For me, Riga is a very gastronomical city as here are many restaurants with good author or local cuisine that you can’t try in any other place.

1.Paviljons Ziedondarzs
I love the panoramic windows and tables overlooking the park. You can sit by the window and eat with a view of the snowfall. On Summer there are tables at the park.
Location: A.Čaka iela 100
2. Rosemarine

A real trattoria in the best Italian tradition. Warm atmosphere, oven pizza and homemade pasta.

A hipster coffee house with a stylish interior, delicious coffee and pn-desserts. They have a nice backyard terrace.
Adress: Krišjāņa Valdemāra iela 43
7. Anna’s Dārzs
A cozy courtyard, fenced off by trees from a noisy road, along with lights and wicker chairs, takes you to a stylish dacha in the village from Chekhov’s stories. The food is also very tasty.
Adress: Mūkusalas iela 44
8. Terra
Place for lunch. It is very tasty here, especially delicious meat and puree. The portion is placed in a proportioned box. Free water from a decanter. Be sure to try the homemade snickers.

9. The Catch
Having traveled to Japan, I was sure that nowhere else I would not eat so tasty sushi. But here it happened! Tables must be booked in advance.
Adress: Antonijas iela 12
10. Chat
Restaurant-dining room on the top floor of Stockman. Suitable for both eating and working with a notebook, and for an inexpensive lunch. You just have to avoid rush hour when all tables are busy and too noisy.
Adress: 13. janvāra iela 8
11. Wok to walk
If you are in old Riga and want a tasty and satisfying meal (but not in Lido), then WOK is a great option. Large portions and really delicious. You can take one wok for two.
Adress: Aspazijas bulvāris 30
12. Arbooz
It is strictly forbidden for those on a diet. Macaroni, cupcakes and eclairs are not just desserts here, they will become the protagonists of your sweet romance. On the website there is even a schedule for when which dessert will be prepared.
Adress: Dzirnavu 34A
13. Valtera
Feel the atmosphere of a hospitable Latvian village. The interior resembles a country estate. Only seasonal products are on the menu, and only from Latvian farms. If you want a real national authentic cuisine – you are here.
Adress: Miesnieku iela 8
14. Melnais Kiploks
My favorite restaurant in the center of Riga. It is good even at rush hour. All tables are very private. The food is delicious. The staff is helpful.
Adress: Smilšu iela 2
15. Terrace D’Arte
One of the best views of the city. Especially recommended during summer when an open-air terrace is functioning. In the restaurant is a very good lunch menu. You can eat very good plates for 4-5 euros including a drink.
Adress: Dzirnavu iela 67.
Bon Appetit.
