A few words to describe the Manna La Roosa restaurant: gypsy chic, European bohemian and X-rated (you have to visit to understand). Enjoy prawn tempura and duck wakame among young, precocious, beautiful artists. This is a definite favorite!

Not far from Cathedral Square is a restaurant with the most attentive wait staff in Riga: Valtera Restorans. Seasonal ingredients, clean aesthetics and most perfect herring. A farm-to-table fusion eatery perfectly located in the center of Riga.

Life is short, eat dessert first at the best pastry shop in Riga: BEZE Konditoreja bakery. My friend Ann treated me to a slice of cheese cake. Indeed, there was no room left for dinner after.

A Latvian meal is seldom complete without pork or fish of some kind.

Fish is just one of millions of items sold at the largest market and bazaar in Riga, the Central Market. The market is inside four reused German Zeppelin hangars listed on the UNESCO World Heritage site.

    And also I highly recommend to visit Gauja Park. The Gauja National Park was established in 1973. It stretches over more than 90,000 hectares, protecting the most beautiful section of the Gauja Valley along the Gauja River between Valmiera and Murjani.
