Delightfully Delicious Destination — Riga

An old saying suggests — Don’t hide your light under a bushel! Although we really love Latvian countryside bounties and perhaps deep in our hearts we would like to keep them just for us own, we have decided that finally the time has come to allow you trying the special tastes of Riga. They will be served by the best Latvian chefs; every month they will include in their menus some special local product that represent our cuisine, feel of taste, and look on the life.

Within the project “DELIGHTFULLY DELICIOUS DESTINATION — RIGA THE GASTRONOMIC CAPITAL OF THE BALTICS” you will have the opportunity to try the best the Latvian nature can give to us throughout the whole year.

Products’ calendar

Every month chefs will prepare a special meal offering you the most unexpected combinations of tastes. These meals will be just like Riga — surprising, inspiring, and different. Unexpected! The peak of the project will be at December, when you will be surprised by restaurants’ special holiday offers. Do not miss the chance to try chefs’ specials combining the best tastes from Latvian meals of this year.
