The Review: This one might be one of my favorite restaurants here in Kaunas. I’ve probably been here about 20 times and still like it (well, it makes sense, if I didn’t like it that much I wouldn’t probably have come that often). They opened in 2010 and at the beginning I was a bit curious about how would be the spanish cuisine here in Kaunas. Well, if you expect to have the typical patatas bravas or the best paella from Valencia you shouldn’t come here. Because basically, as it happens everywhere, you can’t find the exact meals in other places outside from the original country. But, even though they aren’t 100% as the originals (I’d rather qualify them with a well earned 91%) they are delicious. The service is quite good (even though sometimes, depending if it’s full or not you have to wait a lot) and they speak english fluently (something really helpful when it’s your first time here in Kaunas). The decoration brings you to a secret (well, not that secret since they are located in the main street) spanish spot with nice music and great lighting. It’s the perfect place to chill and enjoy a great meal. If you decide to go, I would recommend you to take the big spanish sandwich and of course, don’t forget the patatas bravas with alioli.

Fateuser Eats: Le Rouge (Kaunas, Lithuania)

The Review: For a long long time I wanted to visit and taste the food of this restaurant. From outside looks so cozy and once that you get inside of it you realize that it is really sightly. Really good vibes. The place is located in the heart of Kaunas’ Old Town, really close to the greek restaurant Rhodos. The food is a truly tasty and french food. Ok, I’m not an expert in gallic food, I’ve just been about 4 times in France, but from what I remember, the piquancy of those delicacies was quite similar. We had French Salad with baguette covered with goat cheese which was flavorful and also Duck à l’orange. I would qualify this dish as Mouthgasmic. Even though the portions aren’t really big (if you are really hungry I would recommend you to have a starter, a main course and probably dessert) they were tasty enough to satisfy me. We accompanied our dinner with a white wine called Couleurs du sud, Chardonnay, 2009 which was, in fact, sweet and easy to drink.

Price: Snack + Main Course + Dessert + Drink = 50 – 70Lt (14,5 – 20 €) | The entrance costs 21Lt (6€)

The Review: It was the first time I was visiting the Vilnius TV tower (a really emblematic lithuanian construction). The price of the ascension to the restaurant (located at the height of 165 metres) is a bit expensive from my point of view but the sightseeing really deserves the price. The restaurant is a rotating one. I discovered it when I was sitting at the table and looking the lithuanian sunset and suddenly I realized that we were moving. Quite cool. The first one (and hopefully not the last one) I’ve ever been. The food wasn’t anything impressive, I had an apple pie with ice cream with an acorn coffee (really tasty actually). The best thing was the view of Vilnius.

Price: One starter + one main course + bread + drinks= 50-70Lt (14,5 – 20€).

The Review: Found in the heart of Kaunas’ old town, Rhodos is a new (2012) Greek restaurant. Really nice ambient with an exceptional food. I ordered the Dolma (a mixture of minced meat and rice surrounded by vineyard leave) which was especially delicious. Also I had the Pita (greek bread with olive oil) which was also really tasty. This last one is nothing really hard to make, but still. Great vibes accompanied with the dim light that you can see in the picture upwards.
