Restaurant Name: Kavine "Prie Angelo"
The cafe takes its name from the statue of the angel that it is located next to. The 'angelic' theme can be found in its decorations and even names of dishes on the menu.
And it is the ambience of the cafe that I liked best: the elegant, probably handmade wrought-iron furniture, the sofa with the cushions, the delicate colours of raw cotton and earth. There were some pictures and other decorations that I think were for sale but we didn't inquire about them. The music was unobtrusive and the service prompt.
We will always remember the moment we entered the place for the first time (we returned there later that day) and I couldn't get it through to the girl at the bar that we'd like to have something to eat. I tried a few languages but she kept shaking her head. In the end, I said something that sounded like um, um, the way Polish children refer to food, which met with a broad smile and we were given the menu.
As we had left our car nearby to go sightseeing on foot, we returned to the cafe on our way back. This time there was a Polish waitress, so we had no problems, especially that she also gave us the menu in English. The first time it was only in Lithuanian, and we had some difficulties finding out what is what.
Favorite Dish: The first time we had koldunai, baked meat-filled dumplings in mushroom sauce. They were OK, but didn't have much in common with the kolduny my grandmother used to make, and I had hoped to savour that taste again.
The second time my husband had goulash soup, which he said was excellent, and we both had 'the angel's kiss', fruit with ice-cream, whipped cream and a sprinkling of chocolate. In spite of its pretty name it was rather disappointing, both its quality and quantity. I wish we had ordered something else instead,
