A
Kurpiai
It is quite incredible really: this Old Town jazz club with cobbled terrace and dark old-world interior has been around for years, opening its doors way before all the postindependence bars and restaurants mushroomed. Yet it remains not just the best place to eat in Klaipėda, but one of Lithuania's best bars too. (Hell no - it's the best.) A Klaipėda legend, not least because of 'Lithuanian Louis Armstrong' Kango and his amazing sax life, Kurpiai is the spot to come for funky live jazz nightly while sampling tender, juicy steaks and fish dishes. It heaves at weekends so get in well before 21:30.

Anikės Teatras
Just about the only restaurant with a terrace truly plump on Teatro aikštė, this theatrical dining spot with lavish interior is a Klaipėda must-dine. European is served in the teatras; Lithuanian in the adjoining kuršiai.

Čili Kaimas
A chain it might be, but Čili Kaimas deserves recognition on two counts: (a) for its smoked ears, potato pudding and other hearty Lithuanian fodder (b) for its atmospheric setting in a great Soviet-era cinema.

Scandal
Scandal is a brash American dream, part Wild West, part Mae West, where charcoal-grilled steaks are as big as states. The spare ribs and brownies are legendary.

Forto Dvaras
Another rustic choice: think thatched roof, painted wood and a chef who cooks like Grandma did years ago.
