So you’ve sampled the local cuisine and eaten your fair share of pork and peas and you want a more international menu then head to A.Suns. Choosing your food is torture as everything is so delicious. Serving the best chicken Caesar salad in Riga and their hamburgers having been voted some of the best in the Baltics, you are sure to eat well, whatever you fi nally decide on.

Despite being a bit on the expensive side for Latvian food, this restaurant is still dirt-cheap. Again you can fi nd the traditional mountains of meat and stodgy potatoes, which are perfect for warming you up on a winters day. You can also sample some of the less generic Latvian foods here, they offer broad beans in butter sauce, fried herring and bulls’ glands for if you’re feeling brave. All set against a backdrop of a brick cellar, this restaurant may give you a more authentic experience than one of the many LIDO restaurants.

This richly decorated restaurant is a real Russian tribute, dining in here is a pleasure, but maybe that’s down to copious amounts of vodka which can be consumed here. Even the food can make you an alcoholic, take for instance the sturgeon poached in vodka. But, even if you’re not a vodka fan, Arbat is a must visit restaurant for a welcoming feeling and fantastically presented food.

The combination of great food plus knowledgeable staff makes this a welcoming place to eat. The restaurant, the more upmarket version of the pizzeria, offers a huge selection of meats and seafood. Pizza from the pizzeria is cooked in an authentic open-fi re oven, well what else would you expect from an Italian owner and chef?

A rustic little brasserie tucked away in a small corner of the Old Town. The rather bland provinicial style and the Latviancum-French dishes are all forgiven when you are presented with the wine list. Over 600 wines are stocked here, probably one of the best selections in Riga. Tasty baguettes and croissants are available to take-away, and at a 20% discount.
