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.

Other highlights include a long, global wine list, quiet music and glasses of absinthe served in the traditional fashion and guaranteed to knock your socks off.
