Restaurants in Riga
The current global financial crisis has sent many a chef packing. On the bright side, you can still find a thin-crust pizza, fresh sushi, hearty pork knuckle and potatoes or an Armenian shashlik without much effort and many cafés now offer cheap lunch specials to lure diners into their establishments. A tip of 10% is expected at most places. The average cost of a main course is listed in parentheses.IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Vairāk Saules

Akhtamar
This cavernous brick cellar is a maze of rooms and niches decorated with traditional kilims hanging from the walls. Huge servings of grilled lamb, beef, pork and even trout are here in abundance as well as hearty soups and stews and a great selection of wines and brandies from across the Caucasus region. Read on

Bergs Restaurant
Possibly the best restaurant in Riga, Bergs never disappoints. With a stylish interior that looks like it was ripped out of the pages of Architectural Digest and an ever-changing menu of international fusion and nouvelle Latvian cuisine that will satisfy even the most demanding palates, it’s guaranteed to make your lunch or dinner a memorable one.
