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!

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.

Their burgers are made from local farmer's beef that the owner takes as seriously as the air we breath, locally baked bread and loads of other mostly pretty healthy ingredients that usually is unlikely for a burger. All of this can be topped off with home fries, shakes, salads and more. Try their macaroons for dessert as well!

It is everything but a typical fast food restaurant. The difference hides in many things. Here you can always follow your meal being prepared, and that's something that has never been done before. No mass production, no “warm up in a microwave”. And, most likely, you need to go there for a month constantly to try every meal they offer.

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.
