Latvian Restaurants

1. A Map

   Pastnieka Māja

   • Liepāja, Latvia
   • Restaurants › Latvian

   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.

2. Bugins

   • Ventspils, Latvia
   • Restaurants › Latvian

   With a log-cabin interior jam-packed with rustic knick-knacks and a large patio, Bugins is as hip as you'll get in provincial Latvia. A feast of shashliks, soups, salads and omelettes fill its vast menu, which also has options for kids.

   Lāčplēsis

   • Sigulda, Latvia
   • Restaurants › Latvian

   Directly opposite Trīs Draugi, this place is mainly a bar with lots of pool tables, darts and one-armed bandits (slot machines). It's very clean with funky red curtains and serves light meals in a pub-style setting.

   Red Fred

   • Rīga, Latvia
   • Restaurants › Latvian

   It's unlikely that the urban hipsters bathing in the sublime red glow of this eatery have too much experience using the pick-axes and hard hats that line the walls. But you can't blame them for liking the eclectic food.

5. KAI

   • Talsi & Around, Latvia
   • Restaurants › Latvian

   KAI competes for the title of the most kitsch spot in the Baltics. Munch on unremarkable food and watch fish bob in plastic tubes of florescence. The place has a pool table and late-night disco.

7. Gubernator

   • Daugavpils, Latvia
   • Restaurants › Latvian

   Tucked away in a cellar, Gubernator is an unpretentious spot with a menu featuring Latvian and international dishes. The place has a publike vibe, and is the liveliest place to drink in town.

   Sievasmātes pīrādziņi

   • Rīga, Latvia

   This is the most centrally located of Rīga's beloved pīrāgi shops; you can go local and fill up on a few of these quite cheaply.
