It is interesting that before some restaurants offered such a service, but in the general hustle and bustle of the holidays, when there were no restrictions, the news about it was drowned out a bit. And this year, a wide variety of restaurants have jumped into the ranks of providers of these types of dishes, from those who prepare Lithuanian cuisine to those located in hotels or highly specialized, say, that prepare only fish and seafood.
Therefore, it is not surprising that the Christmas Eve menu is very diverse: you can order all 12 dishes, all you have to do is provide the number of diners, you can order several dishes and add them to the festive table. It will be easy to choose those for whom Christmas Eve should be Lithuanian, they will not be disappointed and for those who have mangoes, avocados and octopus on the Christmas table.
15 minutes I was interested in the range of Christmas offers, prices, demand and order conditions. If it applies to you, it will keep up!
Offers to build a game yourself
The “Etno dvaras” restaurants scattered around the big cities were one of the attractions for lovers of traditional Lithuanian dishes. There was usually no shortage of tourists here either. Many of the menu items at this restaurant chain are certified by the Culinary Heritage Foundation, meaning they are prepared in a traditional way.
According to Kęstutis Markevičius, the network’s marketing director, offering them traditional Christmas dishes is not something new, but this year the festive menu is broader and more diverse. According to the interlocutor, there is a lot of interest in festive dishes, it is true that there is no fixed price for a certain set of dishes, buyers can choose the dishes they want, and usually choose the most diverse ones.

“Culinary Heritage Foundation expert and our chef Ramūnas Giraitis offers a traditional Christmas sacred meal, fried hemp with potatoes, stuffed carp, herring prepared in various ways, lettuce, apple slices for the Christmas table alongside the usual milk of poppy and Christmas cakes. homemade bread kvass, cranberry biscuits, “said the interlocutor.
He said orders for Christmas and Christmas dishes are expected until Monday night, and shoppers are urged to opt for door-to-door delivery, although there is the option of picking up the sets and arriving at restaurants.
Combine tradition and modernity
This is not the first time that the “Sala” restaurant, operating in Kaunas, Žalgiris Arena, also offers Christmas dishes for the home. According to the restaurant manager Tadas Štramaitis, this year such offers are especially relevant, because people will find the holidays at home, and not with an extended family. “Such an offer has become a great help to create a vacation at home, in a smaller family circle, when you do not want to spend a few days in the kitchen preparing traditional dishes,” he said.
We determine the menu with the chef and share the traditional family Christmas dishes.
It is true that, unlike “Ethno Manor”, “Sala” is not afraid of a bit of modern accents. “We bet on traditional dishes, bringing a bit of modernity and unexpected tastes. Lithuanians really can’t imagine a festive table without herring, meatballs, mushrooms, and fried fish. It is very important to keep those traditions, especially at this time. We paired the menu with the chef, we shared the traditional dishes of the family Christmas Eve, the result was a dinner smelling of forest mushrooms and reminiscent of the dishes that my grandmother prepared ”, the interlocutor titled the general tone of the Christmas dinner.

Another possibility from which the dishes that make up the Christmas table can come is the Pasaje de los Senadores, which this year has opened in the capital and houses both restaurants and shops. You have to creatively get out of a difficult situation, starting in such a difficult year. A team of chefs working in the game room have created a comprehensive 12-course Christmas dinner menu.
