We arrived tired in Kaunas and unfortunately picked a hotel that turned out to be mediocre. At first we could only find fast food restaurants, then we came across this one. Super atmosphere within the old cellar caves, very decent food at a fair price. An expected treat.

We dined here on a Saturday night and didn't have a reservation but had been advised that this was one of the best places to eat in Kaunas. It was quite busy but not full and we were found a table without any problem. The food was excellent and for what we paid it was outstanding value. Two of us... More

Booked a 17-person group here. They were very helpful and fixed us a long table in the large beautiful cellar room the next day. When we arrived a piano player started hammering just one meter from our table and dancers practically kicked on our chairs. It was impossible to talk normally. Luckily they stopped this when we complained, but they... More

We stumbled upon this resturaunt when we were out exploring the town. The lovely arched ceilings and small rooms were beautifully lit with candles. The resturaunt was busy, with a good buzz from the diners. The service was excellent with the waiter taking time to explain the menu and dieshes for us, and he was most attentive throughout the meal.... More

This is definitely not the cheapest place to eat in Kaunas. Atmosphere however is very nice and food is OK compared to its price. Service is on medium level. Centrally situated in old town and thus easy to find the restaurant.

I personally think it's one of the best places for a good meal & equally good service in Kaunas. There is nothing very "hip" or "cool" about this place but if you're up for a good meal, service and atmosphere - it's the place to go for. It's an old, classic restaurant, which has never disappointed me. There are a... More

Restaurant Senieji Rusiai should not be confused with Russian cuisine as Rusiai is for "cellar". First we thought of taking cepelinas, but it seems no decent restaurant in the whole Lithuania has them on the menu. We took stake, me and my partner both, two different ones. With both we had to be careful of not swallowing our tongues. The... More

You have two choices of where to eat. Inside is in a windowless basement. It is very nice down there, but rather dark. On a nice day, however, you can eat outside. As this is on a main street, it is great place to enjoy the local atmosphere. Food was good and not too expensive. Overall, a very nice meal.

We had quail for a starter. Interesting and tasteful! I had deer loin for the main course. It was excellent! Dessert was a bit disappointing and the service was nice but extremely slow (and not many guests), this took almost 3 hours, maybe the football on the tellie was to blame? They started closing the place before we got our... More
