Ideally located at the heart of Riga’s Old Town,
surrounded by the churches of St Peter and St
John, Restaurant Domini Canes has consistently
ranked amongst the nation’s best restaurants, and
it’s not hard to see why. The upmarket destination
retains a relaxed and cosy atmosphere with tables
sprawling across the central square, making for
a perfect evening setting. Peaceful jazz music
adds to its appealing charm, and all Nordic-
style furniture has been carefully constructed
by Latvian craftsmen. The bistro-style menu is
seasonal and relies heavily on locally sourced
products, displaying the richness of Latvia’s
countryside and forests.
Sample appetisers such as trout and avocado
tartare and mussels in a creamy white wine, basil
and pesto sauce, or delve straight into the mains,
savouring oven-baked duck leg with roasted
vegetables and a green pea purée, or a juicy
venison burger topped with onion marmalade.
Several vegetarian options are also available
and largely revolve around Cambrian cheese.
The wine list is additionally extensive, featuring
premium bottles from all around the world,
ensuring the perfect pairing to any dish. Booking
is highly recommended, and if you wish to make
your visit that bit more special, be sure to check
the restaurant’s website for live performance and
events updates.
