If you’re looking for refined European cuisine in an elegant, yet modern setting on two floors with fantastic views of Vērmanes Park, there is no better option than Library No.1. The interior is decorated with shelves full of books, an entire wall of wine, funky booths framed by lots of miniature pillows, wooden columns and huge overhead lamps. The menu is seasonal and often includes anything from scallops and oysters to nouvelle Latvian cuisine like slow-cooked pork belly with spiced barley. Home-baked bread with soft and creamy hemp-infused butter is another bonus as is the local Bauskas brew on draught and the fresh-cut flowers on each table.
