From the moment you step inside, the ambiance sets the tone for a wonderful meal—warm, modern, and inviting, making it ideal for both a relaxed evening and a special occasion. The service is attentive without being overwhelming, ensuring that every detail of your dining experience is taken care of.

The highlight of the meal was undoubtedly the seafood. The fish was cooked to perfection, tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The octopus was another standout dish, delicately prepared and full of taste, showcasing the kitchen’s skill in handling seafood with precision. Every bite carried freshness and quality, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to fine ingredients.

The starters were equally impressive. The hummus, in particular, was creamy, smooth, and balanced, making it a delightful way to begin the meal. It paired perfectly with the fresh accompaniments and set the stage for the courses that followed.

Donelaičio is one of those rare places that nails the balance between sophistication and soul. Tucked along one of Kaunas’ grandest streets, the moment you step inside, you’re greeted with a warm elegance — refined but never pretentious.

It was perfect. Toast with banana was delicious...
