Klaipėda In Your Pocket
Although Lithuania’s third city in terms of size and population, few would argue that Klaipėda is in many ways its second. Home over the colourful and turbulent centuries to the Curonians, Germans, Livonians and Lietuvininkai to name but a few past residents, like any contemporary Lithuanian conurbation Klaipėda (or Memel if you wish) comes with its own fiendishly complicated ethnic and cultural heritage, a fact that makes it the intriguing and at times immensely enjoyable city that it is.

Consistently good service inside a demented barnyard setting, this is the place everybody likes to say bad things about and yet where everybody goes to eat. For good-tasting traditional food at affor

This review is much more negative than the restaurant deserves. The owner, who speaks basic English, now apparently does most of the serving, and the food is so flavorful that there's no need for additional flavoring - though there -is- salt/pepper[...]
We had lunch at the one on H. Manto, and it was a great experience! Very tasty food and good service. A nice escape from the cold weather. Would go back here again.[...]
Definately ... the best house-eletro club in the city.[...]
I have been twice and on both cases was more than happy with the food. Worthy of mention are their cepelinai (zeppelins - potato with a meat filling, in a cream sauce) which were very good, unlike the ones I had at a roadside cafe which were pure st[...]
Went in here a couple of times and enjoyed it immensely. My Lithuanian friend considers El Calor to be one of the best venues in the city. If possible, choose an evening when there is live music. The club has its own band, who did a very competent r[...]
Well, could be a good club, but there is this guy, I would call him Tarzan, running around wooden fences and if your table is near them, that could put you off (it did), they say it’s all insured but I wouldn’t take may chances to dance [...]
Surprised at such a negative review. To date (August 2009) I have been in Klaipėda for three weeks and since arriving I have been to Bambola more times than I care to count... Excellent pizzas (without a single dollop of ketchup) and impres[...]
We chose this venue for the upcoming event - so far I am delighted with everything, there is going to be for that occasion, and conversation with Max was promising to the max. Very glad to having discovered this place, gonna be good deal of pleasure[...]
The tent enclosure is a bit claustrophobic, but in the wind-blown rainy summer that has enveloped LT this year at times, it was a good idea for when my friends and I ate there. Had we been exposed out on Theater Square, our dinners would have blown[...]
I stayed in the Klaipeda Litinterp hotel in July, 2009. The management was very efficient and helpful, and the room good value for the money. The Klaipeda location is very central and historic. I would definitely stay there again.[...]
