Cepelinai is a traditional dish, u either love it or hate it. (most foreigners hate it too). The meat inside is simple mince, but usually these places mix all kinds of crap. Customer service is major issue to all Lithuanian business- shops, service providers and restaurants. <br />I am currently developing a business idea to open restaurant in more reachable location with good food and service, which will also invite "virgins" to try our food.<br /><br />Please do not get bad impression that all Lithuanians are like people in that place. There are quite a few who would beat any stereotype.<br /><br />P.S. You could try our white bread and cakes (many friends of mine tried it and fell in love with it!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-13794737447002261422011-02-01T00:30:50.862+00:002011-02-01T00:30:50.862+00:00What a great web log.

I have to first of all give praise to whoever created your theme and second of all to you for writing what i can only describe as an fabulous article. I honestly believe there is a skill to writing articles that only very few posses and honestly you got it. The combining of demonstrative and upper-class content is by all odds super rare with the astronomic amount of blogs on the cyberspace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4148635935379992641.post-85974318396659323852009-06-24T03:04:17.278+01:002009-06-24T03:04:17.278+01:00Deeply sorry for Lithuanian service, that's so...Deeply sorry for Lithuanian service, that's so embarrassing to hear...that someone who manages to set up a business in a foreign country knows so little about manners and hospitality. What is wrong with these people??? Maybe the embassy reflects on the whole situation: they don't care if english or any foreigners would like to know more about our country, food, etc. But I do care. Sorry again guys! And I believe that in a good quality restaurant you would definitely find quite few delicious meals from our authentic Lithuanian meniu.
