Riga chefs prepare an excellent dessert made of semolina - they add vanilla cream, cranberry sauce and nuts to the usual porridge. The taste of this dessert is truly magnificent. Regarding meat dishes we also have much to say as local chefs are full of original ideas. Beef, pork and veal are cooked and served in various ways, mainly with barley porridge or vegetables. Finally, home-made sausages, which are usually served with fried potatoes, become more and more popular among tourists.
A cold beetroot soup named Auksta Zupa is the most popular first course. Bread soup will be also enjoyed by fans of soups. Of course, we should not forget to mention widest choice of fish casseroles, to which are usually added fillets of cod or herring. Herring is very popular here; in many restaurants the fish is fried on the coals and is served to guests with delicious onion sauce. Beer remains the most favorite drink of local residents and tourists. Do not forget to try the beer made by the local Aldaris brewery – it will please even connoisseurs of this drink. Fans of stronger drinks are welcome to order various liqueurs and vodka Latvijas Balzams, which is considered the best among the available varieties of this drink.
