Coco loco

A medieval-style restaurant in the old city, underground, with an inconspicuous facade. I had no idea there was a restaurant. An old man dressed in medieval clothes at the door was playing an incomprehensible musical instrument, which attracted my attention. I went in and saw a different world. The food tasted average, the wine was good, and the bread was very special, wrapped in a cloth bag, but a little hard. The price was okay, cheaper than Shanghai.

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.

There are many interesting coffee shops hidden in the streets of Riga Old Town in Latvia, whether it is the black medicine wine coffee shop with a mysterious theme of black magic, or the old coffee shop next to the church with a mottled time, or the old British pub that hides the secrets of Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom, each shop hides a secret that makes people wonder, and they are all so unforgettable.

Most of the coffee shops in Riga Old Town, Latvia, take the retro and nostalgic route. Parunasim coffee shop, hidden in the corner of an old church, shares a wall with the old church. The mottled space makes people feel that this place is originally part of the church. It seems that you can smell the ancient atmosphere of the church through the wall.

The second floor of the coffee shop is also retro, but Parunasim&#39;s retro is not the kind of old-fashioned that is deliberately decorated. Everything looks like it has experienced a long time, as if it was here hundreds of years ago. It is the polishing of time that makes it full of vicissitudes.

This coffee shop also has black medicine wine, which is layered like a cocktail. The color is very beautiful. The lower layer is soaked in herbs, and the black layer on the top is like a seal. I smelled the mysterious smell before I drank it. Take a sip of the bitter and sweet black medicinal wine, and then taste the sweetness of the cake. The sweetness is mixed with the intoxication, and a warm feeling comes from the stomach. Outside the window is the quiet night, and the warm lights in the house illuminate the uneven and mottled old walls. Time and air seem to be still at this moment.

MUUSU is a restaurant in the old town of Riga. When eating at a restaurant in Riga, it is recommended to try their beer instead of wine. Latvia does not produce a lot of wine, but there are many flavors of beer. This is the first time I drink various beers in a wine glass in such a restaurant. Latvia has a long history of brewing and there are many breweries. The wine they produce amazes many wine tasters, and they use local fruits such as rhubarb, dandelion, birch, etc.

The central market in Riga has loads of food for you to try and they are affordable
