Kebabs<br />
Baku-Ceyhan C-2, Pilies 16, tel. (+370) 607 747 27,<br />
www.eurodoner.lt. Don’t let the stereotype fool you, for<br />
what appears at first glance to be just another kebab shop is<br />
hiding a proper restaurant serving not only excellent kebabs<br />
in the finest Turkish tradition but whose menu also features<br />
a few splendid dishes from Azerbaijan and Georgia. For those<br />
who like their meat of the highest quality and prepared in a<br />
way only those from the Caucasus can do, this is definitely one<br />
for the 2012 dinner diary. QOpen 24hrs. 10Lt. JAS<br />
Korean<br />
Sura H-1, Ozo 18 (Ozas), tel. (+370) 5 277 70 00, www.<br />
sura.lt. A brilliantly thrown-together design of bare concrete,<br />
flashing lights and a few more conservative elements surround<br />
diners whilst they feast on a menu made up of mostly<br />
decent sushi plus a few classic Korean dishes. The pulkogi<br />
was a bit lacking in vegetables but the beef was good and<br />
the sauce was exceptional. They even serve it with short<br />
grain rice for that final authentic touch. The giggling (homegrown)<br />
waitresses are fun too, although why they chose to<br />
put it in a shopping centre in the middle of nowhere with a<br />
rather depressing view is hard to fathom. Definitely worth the<br />
bother anyway. A taxi there if called in advance is about 10Lt.<br />
QOpen 10:00 - 22:00. 20Lt. PTASW<br />
Lithuanian Karaite<br />
Kibin <strong>In</strong>n A-2, Vilniaus 21, tel. (+370) 676 444 22,<br />
www.kibininn.lt. Kibin, kybyn, kibinai, however you<br />
choose to spell it, one of the most popular dishes in the eastern<br />
half of the country comes from the Lithuanian Karaite<br />
vilnius.inyourpocket.com<br />
restaurants<br />
(or Karaim), a mysterious Turkish sect embracing elements<br />
of Judaism and Islam who’ve been resident in the area for<br />
600 years and whose national dish is a Cornish pasty-type<br />
affair usually filled with mutton or pork and dripping with<br />
fat. Delicious indeed. This strangely decorated Lithuanian<br />
celebration of the food is currently the best place in town<br />
to try them. QOpen 09:30 - 20:30, Sun 10:00 - 19:30. 6Lt.<br />

Fusion<br />
Coco Restobar B-2, Labdarių 8, tel. (+370) 5 212<br />
29 09. A huge padded mirror over the door marks the<br />
spot where Coco Restobar can be located. <strong>In</strong>side is a<br />
well though-out affair populated with a mostly young<br />
and intelligent crowd who when they’re not drinking and<br />
ogling the DJs take advantage of a cracking little changing<br />
menu of great experimental food with a distinctive<br />
Asian twist. A small garden should also open as soon<br />
as the weather improves. QOpen 11:00 - 24:00, Thu<br />
11:00 - 02:00, Fri 11:00 - 05:00, Sat 12:00 - 05:00, Sun<br />
12:00 - 24:00. 15Lt. PJABSW<br />
Reinis The Cook Ševčenkos 16a (Daiktų<br />
Viešbutis), tel. (+370) 662 743 39. Reinaldas churns<br />
out a range of interesting, good-looking dishes using a<br />
blend of sound knowledge and improvisation. Somewhere<br />
between a café and a restaurant, find it inside one of the<br />
most fashionable designer shops in the city. Top marks<br />
for joining the 21st century. QOpen 11:00 - 19:00. Closed<br />
Sat, Sun. 15Lt. PTNSW<br />
