6. July 2015: Riverside Restaurant @ Radisson Blu Hotel Lietuva
Sometimes you expect nothing and then you are positively surprised. Given the weather turned pretty bad, the decision was taken to get back to the hotel and eat something there. Frankly speaking, the Riverside restaurant is not exactly the place I’d go if I’d be looking for a very atmospheric place. However, I was positively […]
6. July 2015: Amatininku uzeiga, Vilko apetitas
The Amatininku uzeiga, Vilko apetitas is really nothing more than a strategically placed restaurant / bar located at one of the big places of the city. The place really is living of the fact that it is close to a touristic attraction. However, if you want to take a break – especially from the heat […]
6. July 2015: Restaurant Forto Dvaras
The first impression of Vilnius was a positive one – you can incredibly cheap food which is not only tasty but also plenty. I started with a “cold beetroot soup” (EUR 2.35) which was quite rich in flavour and ingredients. The fact that the soup was cold helped to increase the pleasure eating it as […]
5. July 2015: Restaurant Biblioteka No. 1
Apparently, the Restaurant Biblioteka No. 1 belongs to the best restaurants in Riga. After having had dinner there – I would not agree! Vincents and Valtera are definitely way beyond what the Restaurant Biblioteka No. 1 has to offer. But step by step. The “9 course degustation menu” (EUR 60.00) sounded lovely – given you […]
5. July 2015: Restaurant Valtera
Usually, I would not follow the recommendation of a tourist guide, however, as I randomly walked up to the Restaurant Valtera which had been recommended to me the previous day, I decided to give it a shot. And I must admit, I was not disappointed at all! Although in the beginning I was not entirely […]
4. July 2015: Restorāns Vincents
The “5 course degustation menu” (EUR 90.00) with the very promising description “our chefs offer a degustation menu, an ultimate taste of Restaurant Vincents. It’s a celebration of Chef Martins Ritins finest and most popular dishes utilising the best seasonal produce available” started very promising indeed. The moment you are seated the first course is […]
4. July 2015: Black Magic Bar
The Black Magic Bar is a place you pass by and don’t really enter – but as the tour guide also showed this bar in particular, I decided to go there and try the local special called “Riga Black Balsam, 0,5dl” (EUR 4.50). It is a special drink which is made of 24 ingredients and […]
4. July 2015: Restaurant Planeta
I usually conduct quite a lot of research before actually going to a restaurant – however, this time I did not and I was quite positively surprised by what I found. As it was burning hot, I was looking for a refreshing drink and the “Crush Kumquats, 0,4L” (EUR 4.00) is definitely what you can […]
