[2025 Riga Restaurant] Travel Guide for Rozengrals (Updated Aug)

📍 Where Is Riga? Riga, the capital of Latvia, sits gracefully on the Daugava River, right at the crossroads of Northern and Eastern Europe. It’s one of the Baltic region’s hidden gems, rich in culture, architecture, and warm hospitality—even in the cooler, quieter months of winter. 🏛️ What Makes Riga Special in Winter? In winter, Riga takes on a peaceful, intimate atmosphere. The historic streets are calmer, the cafés more inviting, and the whole city feels like it slows down just enough for you to truly experience it. It’s the perfect time to enjoy local life, seasonal food, and architectural beauty without the summer crowds. 🧭 What to See & Do in Winter • Old Town (Vecrīga) – Discover medieval buildings, romantic courtyards, and charming alleyways lit with warm lights • House of the Blackheads – A stunning Gothic-style building in Town Hall Square, rich in history and detail • St. Peter’s Church – Go up the tower for panoramic views over Riga’s rooftops and the river • Art Nouveau Quarter – Take a walk through Alberta Street and discover Riga’s world-famous facades • Riga Central Market – One of Europe’s largest markets, perfect for tasting local specialties like rye bread, pickled vegetables, smoked fish, and honey ☕ Where to Warm Up • Parunāsim kafe’teeka – A fairy-tale café hidden in the Old Town, perfect for tea and cake • MiiT Coffee – Local favorite with craft coffee and a cozy, minimalist interior • Rocket Bean Roastery – Industrial vibes, great brunch, and excellent coffee • Mr. Fox – Fresh, healthy food with a Scandinavian touch 🧣 What to Expect Weather-Wise • Winter in Riga is cold and crisp, with temperatures ranging from 0°C to -5°C, but often dry • Overcast skies are common, adding to the city's moody charm • Days are short, but streets and squares are beautifully lit in the evening ✨ Why Visit Riga in Winter? • A more authentic, local experience with fewer tourists • Comfort food, warm drinks, and an easygoing vibe • Ideal for slow travel – museums, bookstores, quiet walks, and cultural exploration • Better hotel deals and off-season prices 🕒 Best Time to Go • Late November to February is ideal if you love city breaks with a calm rhythm • December offers festive decorations and cozy lights • January and February are great for wellness, spa experiences, and slow travel 💡 Final Thought Winter in Riga doesn’t have to mean snow—it means quiet beauty, Baltic elegance, and comfort at every corner.

#gourmettrip There are two entrances to the restaurant, and when I went down the small staircase and entered the restaurant, I was greeted by staff dressed in medieval costumes. The restaurant was dark and lit only by candlelight, so I felt like I had wandered into a movie set in the Middle Ages. When I ordered a chicken dish, a whole chicken appeared in front of me. It was very filling. The crispy skin was fragrant, and the chicken was tender. It was so delicious ◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦◦⊹⋯⋯⋯⋯⋯⊹◦ Spot information 📍It's located further down the alley I recommend using the flag monument as a landmark 📍It's very filling, so I recommend sharing one dish with someone (I was traveling alone) 📍If you're a fan of Dragon Quest, be sure to check it out #girlstrip #solotrip #Riga #OldRiga #Latvia #overseastravel

Rozengrals, located in Riga, Latvia. This is an underground castle restaurant, where all the lighting is a candle, which is already very romantic and mysterious. Main course is mainly based on Western food. Don't worry about not being able to read the menu, because the Chinese menu is available here, which makes us very surprised. Roast chicken is for children, it is really delicious. This is a very awkward roast pork leg. It tastes like it should be based on personal taste. I think it is normal. It is highly recommended that the mushroom soup has a very fresh taste. It is fried with vegetables and it is really delicious. I am eating the rhythm of all. This is a restaurant that takes pictures and eats. Entering the restaurant will always go down, mysterious. The restaurant waiter is also a sailor costume, feeling that he has come to another world. People: Consumption is small, about 200 per capita.
