Lithuanian Food

Food is one of those things that everyone loves. Going to Lithuania i did not know what to expect because it was my first time in the Country and the culture was different from that of the United States or Cameroon. While in Lithuania, i ate at a few restaurants including Belmontas, Medininkai restaurant Dvatas and a few more. The interior designs for these restaurants were absolutely beautiful and their food quite delicious. Going to these restaurants I realized a pattern of how they served food. First they bring out the salad, a jar of water with lemons in it, the main course (which most of the time consisted of rice, chicken and vegetables), a dessert and tea or coffee.

I loved the food but i have to admit salad was never really my thing until i tried the ones served to me at some of the restaurants. While i loved almost anything I ate, there was one thing I did not enjoy; the water with lemons (all i wanted was pure water). I also got to try some of Lithuania’s traditional meals which i liked a lot. Most of the meals i tried as well as the deserts had unique tastes to them but are definitely worth trying. The one thing i realized in the taste of food is that unlike what i am used to in the United States, Lithuanian food and deserts are not too sweet; but no worries there are definately options for those with sweet tooth but i appreciated that not every desert had lots of sugar but just enough. Here are pictures of some of the meals I had.
