No. 16 Uoksas

Uoksas is a family restaurant situated in the second biggest Lithuanian city Kaunas. It educates the tastes of diners not only locally. Foreigners also often visit the restaurant and discover it according to recommendations just like the guests from other Lithuanian cities and towns.

This restaurant was born very slowly, when Odeta and Artūras have collected a sufficient amount of knowledge. Uoksas is not only a business or short-term project. It is a way of life, a possibility of self-realisation or even a playground. They and their team let their freak flags fly and often have unexpected, never-tried tastes as a result.
