Raudondvario oranžerija
Pilies takas 1, Raudondvaris, Kauno r.
The manor of Raudondvaris Castle is a Renaissance architectural monument from the early 17th century governed by the most prominent Lithuanian nobles throughout its history. Once, the Radziwiłłs, Zabiełłos, and Tyszkiewiczs walked these grounds, and today, any guest interested in the grand past can follow in their footsteps. The manor's most intriguing space for gourmands is its elegantly atmospheric Raudondvario oranžerija. This white cultural heritage gem welcomes visitors with both an elegant restaurant and a lush rotunda.
Under one roof, four classical Renaissance halls and the orangery, rich in exotic greenery, harmoniously coexist. Today, the latter space is a popular spot for relaxed gatherings. However, few know that during the Tyszkiewicz times, the Italian-built orangery housed not only plants but also exotic animals and valuables brought back from the counts’ travels.
The main restaurant repertoire features European cuisine. Yet, guests seeking an even more special historical experience can also choose from the Signature Manor menu, which includes dishes inspired by the Tyszkiewicz legacy in Raudondvaris (reservations are required for this option).
Another unique experience at Raudondvario oranžerija is a guided walk with Countess Rozalija, who not only introduces visitors to the life of the counts but also accompanies them to the restaurant for a cup of coffee, a slice of cake, or a festive lunch.
Raudondvario Oranžerija recommends: The guest favourites include butter-fried pike perch fillet and orange-marinated duck, while the highlight of the Signature Manor menu is "Countess Rozalija's whim" (veal loin with pickled grape leaves, stuffed mini peppers, and roasted mushrooms).
Prices: Starters – 6-14,5 Eur. Main Courses – 12-32 Eur. Children's Dishes – 7,5-10 Eur. Desserts – 6,5-10,5 Eur.
