You’ll also find vegetarian restaurants that blend Baltic flavours with global influences, as well as spots offering vegan brunch for relaxed weekend meals. From casual street-style eats to beautifully plated dishes, plant-based food in Riga is varied, fresh, and increasingly easy to enjoy across the city.
