Offering diners an authentic taste of Latvia, as well as a glimpse into the multicultural make-up of the nation’s
second-largest city, Daugavpils, centrally located Gubernators is a huge hit amongst locals and tourists for a
reason. Inside the quaint underground establishment, you will find traditional and Russian-inspired menus
centred around sumptuous seafood, which is brought in fresh from the Baltic Sea. Taste hearty fish stews,
karbonade
(pork cutlets) with perfectly roasted potatoes and steamed seasonal vegetables, or dare to try
something a little more unusual, such as the fried beef tongue. Locally crafted beers are also available, and the
house brew comes highly recommended.
Bringing the very best of Latvia’s lush hinterlands to the centre of Riga, Valtera Restorāns focuses on delivering
traditional dishes with a modern twist that are packed full of locally-grown ingredients. Spread out over the ground
floor of a charming Old Riga building erected in 1702, the restaurant maintains a bright and cosy atmosphere, with
walls adorned in landscape paintings. The menu itself is constantly changing, reflecting what’s fresh and currently
available from the restaurant’s small-scale partner producers. Go for the eight-course tasting menu to be taken on
a journey through the nation’s various regions, or select a seasonal dish from the al a carte offering.
