DESTINATIONS

FOOD AND RESTAURANTS

Some local favorites include the cepelinai also known as a Zeppelin (a small potato football filled with meat) that did in fact get it’s name from the dirigible created by Count Ferdinand Von Zeppelin. Or if you’re really adventurous, try the vedarai (sausages stuffed with potatoes) or the Balandėliai (stuffed cabbage rolls) and zrazai (meat rolls stuffed with potato and mushrooms). Because of the Polish and Russian influences in the city and also because Vilnius was once one of the largest Jewish cities in Europe, there are many Jewish Polish style dishes here like kreplach (dumplings), pierogi (dumplings),blynai (similar to blintzes), kugelis (deep dish noodle or potato casserole, cabbage soup and borscht. Desert treats include  spurgos (donuts).

There are a few local beers (mostly Pilsner), and a lot of vodka.Lithuania also makes a meade (honey beer) that’s really tasty.
