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!
