Going a bit Rogue in Riga

Riga is not far from my home herein Tartu and I have visited many times. It always strikes me how different the atmosphere is. Of course, Riga is the largest city in the Baltics and Tartu is … well … small. But it is not just the population. The mood is distinct.

Check out Valtera in Riga if you want to go local. Here is a brief description.

I adore Valter’s Restaurant. Just about everything here is sourced in Latvia, from the farm-fresh produce and dairy to the tableware and artworks adorning the walls. (The paintings are for sale – ask your waiter for a price list.) Valtera’s menu is dictated by what’s available from local farms as well as the current hunting and fishing season. Check the restaurant’s Facebook page for weekly business lunch options.

Or there is Riviera if you want to see and be seen.
