Chef who opened a new restaurant by the sea is convinced: there is no competition for me here

Chef Artūras Baločka has opened a new French cuisine restaurant, 'Languotas virėjas' (The Spotted Chef), in Kretinga, a town in Lithuania's western Žemaitija region. The restaurant has been operating for just six weeks, yet word of its quality has already spread as far as the capital, Vilnius, prompting a visit from the publication.

Baločka, who spent 15 years working abroad before returning to Lithuania, did not immediately open the restaurant upon his return. However, the idea of establishing his own establishment, particularly one focused on French cuisine, had been a long-held ambition since the early stages of his career.

When asked about the competitive landscape in Kretinga, Baločka expressed a strong sense of confidence, stating unequivocally, "There is no competition here." This assertion suggests he believes his restaurant offers a unique culinary experience in the area, setting it apart from any existing establishments.

The opening of 'Languotas virėjas' marks a significant return for Baločka, bringing his international experience and passion for French cooking to the local dining scene in Kretinga.
