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.

Arguably Riga’s most high-class restaurant, chef Martins Ritins keeps clients tempted and amazed with his fabulous creations. The favourite haunt of any visiting diplomats, royalty or celebrity as the photos on the wall will testify, if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for us. The service here is impeccable, the food always mouth watering and mostly organic and the atmosphere sophisticated yet comfortable.
|
All meals served here are kosher, falafel sandwiches, soups and pastries are ideal for cheap, quick snacks. Although the café is a more than a little bland the little souvenirs and books which are available brighten the place up a bit. Please remember that it is closed from 10am on Friday for worship.
