Overview

  • Discover the real taste of Riga on an intimate, premium food tour limited to just 15 guests.
    We start at the monumental Riga Central Market. To ensure you don't miss a word in the buzzing pavilions, we provide wireless audio headsets (for groups of 8+). You will step out of your culinary comfort zone and experience a symphony of 25 distinct flavour nuances—from traditional herring and hemp pesto to local chicken winglets and iconic bacon-horseradish rye bread croutons.
    After a scenic 15-minute walk packed with local history, we leave the market crowd behind. The tour culminates in a charming Old Town café for a cosy, sit-down meal served family-style. Enjoy seasonal soup, authentic grey peas with speck paired with fresh kefir, warm bacon pastries, homemade apple juice from our manager's garden, and a cranberry dessert. We top it off with a premium Riga Black Balsam tasting ritual and local candies.
    Come hungry, bring your curiosity, and experience Riga like a local!
