As many cities in the world, Riga does not differ in the fact that most expensive places surround the biggest squares and most popular sights. Although, if you get some local tips and advises, just around the corner or very close by you can find reasonable meal offers starting from great quality medium done steak to local cuisine and raw food lover meals.
Options are variable – from good fast food to fine dining – just have to choose how you feel like eating today. Even with being quite non-cosmopolitan as Riga is it still offers decent variety of national cuisines and there’s a rumor that here you can find one of the best sushi in the world… Even if it is an over exaggeration – we love it!

It seems this is true about Andrievs Jansons, the owner of Raunas Dārzs. They opened as a small farmers grocery store in a quiet Riga neighbourhood and now they have people coming from all over the town and buying boxes of eclairs. More than 20 different kinds of eclairs are made of organic ingredients from their own farm or other local farmers.

Imagine a quiet and lazy Sunday morning when Riga is just about to wake up. There’s no rush, just the smell of a heavenly good coffee in the air. I bet it comes from the Innocent Cafe – a place where Latvians with their friends and families gather to have some brunch.

Play some foosball, pick a song you love and grab a drink, or pass by during the day for a homemade meal made from their own family recipe. It feels like they actually just invited you in their own living room for a meal or a party, or both.

Alongside with the amazing and really unique crafts, there’s always an actual exhibition going on. And if you’re hungry, there's a marvelous cafeteria upstairs. Only five tables, each one with it’s own character and no menu - you’ll choose your meal while having a nice chat with the chef who will cook something just for you.

The location is very close to Old Town, you just need to cross the Akmens (Stone) Bridge and turn to the right. They have a small cafe where you can have a cup of coffee or glass of local beer, sit by the riverside and enjoy the quiet and peaceful atmosphere and one of the best views of Riga and its famous church spires.

It's a history lesson and great bar at the same time. The devoted young people opened this place inspired from the Soviet buffets that were in the area before. No sad nostalgia though, instead of a bust of Lenin you'll get local poems.

Located in the block with quite a few nice spots to visit "MiiT" is pure locals' favorite where you can hang out with local creatives types in a place with neighborhood houseparty vibe. Even as a non-vegetarian myself this place is definitely high on the list when I'm thinking about a place to eat.

During the day you can just relax and watch other people doing water-sports. Or even try something yourself. Stay till the evening and wait till the party starts. In the summertime we advise to go there by bike as many locals choose to do. On your way you can enjoy the wonderful architecture of Mežapark's buildings.

Here it is all about the peace - that's because the Latvian title "Mierā" means "In Peace" when translated to English. Very cozy atmosphere and delicious coffee & homemade cakes. You can also order some snacks and salads. Enjoy!

Kafka is one of the quiet little places in the Old Town where you can run away from the crowds and be among the local intellectuals. Try one of the coffee flavours from the far-away countries or go for wine. They are both a great match with a good book.

As it's name "mākonis" or "cloud" from Latvian, the place leaves you with a very light, up-in-the-air feeling. And then it comes with delicious meals, drinks from high-quality, self-made ingredients and bunch of adorable local designer works you can spot all around and buy as well. To top it all off - our favourite Illy coffee is present here.
