Riga’s center can now boast of offering the same level of food shopping as does Madrid, or Rome, or any other city on the Mediterranean. A walk through this delicatessen shows a mosaic of the culinary world’s best cheeses, meats, salamis, chorizos, breads, wines, nuts, cakes and pastries, marinated vegetables and fish, the astounding Madagascar shrimp, in beautiful delicate red hues, yet as big as your hand. Sit down for a coffee and sandwich at the bar. If you’re then ready for lunch or dinner, take a table in the executive dining room for sharp service and an excellent menu and wine list. There’s a business lunch, at 9.20 euros, or select from a menu which is heavily weighted with seafood - oysters, shrimp, fish dishes and mussels. The food is exquisite, wine is recommended with each dish, a focused and rich dessert selection, all enjoyed at your leisure in peace.
