Very warm, accommodating hosts. They are very open and like to talk about life in Lithuania. It was a great, authentic experience.
A perfect evening of delicious local homecooked food, wonderful hosts, and great conversation throughout the evening.
We had a delicious, traditional, meal and wonderful conversation with Ruta in her beautiful home in Vilnius.
A great dinner with a local family. Rita loves to cook and entertain and it shows. What a wonderful experience!
Very personable hosts. Gained valuable insight into what it means to be Lithuanian. Ate Zeppelins and delicious beet cucumber soup. One of the highlights of my trip.
The dinner was one of the highlights of our 3 days in Lithuania! The four course meal was traditional Lithuanian dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. Conversation was lively and informative. Having the dinner served in their beautiful home made the evening even more special. Thanks, Ruta, for sending us the recipe for Pink Soup.
We had a lovely evening with Ruta and her husband. The food was good, and the conversation flowed across many topics of interest to us all. Would recommend.
What a treat! Dinner with Ruta was an unforgettable experience. We absolutely loved the company and the food. We ate several authentic Lithuanian dishes prepared by Ruta in her kitchen.
The dinner met every expectation I had for this experience. Ruta and her husband welcomed us into her home. I met a few other guests of the dining experience. Time went by so quickly with the delicious traditional Lithuanian cuisine and good chat. A very warm experience.
What a lovely night! Our charming hostess along with her "sehr zimpotish" (very agreeable) husband gave us a three delicious dishes as well as the dessert 'honey cake'. It was an precious experience for me to spend an evening with this wonderful Lithuanian family. Good conversation in an elegant white house, not luxurious but comfortable.
