Atitikmeniu

Atitikmeniu is a Lithuanian word that translates to "menu" in English. It refers to a list of available food and drink items offered at a restaurant, cafe, or other establishment where food is served. Typically, an atitikmeniu will be presented to customers upon being seated, allowing them to peruse the choices before placing an order.

The contents of an atitikmeniu can vary greatly depending on the type of establishment. A traditional Lithuanian restaurant might feature dishes like cepelinai, šaltibarščiai, or kugelis, while a more contemporary eatery could offer international cuisine. Beverages, including alcoholic and non-alcoholic options, are also usually listed. Prices are almost always included alongside each item.

In a broader sense, the term "atitikmeniu" can also be used metaphorically to describe any selection or list of options available. For instance, one might speak of an "atitikmeniu" of educational programs at a university or a "menu" of services offered by a company. However, its primary and most common usage is in reference to dining establishments. The design and presentation of an atitikmeniu can contribute to a restaurant's overall ambiance and branding.
