This place is amazing, almost like it was in the Viking Age. The huge wooden planks from the days of candle lighting, the huge leather strapped stools, the waterfalls hanging down from the walls are visually a wonderful place, the bar seems to have been cut from a whole lumber price. Food wise I can only speak for my personal diet, it was one of the better meals I have ever had. There was plenty of pickles and baked potatoes (don&#39;t order the starters). There is a good selection of wines

I went here on a night that I wasn&apos;t starving, but also didn&apos;t want to miss a meal. After checking a few restaurant menus, I knew I had to try their potato-carrot pancakes with sour cream and lingonberry jam. I paired it with the mushroom and goat cheese basket for a delicious small meal.  I was glad I made a reservation, because even at an early hour it was busy.  Of note, they were very welcoming of a solo traveller eating on her own :)

Great choice for Riga

three people. 3 different beers, 3 different meals.  We lucked out to get a table on a Wednesday evening without a reservation. The waitress was fantastic: friendly, helpful and fast.  We shared a "Beer snacks" cheese plate, which was tasty and pretty large.   orders were meatballs (very satisfied), a vegetarian eggplant dish (very satisfied) and vegetarian baked potato (mostly satisfied). The mostly on the last item comes from the potato tasting a like it was pre-cooked before being finally baked. This is common and understandable, but does affect the taste.  While the music was good, we were just under a speaker and it got progressively louder until we really just wanted to pay the check and get out.

Food, ambience, friendly, loud

Highly recommend. We were lucky to find an unreserved table by arriving at around 6pm on a Tuesday. All the tables were soon filled. Great atmosphere, delicious food - which is well presented with generous portions. We are only in Riga for a few days but will try to visit again. The service is a little slow as they are so busy but you don’t mind soaking in the atmosphere as you wait.

Must go eatery.

We went to this bar due to suggestions and reviews in Riga. We had been sick during our stay in Riga but felt ok for a spontaneous New Year´s party.  We tried to figure out a dinner but it looked like NO. As a folk music and dance enthustiastic I found this bar interesting and it was close by to our hotel. It was raining, we were still a bit on recovery... but this bar, live music and the athmospheare hit us! We truly enjoyed our stay and the music, athmosphere! Thank you for making our desperate holiday even a bit more lightful to remember! Amazing folk music and dance!

Amazing folk music and dance club!

Sadly couldn’t get to this evening because I couldn’t book in. I emailed twice, once on the day I was coming to Riga, and then again a couple of days later. No email was ever responded to. I went in in person to speak to someone on the day. Bar staff were looking very, said they were fully booked but they could offer space at the bar only but I would need to come at 6pm which wasn’t possible as I had been out all day. Advised you need to book 5 days in advance - I had tried but to know avail. Very very disappointed.

Couldn’t book in at Folkklubs and very disappointed

这个地方太棒了，几乎就像在维京时代的时候一样。巨大的木板，从蜡烛照明的年代，巨大的皮革绑着的凳子，从墙上垂下来的瀑布，在视觉上都是一个美妙的地方，酒吧似乎从一个整体的木材价格中被砍了下来。从食物方面来说，我只能说我个人的饮食，这是我吃过的比较好的一餐。有大量的泡菜和烤土豆(不要点开胃菜)。这的酒的种类不少

与其说是餐馆，不如说是酒馆，酒的品种非常多。卖的是当地特色菜，顾客以当地人居多，价格便宜。

It is more like a pub than a restaurant, with a wide variety of wines. It sells local specialties, and most of the customers are locals, and the prices are cheap.

Folkklubs Ala Pagrabs

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.

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.

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.

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.

The environment is good, right on the shore of the Sea of ​​Galilee. Choose a seat by the window, the breeze from the lake is very pleasant.
If you take a cruise on the Sea of ​​Galilee, you can choose to have lunch here. The fish is fried very crispy and tastes good. The amount of rice is not small. The rice is not enough. There are flatbreads in the self-service area, which tastes great. There are not many varieties of vegetable salads, but it is very popular here. People come here mainly to eat fish, such as St. Peter&#39;s fish from the Sea of ​​Galilee.
