“So… is it like hash browns?” 🇺🇸
“Just try it.” 🇱🇹😉

Some Lithuanian dishes are easier to enjoy than explain. Kugelis is one of them: golden baked potato comfort food that deserves a spot on your plate.

Bring a friend to Cafe Smilga and let the first bite do the talking. How would YOU explain kugelis to someone who's never tried it?

“Like pierogi?”
“Similar… but bigger.” 🇱🇹😂

Meet cepelinai: hearty Lithuanian potato dumplings named for their little airship shape. They may not fly, but they can make a comfort-food lover very happy.

Already a fan, or trying them for the first time? Bring your appetite to Cafe Smilga—and tell us who you'd introduce to cepelinai!

Small extras. Big difference. 🤎

A spoonful of sour cream. A little clarified butter. A slice of dried farmer’s cheese. Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the table feel like home.

And kastinys? That belongs on the list, too.

Wait… potatoes inside a sausage?! 🥔😄

Yes! Vėdarai bring grated potatoes, bacon and onions together in a traditional Lithuanian potato sausage, baked until golden. A little unexpected if you've never tried it—and familiar comfort food if you grew up with it.

Feeling curious? Come give vėdarai a try at Cafe Smilga. Tag a friend who loves discovering something different!

“I’m just getting one thing.” Famous last words. 😏
A little snack. Something for dinner. And a few extras that somehow found their way into the bag.
Come for one thing. You know the rest. 🤎

Crispy outside. Tender chicken inside. And then… garlic butter. 🤤

Meet Kijevo kotletas, also known as Chicken Kiev. Cut into that golden crust and you'll understand why this dish needs very little introduction.

Tag the friend who would hear “garlic butter” and immediately say, “Let's get two.” 😉 Come enjoy a plate at Cafe Smilga!
