The roast beef with the tuna was an excellent combination. We also the tuna tartare was good. And then we shared the rack of lamb.

As a starter we ordered cheese plate cheese were amazing and the combination of cheese with honey pleasantly surprised us. Also, bread (sooo warm and delicious) and water were free of charge, that is another pleasurable bonus. For a main dish we order beef steaks with red wine sauce. Sauce was well balanced, everything was really flavorful, although nothing spectacular to my taste steaks could be a bit more tender, so 4/5 for the food. On the minuses: noticed a napkin ring under the neighboring table to get to the toilet you need to use an elevator to go downstairs (to the 4th floor), which is not convenient. In total we paid ~100eur per 2 people (starters, main dish, wine) as of August 2023, that is average restaurant price in Riga currently. Overall, I would recommend coming here, it is a good place to spent a fancy/romantic lunch/dinner. Although keep in mind, that the reservation is required and the place may be fully booked especially in the evenings.

The staff was very cold and didn’t really cared if we had enough to drink. The food looked good but overall wasn’t spiced, often cold and especially the pheasant confit was inedible. For a price of over 100€ you can definitely expect more. The food at Lido was better…

Good service. Tasty food. Nice views. Reservation recommended. Enjoy! read more Good service. Tasty food. Nice views. Reservation recommended. Enjoy!
