Vegan Travel Tips for Riga, Latvia, Riga, Latvia

I spent a couple of weeks in Riga and tried to see if it catered for us vegans. Here’s what I found. Riga, the Latvian capital, is a truly beautiful city that I fell in love with right away. It has some excellent vegan-friendly restaurants to try when you visit.

This is one of the few purely vegan restaurants in Riga. It’s a large, beautiful space. The soft music in the background, the plants and the natural light give it a very calm vibe. The menu includes special deals for breakfast and lunch, plus a general menu of starters, mains and desserts.

I tried their seitan wok, which was a little spicy (a good thing). Other mains include a falafel plate, vegan burgers and wraps. A great place to have a meal or chil with a vegan dessert.

It’s a large space with both tables and sofas and some outdoor seating and it was quite full around lunchtime. The atmosphere is pretty chilled even when the place is full.

The menu offers original flavours, mostly Asian. I ordered the excellent noodles and got a complimentary appetizer which was a very tasty surprise.

A lovely vegetarian (mostly vegan) restaurant in the old town with excellent food and great service. It has an elegant interior with an orange colour theme and a pleasant atmosphere. Though the location is very central, it may be be tricky to find with Google Maps, so just look for the orange umbrellas outside. ......
