  • Food reviewer Donatas Karklius visited Gossip skonis on Savanorių Avenue in Kaunas for lunch.
  • He paid five euros for a pork cheburek, about half the price of one in Šventoji, and praised its size, filling and crisp texture.
  • Karklius also enjoyed the restaurant’s portions, vegetable sides and other dishes, and said he wanted a similar restaurant in Vilnius.

A five-euro cheburek became the highlight of food reviewer Donatas Karklius’s lunch at the newly opened Gossip skonis restaurant on Savanorių Avenue in Kaunas.

Karklius said people had recommended the restaurant for its food and prices. He ordered a pork zraza with boletus mushrooms for 6.20 euros, cold beet soup for 3.50 euros, kvass and a cheburek to take away. The total came to 18.30 euros.

People told me it was tasty, reasonably priced, and they also have chebureks. That is a super-good combination.

— Donatas KarkliusKarklius explained why he visited the newly opened restaurant.

He praised the restaurant’s cozy setting and generous portions. The thick cold beet soup had a pleasant sourness, while the fried potatoes reminded him of home. The zraza came with rice and vegetables, and he highlighted the large portion of garnish, loose rice and mushroom-scented filling.

It was crispy and full of filling. If the information is accurate, there are 560 grams inside.

— Donatas KarkliusHe described the restaurant’s oversized cheburek.

The cheburek proved too large to finish during lunch. Karklius said it contained pork, Gouda cheese and tomatoes, and reportedly weighed 560 grams. “It was crispy and full of filling,” he said, adding that he had initially been skeptical about the tomatoes but found they complemented the pork and cheese.

He managed to eat only a small corner before taking the rest home. His family finished it for dinner. “I want a place like this in Vilnius,” Karklius said at the end of his meal.

I want a place like this in Vilnius.

— Donatas KarkliusHe gave his final assessment of the restaurant.
