Gastronomic Galore at Riga
Riga is known for its adventurous taste buds. You will find the best earthy sausages and black breads served with cheese in the cafes of Riga. Smoked fish is also popular in the city restaurants. Try the pickles and sauerkrauts, grey peas, Pelmeni dumplings, and Rasol (potato salad with meats). Wash them down with the National spirit of Latvia, the Black Balsam. It is a vodka-based liqueur that is made with raspberry, bilberry, linden flowers, ginger and pepper. It is a gutsy spirit and seems to be quite the acquired taste.
Because Riga is well known for its Spas and Wellness, there are many beautiful resorts and spas that offer great accommodation. You can also find lodging at beautiful budget properties and budget hotels located on islands in the Daugava River.
