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'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.

They have absolutely great traditional dance nights every Wednesday, folk music nights on Fridays, and Solanka soup nights on Sundays. By all means the most folk-y and one of the most fun places in Riga!

With laid back atmosphere and modern design in best Riga's traditions a la late 2010s, Veldze truly quenches (the literal meaning of the name, if it was a noun) your thirst and hunger, while you're at it. Soups, burgers and all in between, they also cater for vegetarians which always is a good sign.

It's a great stop while exploring the city centre and an establishment like this will be far less touristy and of higher quality than the so called brewpubs of Old Riga. Sit back and try and go through the taps, then, if you're still thirsty, they've got plenty of bottles too. It's beer o'clock!

The idea itself to make a Latvian rock cafe was born in the 90ies and it did - in the local "wind city" Liepāja. Nowadays it has moved to us - Rigans and we are extremely proud of it as Liepāja is considered the city where Latvian rock was born as well. This cafe truly is LEGEN-wait-for-it-DARY! Legendary!

It has stayed the one and only Irish pub in Riga for fifteen years, looking like Dublin's finest, accustomed drinking space everyone might know about. They still feel comfortable to mix different cuisines, beers, TV channels, nationalities and folk/acoustic music performers together everyday, especially at the weekends.

"Andalusian Dog" is located right under the "K Dog" cinema that used to carry the name before. A great place to have group meals, or to see live or recorded concerts, documentaries, movies or listen to real artists. Democratic, artistic, easy and tasty!

Girls, if you have a trouble getting your guy out of his car for dinner - this might be the place to do the trick - tell him, he'll get a chance to finally try out a seat of an antique Ford! (And it won't be a lie if you book the right table.)

This is not your usual tourist filled ""on-the-top-of-a-hotel" kind of place, you'll feel more like at home, if your home had a roof terrace and beer on tap. Time seems to pass slower in Pārdaugava so there's no rush, just sit back, surrounded by the treetops and plot your next adventure.

There are, of course, different types of kebabs, and many of the words are used interchangeably, but in broad strokes, a kebab refers to meat that has been grilled. A doner and shawarma are much the same, they are grilled meat in wraps.

Rockn'n'roll atmosphere! CB burger + cheese fries + garlic sauce is the absolute top favorite of locals here. Try out also Nemiers black cider (a cider that is produced by a rock bar just around the corner) - you cannot buy it anywhere else, but here!
