  2. Pastnieka Māja

    This very modern, ultraslick two-level restaurant is housed in a vast mansion. The menu features traditional Latvian favourites, as well as a few very exotic offerings: the 'spicy nuts' are bulls' balls stuffed with a garlic nut sauce served on a bed of warm bean and potato salad. This is also one of the few places that serves Liepāja's local beer, Līvu alus.

  5. Vecais Kapteinis

    Hands down, the best meal we had in Latvia. The innovative dishes, best described as upmarket Latvian fusion, are rich in flavour and nothing short of delicious. Meat, fish and seafood comprise much of the giant menu, but there are a few pasta and vegetarian offerings as well. The ambience is almost as delightful as the cuisine. In a stunning timber-framed building dating to 1773, whitewashed walls, candles and a seafaring theme cultivate a romantic vibe.
