Vincents
If you’d go around the city and ask people if they know any high class restaurants in Riga, we can assure you that Vincents will be mentioned every single time. Probably it’s because they’ve been around and providing the best service for such a long time. Since 1994, Vincents have served meals to people like Elton John and back then prince Charles the third who has recently become the new king of England. You don’t have to take our word for it actually. Simply open Vincent’s guest book when visiting and compare your own taste to that of royalties!

Max Cekot Kitchen
Located in a 20th century wood processing factory, it’s an unlikely place for a restaurant. Yet every weekend it turns into an exclusive gastronomical experience for the guests of Max Cekot Kitchen. Named after the chef, this restaurant offers an authentic ever-changing menu with the highest quality food and drinks selection. Because they only serve three evenings throughout the week – we suggest you make a reservation in advance. It’s worth it!

Ferma
This hidden gem of the Riga city center has more than just the geographical location to surprise with. You wouldn’t really expect a place that’s called Farm to be hidden in bushes between central station, national opera and old town. Yet it is and oh what a lovely place it is too. It’s like having a picnic somewhere far outside in the countryside while still in the heart of Riga. Thanks to the open kitchen concept all guests can be a part of this experience throughout every bit of it. Perhaps even take an idea or two for when going to their actual countryside home to cook too. Ferma knows that sharing is caring!

This is a place that all you meat lovers out there will definitely appreciate. More than 12 different versions for steak. Widest selection of Tartar and Carpaccio. That’s just a glimpse into AllChef’s corner. Although this restaurant takes pride in preparing outstanding meat dishes they haven’t forgotten about all the vegetarians and vegans out there either. A vast selection of non meat dishes have been added to the menu so that everyone can leave this little Old town’s corner in peace and with a full belly.

John
No matter where you look here at John’s – beauty will smile right back at you. Interior, view outside the window that opens a sight at Viesturs garden or the open kitchen where you can follow your own meal as it’s being prepared. It’s a generally simple and minimalistic experience and somehow it’s more than enough. It’s exquisite! Especially with all of the meals being prepared not just to serve your perception of taste but eyes too.
