The route of the tour follows the wonderful streets of Žaliakalnis (from Kaunas Sports Hall to restaurant “Park Avenue” (Perkūno al. 4, Kaunas).
The building at Perkūno al. 4 is a green house built 100 years ago on a green hill. That house used to be the residence of the German envoy. So, it is unsurprising that the tasting menu is chosen based on the dishes offered to the guests by German envoy E. Zechlin, who used to reside here. His grandson Thomas, who has visited this place, provided us with a lot of helpful knowledge.
During the tasting, the following dishes are offered:
- Forest mushroom strudel with truffle and pecorino cream;
- Natural duck broth and a dumpling with minced pork;
- Beef roll with polenta, cauliflower, and red wine sauce.
- For dessert, “The Black Forest” is served with cherry ice cream made by the chef.
