This section lists providers of dining services throughout Latvia (except for Rīga) – cafés, bars and restaurants that offer and honour Latvian foods and traditions. The venues have specific opening hours, and small groups of visitors do not need to make reservations in advance. If your group has more than six members, we suggest that you contact the venue in advance to ensure smooth services.
The “Latvian Kitchen” logo means that the dining facility will have at least three traditional or modern Latvian foods and drinks on the menu. Each venue will list the foods and beverages that are available. If the menu has changed, ask your server to identify the Latvian foods.
