Vilnius In Your Pocket

After a lukewarm run of depressingly tepid winters, Lithuania is once again living up to its reputation as being an awfully cold part of the world to get stuck in between autumn and spring. With the current snap of bitingly cold weather comes the inevitable snow, which in its turn dispatches the nation’s winter sports enthusiasts to the hillocks. In praise of their antics, we’ve risked life and limb to provide an in-depth analysis of the winter sports centre at Anykščiai, 125km or so north of the capital.  On the subject of Vilnius itself, the guide you now see on your screen has once again been meticulously updated, renewed, tweaked and generally improved for your reading pleasure. Vilnius In Your Pocket welcomes all comments, suggestions, high praise and death threats as usual from friends and foes alike. Write to us at vilnius@inyourpocket.com.

  • SteakHouse Helios
    Have been to this place on two occasions. The first one was good and the second one very strange. But let's talk about the food first. The food we have had there so far has been really good, which means the chef is doing a good job. Unfortunately this place is missing an important ingredient, putting that little extra effort. For example, serving you a warm BBQ sauce instead of an ice cold one! Serve cold water instead of lukewarm. This is especially true for the way they decide to price the dishes. Let's round it up; you order a steak and you think potatoes are included in the already high price. Not so. In addition, we asked for a slice of lemon in the water, and instead got half a lemon that later appeared on the bill at a cost of 4 litas! Macabre! But this was in no way the worst.
    The servant we had on both occasions, is not very well educated in neither waiting or manners. At the end while trying to pay with a credit card, he insisted to stand next to us waiting to sign the bill, while commenting that "service was not included". (Which we were very well aware of, and intended to leave it in cash.) This is extremely unpleasant behavior and would never have happened if we were not foreign. But that was not enough, he then asked where we were from, and nodded sarcastically, "yes, yes...". Needless to say, he didn't get anything after this and we will not return to this place again. Food:4, Atmosphere:3, Service: 1.[...]

    Ellie.... KFC etc are not the reason the Yanks are overweight... it's an uneducated, lazy lifestyle :)One of the best things about flying Ryanair from Kaunas is being able to drop in on KFC at Akropolis on the way there & back :)[...]
  • Pilies Kepyklėlė
    This place is so conveniently located and offers a wide enough array of food and beverages that you can end up there more than once during the day if you're not careful. Great poppyseed cake, good crepe and salad variety for lunch, quick service fro[...]
  • KFC
    I wouldn't be caught dead eating at either of those places. I hope that Lithuanians will realize the reason why so many Americans are overweight. Thanks to KFC, Pizza Hut, Burger King and many other US fast food chains.[...]

  • Aistis House
    Although it is located outside of the City Centre, this guest house is well suited to those who prefer quiet accomodation. We found that Vilnius City centre can be very noisy but here you can relax without traffic / city noise disturbing your sleep.[...]

    Stayed there for five nights and I honestly think it was great value for little money. Service was friendly and rooms clean and warm. I'd recommend it to families, couples and everyone who's not looking for a party hostel.[...]
