Pelmeni XL: Heaps and heaps of Pelmeni

  • This is a quick place to grab lunch or dinner, there was almost always a line but it goes quick. This location is open very late, open 9am-4am.

    All the Pelmeni are the same price and weighed at the end, I think our total bill for 2 drinks and 2 bowls of pelmeni was around 2 lv ($4 US) and the drinks were most of the cost.

    Grab a bowl and fill it up with one or more varieties of pelmeni, dumplings filled with different meats (I think there was one vegetarian option as well). As I can't read Latvian, I just tried a few of each and all were good.

    There are several different sauces to try as well, I tried mayo and sour cream, heck the calorie count was already out the window!

    Dzirnavas (the Mill): Hearty cafeteria style Latvian food

    The Mill
    by Dabs
    Part of the very popular Lido group of restaurants, this was the best place we ate at in Riga, I liked it so much we ate here twice. The food is served cafeteria style, but unlike a lot of buffet type restaurants, the food has mostly just been cooked and is still piping hot. Grab a tray and the servers, who all spoke English very well, will dish up what you want to eat. The prices for the food is listed on cards near the serving stations but at these low prices I never bothered to look.

    This place had a MUCH bigger selection than Alus Seta, the Lido restaurant in Old Riga, so if you are willing to walk just a bit further, you should go here instead. And maybe you can justify adding one more thing to your plate ;-)

    On our first time thru I made the mistake of not looking at the whole buffet, the buffet goes on for several rooms so make sure you peruse the whole thing before starting to order.

    The interior is decorated like an old farm house, I must have missed the stream that the guidebook says it has. The restaurant is huge and we didn't have trouble getting a table on either visit.

    Our bill came to 8 lv both times with drinks(around $16US) Cash Only

    Pork with bacon wrap,chicken cutlets, fried potatoes, ribs, potato pancakes, banana crepes-everything we tried was excellent!

    Vermanitis: More hearty cafeteria style Latvian food

  • Vermanitis is similar to Dzirnavas, both are owned by the Lido group, both are cafeteria style with similar pricing. I think there is less seating at this restaurant, it was almost full on the day we went for lunch.

    The interior was a little more modern, if you want more of a old world ambiance go to Dzirnavas.

    Same type of food as Dzirnavas-lots of meat, fried potatoes, blintzes, potato pancakes.

    The desserts here looked really good so I grabbed one, it was not what it appeared to be and not nearly as tasty or as sweet as I thought it would be. I would stick to the fruit filled blintzes for dessert, the banana ones were really good!

    Have a special dinner in fairy-tale wonderland, the biggest log-house building not only in Latvia, but also in the whole Europe - national LIDO Relaxation Center. Taste a typical Latvian cuisine and enjoy the unique atmosphere of the LIDO restaurant. Although on the weekend it might be crowded of locals and tourists and a little bit difficult to find a free table.

    Cili Pizza: Best pizza in Riga

    Cili Pizza
    by Dabs
    Cili Pizza, a Lithuanian chain, gets my vote for the best pizza in Riga. We stopped at the location near Stockman's Department store twice to have pizza.

    It's a busy place, we had a short wait to get a table but service is quick and the pizzas don't take long to make since they are thin crust.

    Pizzas in Riga are a bit different than American pizzas. Most of the pizzas are loaded with 5 or more ingredients and are actually quite colorful. They don't have much tomato sauce but they do have bottles of ketchup on the table if you need the tomato flavor. I thought they were good without the ketchup.

    The first time we went we both ordered normale size, a little too big even if very hungry, maza was a better size if you each want to order your own.

  • Self-service restaurant in the Old Town, set in rustic style. The menu contains almost all fresh and salt water fish dishes at affordable prices.

    Pop in and enjoy a delicious meal washing it down with a refreshing mug of Latvia's finest beer.

  • Wooden furniture, comfy sofas and warm colours make this basement bar a good spot to have a lunch in the Old Town - they offer cheap lunch deals and here cheap doesn't mean bad! Or order anything from the menu like Greek salad, streamed trout or pork chops. And you don't have to be an adept of helthy lifestyle to try one of their amazing "healthy cocktails".

    "Woc chicken" - tenderloins of chickens with prima souce. Capitally!

    We alternated between Latvian food and pizza, my husband is a pizza junkie and we eat it in almost every city we go to.

    The pizza here is made in a wood fired oven, I liked Cili Pizza better but this pizza was good too.

  • Well, I think you have to see it. It is a very big restaurant, but self service. You can see how the food is made and choose what you want. There is a big choise of local food and other international food.

    A small artsy restaurant offering a lovely view of the St. Peter's church through "smart" tinted windows which make it a warm, sunny oasis for most of the day.

    Average meal price: 2-5 Ls, beer - 1 Ls.

    Vegetarian food and warm atmosphere.

    International food and good beer, including traditional Latvian beer.
