Restaurants in Trakai

1. Žejų Namai

   • Trakai, Lithuania
   • Restaurants › Seafood

   For trout, fresher than fresh, motor 11km north of Trakai through pretty lake land to this one-of-a-kind restaurant. Kitted out with a couple of trout pools, a playground for kids and shaded bench seating around lakeside tables, this is the spot to lunch and have fun at the same time. Pick up a rod, bait and bucket and catch your own lunch.

   Staff are on hand to bash friskier fish over the head, after which the fish is weighed, filleted, cooked in a choice of spices and brought to your table on a platter. Other fishy delights include salted or smoked trout, herrings and bouillabaisse (fish soup). Žejų Namai is signposted 11km north of Trakai, off the road to Vievis.

2. Kibininė

   • Trakai, Lithuania
   • Restaurants › Lithuanian

   This green wooden house with Karaite kitchen is the spot to munch on traditional Karaite pasties called kibinai (a meat-stuffed cushion akin to a Cornish pasty that is served with a bread-based drink similar to gira). But beware that first bite - scalding-hot juices pour out. The pretty garden with lake view is particularly peaceful and a hole in the wall doles out meat- or veg-stuffed kibinai to take away.

3. Kybynlar

   • Trakai, Lithuania
   • Restaurants › Lithuanian

   There is a definite Turkic feel to Trakai's other Karaite-driven restaurant, where piping-hot pastries are likewise cooked up alongside a predominantly meat-based fare. The writing on the wall in Arabic is native Karaim, a language belonging to the Kipchak branch of Turkish languages and spoken as mother tongue by 535 people worldwide.
