Vilnius & Co

Vilnius & Co sells food from Lithuania, Poland and Russia. Due to my Polish ancestry and having spent several summers in Poland as a child I have a huge amount of nostalgia for Polish food, particularly pickled gherkins (Ogorki)…I’ve always loved them, maybe partly due to a Polish advert that featured a dancing gherkin and children singing the Polish word for Gherkin over and over in a catchy tune… well it worked on me! And imagine my delight when the window display of this shop features a huge image of a jar of luscious looking Ogorki!
The shop is easily visible from a distance due to its huge yellow and red sign, and upon approaching, the images of jars of yummy looking ingredients and displays of fresh food draw you in. Well if you like Polish, Lithuanian or Russian food, or just fancy a change there’s plenty to satisfy, with all the kitchen cupboard essentials including jarred and tinned food, dairy and bread, fresh meat, soft drinks and beer. The shop is well-​stocked and neat and tidy, making browsing a pleasure. This shop makes me want to go for a picnic immediately with cheese and gherkin sandwiches and Polish beer! Yum!
