Why locals love it

Located in a nice wooden building in Riga centre, this place can be easily passed by unnoticed. But if you look inside the large window you can see the minimalist industrial interior design that together with traditional Latvian wood makes it warm and cosy. Austra was created by chef Rūta Rietuma and Ģirts Točelovskis.
