This restaurant outside the walls of the old city of Riga has a very unique dining environment and vegetarian food. The dining is in a cellar, and each cellar has only four to five tables, which must be booked in advance. The entrance to the cellar is small and hidden. The cellar is illuminated by candlelight and oil lamps. The simple solid wood tables and chairs, the weak lights, reveal a sense of mystery, a bit like the scenes in the TV series Vampire Diaries.

Even the waiters are dressed in traditional costumes, and the wooden tables are illuminated by copper lanterns and candles. I have to admit that the special dining environment here can make people curious.

Now let&#39;s take a look at what local vegetarian dishes in Latvia are:

Three small plates were served for the first course, a can of black beans, a plate of cucumbers and tomatoes, and a small bowl of honey porridge

Eastern European cuisine advocates natural production methods, which is very different from the cooking methods of Asian cuisine. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. Since you are traveling, you must try authentic local dishes.

The quality of honey in Latvia is very high. After the first course is served, the rich honey flavor lingers for a long time. The black beans are steamed and cooked, very powdery and fragrant, without any seasoning, but you can add some salt or pepper.

The main course is avocado and vegetable salad, which is good for weight loss and beauty, high in nutrition and low in calories, and very suitable for dinner.

The dessert is very special, it is air-dried apples topped with local fresh jam, sweet and sour, and it is the first time I have tried eating apples in this way.

The environment of the cellar restaurant is very special, and the food is also very local, but it may not be suitable for Asian tastes.

I recommend this restaurant in Jiajia, which opened in 1994. For dinner, I ordered the five-course Degustation menu. The last step of each course was completed by a handsome waiter on the table. The bread was probably the best bread I have ever eaten. The truffle foie gras ravioli was quite delicious. Apple smoothie was made freshly. The main course was lamb chops. The last chocolate box was like a big treasure box. When it was opened, there was a music box and a dancing ballet doll in the middle. There were so many choices that I wanted to have a piece of each one. The handsome waiter was well-trained and everything was just right.

The layout of the restaurant is very reasonable, the dishes are very well cooked, the presentation is very creative, and the black round plates make the colors of the dishes stand out. The prices are very cheap.
