s just that I wasn’t aware of being in a vegstaurant (hehe, so funny how I make new words) before.

Anyways, this one was a great one. Very posh. Very tasty. I remember being there with my backpacker uniform (a.k.a. jeans, sweaty t-shirt after being the whole day walking, boots and a sweater) while everyone else was quite dressed up. It felt a bit awkward. But hey, not having the appropriate etiquette has never stopped me before. The place is located in the not very centre of Rīga, so you will have to walk for a while, but it’s totally worth it.

Depending on your budget, this might not be the place you want to go. It’s more expensive than the average, but the plates were very delicious. And I’m a carnivorous. Like, I truly love meat. But I didn’t miss it at all.

Overall I enjoyed it. Don’t really think I’d go back there (too expensive for student-like-budget) but if you are into this type of food and this type of place, you should give it a try!

Fateuser Eats: Vilhelm’s Pancakes (Riga, Latvia)

23 de enero de 2015 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

Not so long time ago, when I was visiting Rīga (Latvia) with my friends, we were told to go to this very cozy pancake place, that has been working for a long long time. So we did. The place itself is a very chill and quite one. Located in the heart of Rīga, provides you the perfect refuge for the cold and rainy days. The pancakes were very tasty and cheap. You can get one starting from 0.60 €. The only thing I didn’t like very much is that they were already done when we got there. We were expecting something freshly cooked, not some prêt-à-manger crepe.

Probably we could have asked them to do one for us, but since we didn’t speak Latvian the communication between us was quite complicated.

Will definitely go back there this time accompanied by a local.

Fateuser Eats: Mint Vinetu (Vilnius, Lithuania)

16 de enero de 2015 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

This is technically not a Fateuser Eats. Mint Vinetu (Vilnius, Lithuania) is a Book Store & Tea Place. I was there in September 2014, the same day I ate in Drama Burger. First of all, I would like to say that the Chai Tea that I had was quite tasty, so it was the coffee that my friend @faufainis had. The place itself is amazing. Very quiet, full of books and a couple of dogs (I wonder if they will still be around) welcoming the new and old customers. It is definitely a recommended chill and relax place. It reminded me (in a way) of when I was in Paris in the Shakespeare and Company library. Plenty of books everywhere. Oh, and also in Mint Vinetu you can listen to a great music selection and grab the books they have there. Tea (or coffee) and books. Such a perfect combo.

Can’t wait to go back there again!

Fateuser Eats: Agave (Kaunas, Lithuania)

1 de diciembre de 2014 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

When my friends and I heard that there was a new Mexican Cuisine restaurant opening in town we decided that we should definitely go there. The restaurant is located in the old town of the city, and it has both Mexican and Tex-Mex dishes to offer. The prices are a bit higher than the average and the amount of food per serving is not too much. Maybe it’s because I got spoiled when I was in Mexico a few years ago. Or maybe it is because I like to eat a lot.

In the restaurant they have tons of different types of Tequila, so if you are into that drink, it’s the place to go to!

I don’t know if I’m going back there again, but you should give it a try!

Fateuser Eats: Moksha (Kaunas, Lithuania)

24 de noviembre de 2014 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

This is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Kaunas (if not the one I like the most). The place is very cosy and in a way quite exclusive: it has 6 tables for lunch or dinner, so if you don’t rush you won’t probably find a spot. The owner and chefs are indians, which makes of it a quite good experience of their own cuisine. The restaurant is located in the centre of the city and they offer every day a brand new daily menu with the freshest veggies and meat that you can find. Also, the fact that they have indian music on their playlist sort of teleports you 7,000 km away from Kaunas.

The prices are on the average and they offer quite a wide variety of dishes (vegans and vegetarians too) plus the menu is in english as well.

I go there very often. And if you haven’t tried it yet, you should definitely go. Who knows, one day we might see each other!

PS.: If you can’t tolerate spicy food let them know. I once left the restaurant sweating like a pig.

Fateuser Eats: Domino Bistro (Kaunas, Lithuania)

6 de octubre de 2014 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

When I entered into this place I didn’t really know what I was expecting. This is not a very popular spot and yet, they probably have the best burgers in Kaunas. Domino Bistro, located in the heart of the Old Town in Kaunas, has a very raw and minimalist style, that reminds me of the one in Drama Burger (Vilnius). But I have to say that the burger was better in Domino Bistro. The price is also cheaper. The amount of food that you get is the perfect one, not too much, not too little. Also, you don’t feel that you are eating sauce and not natural ingredients (as you would feel in some fast food restaurants). Well cooked and better presented.

I totally recommend you to go there.

Fateuser Eats: Drama Burger (Vilnius, Lithuania)

18 de septiembre de 2014 by fateuser.com Leave a comment

That was my first time ever in a place that masters the burger making technique. Drama Burger, found in the city center of Vilnius, has a very raw and minimalist style. The burgers were very tasty. You could try within a wide range of meats and types of bread and other food and veggies to put into the burger. The size wasn’t so big but enough to fulfill your belly. Or at least mine. The price is a bit higher of the average in Lithuania, and they don’t give you french fries with the burger, you have to pay for them separately. Oh, and for the sauce too. But I think it’s totally worth it. Probably it is one of the best burgers I’ve ever had. If you plan to go, ask for the home made lemonade. I will totally come back there.

Getting back to the Reviews.

fateuser eats background

Hey there peeps! How’s everything going? Here’s a fast update to tell you that from now on!

I will be testing and visiting many new places. Or basically going to the places that I always go. And some news too. I hope.

The main difference is that now I will bring my camera with me, take few pictures of the places and give you my most sincere opinion. Not too many words. Many pictures and less text. Precise. Concrete. Straight. Without protection.

To tell the truth, I always like going to new restaurants, new barber shops, new shops, new cafés and of course trying the places that have always been there but never been in.

So this is how the posts are going to be organized:

Fateuser Eats: the old and classy restaurant (or café) review.
Fateuser Tries: the old and classy product (or shop or anything that is not a restaurant/café) review.

All the posts will contain few pictures (if not specified, taken by me). If you would like to use any of the pictures you are free to use them as long as you link me back with the picture.

Also, all the posts will be rated from 1-10 in «fates» (✌). The higher the number is the better.

DISCLAIMER: I am not an expert in cuisine nor cafés nor products. All the opinions are my own and may be wrong or right. Use my reviews with caution.

It would be cool that if you guys have been in any of the places that I write about and have a different opinion or something to add you would do it in the comment section, so all of us would have a better idea of the thing.
