LT Cafe — Restaurant in Boston

The very interesting little town of Boston with the largest parish church in England has a vibrant atmosphere thanks to the numerous workers from Eastern Europe that now help populate it. We spent a couple of nights in the town and took the opportunity to discover a cuisine that was new to us: Lithuanian. We asked the staff at the restaurant to give us a slap-up Lithuanian meal and left the selection entirely to them. As a result we had Lithuanian cold borsch, a delicious concoction of beetroot and hard boiled eggs, in a creamy soup. This was followed by one Zeppelin each (two is the usual portion when it is a main course on its own, but we might have collapsed under the strain)—these are a very unusual sort of large potato dumpling with a tasty filling of minced pork served with crème fraîche and a bowl of tiny cubes of crispy fried smoked pork. The main course was a large roasted ham hock with some lovely salads and roast potatoes as garnish. (The ‘posh’ English restaurant we ate at two days before at three times the price could do with a lesson from this little place on how to roast a potato.) We were truly filled and truly delighted by the meal. All served in the friendliest of ways in a pleasant room with the added benefit of air conditioning on the hot day that we visited. A lovely experience! PS The restaurant is unlicensed so a good idea is to have a pre-dinner drink at the riverside pub nearby (The Moon Under Water), soft drinks with the meal, then back to the same pub for a digéstif (which will certainly help)...

You’ll be greeted in English or Russian, depending on the staff’s mood, which definitely adds a touch of confusion to the whole “pro-Ukrainian” vibe they claim to stand for.

After a long, draining day, I came in hoping for a warm meal and a bit of comfort. Instead, I got a cold welcome — literally. I was met with an eye roll, a sigh, and the kind of facial expression that makes you feel like your presence is a major inconvenience. If I wanted that level of passive aggression, I’d have stayed in the office.

Now, to be fair — the food? Excellent. Genuinely. But no plate of cepelinai or soup is worth being treated like an unwanted guest. Great kitchen, unfortunate front-of-house attitude. Not...

Hello, Lithuanians and other nationalities who are going to visit Lietuviskas skonis. If you want to taste zeppelins in their all the great you have to come before 1pm. At 2pm they had been consumed, nothing left. We had to order the other Lithuanian attraction made of grated potatoes - "kugelis". It was delicious but I missed Lithuanian bread drink "gira" to accomplish my dinner and I took some juice drink. The portion was huge, too huge for a woman but for a man it would be just alright. I think it was worth my money and I will suggest to everybody to visit this place. The menu is to...
