The renovated space is a solid upgrade&mdash;street-style decor with a hip-hop vibe. Good spot to grab a drink if you&#39;re in the area.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Fish soup and potato pancakes were solid, hit the spot on a cold day. Service was fast enough. 👍

Solid almond croissant &mdash; flaky, not too sweet. Cappuccino was fine too. Quick stop before meetings, no complaints.

Small place inside, but they got a terrace for summer. Decent pick of drafts and cans, some local cider too. Bartender knew his stuff, helped me pick something I actually liked. Good spot if you&#39;re into beer.

The terrace is lovely for a drink, that&rsquo;s true. But the food didn&rsquo;t really match the vibe. I ordered the beef burger, which was fine, safe choice. My friend got a poke bowl and honestly, way overpriced for what came out. Tomato soup was decent though. Service was sweet, no complaints there. Just left a bit hungry, honestly.

Cozy place, liked the Finnish vibe. Hot chocolate with mint spirit hit the spot. Karaoke made it lively, maybe a bit loud for chatting but fun.

Food&#39;s been solid every time we&#39;ve been. Staff remembers us now, which is nice. Just wish they&#39;d speed up the table turn a bit on weekends. Still our go-to though.

The veggie plate was actually pretty solid &mdash; the grilled halloumi had that nice salty bite. Prices are a bit steep for the portion though. I get that it&rsquo;s central Riga, but still. Would come back if I&rsquo;m craving something light, just not an everyday spot for me.

The ramen here has real depth&mdash;broth&rsquo;s been simmering for hours, you can taste it. Went for the classic pork belly bowl, and it hit the spot on a cold evening. Pairing it with a dry sake worked surprisingly well, cut through the richness. Place is cramped, maybe six tables, so book ahead. Vegetarian options looked decent too, though I didn&rsquo;t try them.

Taco Tuesday deal is solid&mdash;three tacos plus a drink for a fair price. Food&rsquo;s been consistent every time I&rsquo;ve stopped in. The seating was comfortable too, which I always appreciate.

Bartenders knew their stuff. The black balsam they poured had that herbal kick, proper bitter, not for everyone. Took their time explaining how locals drink it. That was it. One glass was enough, strong stuff.

Been here a few times now. Burgers and pasta are always solid, and the bill never feels crazy for what you get. Only thing&mdash;music gets a bit loud if you&#39;re trying to talk. They did turn it down when we asked, so that was nice.

Stopped by for a quick bite and grabbed the &quot;Latvia&quot; pizza&mdash;New York style with a local spin. Crust was thin and crispy, toppings felt fresh. Staff spoke English, which made ordering easy. Place was a bit busy but fine. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The hazelnut latte was a nice holiday touch, and the cups made it feel festive. I sat upstairs where it was quieter, and the chair was actually comfortable enough to stay a while. They have a decent cake selection too. Just wish the service had been a bit quicker, but it was fine for a relaxed afternoon.

Stopped by for a quick drink before heading out. View over the old town is really something. Cocktail was solid, not too sweet. Price was fair for the spot. Service was fast enough. Good place if you just want a short break and not a long sit-down.

Decent spot for lunch. Quiche was fresh, salads were good too. Prices run a bit high but the quality holds up. Fine if you&#39;re in the area.

The pistachio pesto pasta was really good. Nice relaxed vibe inside, and they didn&#39;t mind our dog hanging out with us. Prices felt fair for what you get.

The vegan pizza was solid, but the cheese substitute felt a bit flat. Wish they had more options there. Still, left full and happy.

The ribs were properly tender, and the beer list had some good picks. The little inner courtyard made it easy to just sit and stay a while.

Stopped by for a quick pint and ended up staying longer than planned. The tap list changes all the time, had some Schramm mead which you don&#39;t see everywhere. Bartender knew what they were talking about, pointed me to something I&#39;d never tried before. Solid spot if you&#39;re into beer.

Walked in without a booking, got lucky with a table. Lobster special was solid, scallops too. Ribeye came out exactly as asked. Been here a few times now, still consistent.

Came for drinks, ended up booking a table for the next night. Wine list is solid and the food matched. Staff actually remembered us when we walked in. Nice spot.

Cozy spot, been coming here for a while now. The seating is comfortable and the vibe stays consistent every time. Good place to just sit and talk over dinner.

We sat outside on the terrace. Chicken shashlik was really good, tender and had that smoky taste. Portions are big, no complaints there. Only thing is the highway noise, you can hear cars the whole time. Not their fault really. Place is fine for a casual meal if you&#39;re in the area. I&#39;d come back for the shashlik.
