👍👍 Delicious food, healthy and in center of Kaunas. As vegetarian you are a bit doomed in terms of traditional food, when traveling in east and North of Europe. But this place is an absolute gem. Discovered them by accident, but so happy I was in the end. The buckwheat cold tea is a must. The beans so...

    Delicious food, healthy and in center of Kaunas. As vegetarian you are a bit doomed in terms of traditional food, when traveling in east and North of Europe. But this place is an absolute gem. Discovered them by accident, but so happy I was in the end. The buckwheat cold tea is a must. The beans soup also a must. 😂 I think all menu is a must. Too bad I was only 1 day in Kaunas, so I can t try more of their menu. Also the lady so nice and hospitable.

    Such a cute, old world charm place serving vegan traditional Lithuanian dishes. Healthy and made from whole foods! It’s such a rarity! An absolute gem and a must visit in Lithuania, not just Kaunas. Prices and portions are friendly so you can easily try a couple of different dishes!

    I much prefer this little vegan café in the summer, when I can sit outside in the sun. The food is based on traditional Lithuanian dishes. I strongly recommend the crepes. The staff are not very good at speaking English though they may be better than most English tourists at speaking Lithuanian! The menu has good English translations though.

    Amazing vegan food!!! Felt like eating at home - it was lovely. We had the crispy eggplant and the mushroom patties. Can recommend both. Just the sparkling water was not good. Highly recommend the place!

    A pretty authentic vegan and vegetarian place which is super unusual in Lithuania. Loved the soups and the main dishes, the sweets are in the league of their own! Recommended for paleo diet people too.

    (Translated by Google) What a delicious meal! Traditional Lithuanian food is vegetarian or vegan, so you will not find meat dishes there. It is also possible to buy all kinds of pastries and healthy sweets and medicines. When I'm in Kaunas, I'll be back! (Original) Koks skanus maistas! Tradicininis lietuviškas maistas pagamintas vegetariškai arba veganiškai, tad mėsos patiekalų ten nerasite. Galima įsigyti ir išsinešimui visokių pyragėlių ir sveikų saldumynų, vaistų. Kai būsiu Kaune, būtinai vėl užsuksiu!

    Everytime in Kaunas I visit this old school all vegan place. Great dishes, some dishes fried in pan but also traditional and healthier options. Open for third decade now. Love it.

    Café in an old socialist style pharmacy. The lady serving food seems very kind. Like a mum feeding hungry kids after playing outside. :)

    Super authentic vegan grandmother experience guaranteed. Absolutely enjoyed the authenticity at every moment here. Not your standard modern vegan place run by 20 year olds and that's why this place is much more special! 4 stars because pancakes were overpriced and 9 euros for 2 on the plate when we ordered 2 of them and they decide to put them on the same plate. When asking to see the receipt before paying they answered that pay first then we show.. what :D?

    Local food veganized! Idk why this place isn’t on more vegan lists because it’s fantastic. Right on the beautiful, quiet pedestrian walkway. English menu available, great prices. My only issue really was narrowing down what to get. Beet soup is an obvious choice. Vegan savory pastries aren’t super common, so that’s a must. I went with spinach and it’s delicious. Dumplings as a main is the right move. Enjoyable experience, just the thing I want when traveling. But I will say, if you are accustomed to especially rich or heavily spiced cuisines these dishes may come across as simple. But you can adjust your expectations accordingly and enjoy the experience and delicate flavors!

    What an amazing place, I’ve eaten here twice during my visit to Kaunas, in fact I’m sat in there right now The food is wholesome and healthy and reasonably priced, the pumpkin soup at €2 is particularly good.

    Rude people serving bland food ! I am vegan and shocked that a restaurant that calls itself « vegan » serves food with animal cheese in it ! Do yourself a service, don’t come here, even mc Donald’s fries are tastier.

    Labai skanus veganiski šaltibarščiai!! Tikrai reikia paragauti. Try the cold beat soup here called “šaltibarščiai”. It’s made with raw beets making it super refreshing. I highly recommend stopping by this vegan place. The kombucha is also delicious!

    All vegan, all home made, lots of Lithuanian dishes reinvented, excellent service, people should just come eat here, authentic, like all restaurants should be. Original and memorable.

  • 2/5 Lige P. 3 years ago on Google
    The food was good and if it weren’t for the bill at the end, it would receive a 4-5 star. Honestly, my friend wasn’t looking when she paid and didn’t understand Lithuanian and only realized how high the bill was in the car when we were an hour outside of the city. We bought 2 soups and 3 mains and two juice cocktails and it came to 42 euros! That’s outrageous. We were taken advantage of. The food is good, but don’t get scammed like we did. Double check the bill when you are paying.

    This restaurant is incredible. Right on the main walking road in Kaunas and the prices are fantastic! A must stop when in Kaunas. We ordered the mushroom, and also the pumpkin dumplings. They were unreal. It felt like we had stepping in to our grandmothers homes and had her cook us a meal. The potato pancakes were amazing as well. Such a gem! @wanderlustmoonduo
