Description

Praised for its authentic, homemade-style Lithuanian food, Žemaičių ąsotis serves dishes based on heritage recipes described as being prepared 'like at grandma's in the village.' The atmosphere is a major draw, featuring a cozy, tavern-like interior with a fireplace and a unique collection of traditional clay jugs. Diners flock here for the famously enormous, wallet-friendly portions, so consider sharing or ordering half-sizes. The restaurant is very popular and located outside the main tourist center, so booking a table in advance is highly recommended to avoid long waits, especially during peak hours.
