Vegetarian food and restaurants in Latvia

Hello,

Are there any vegetarian restaurants in Latvia? is bio food available in latvian supermarkets?

Best regards,

I'm not sure about famous vegetarian restaurants (which would, I mean, be purely 'vegetarian'), but in the Lido restaurants, I guess, you can have completely vegetarian dinner, combined from salads, spaghetti, potatoes and so on. As in any other national cuisine restaurant, too.

Bio food is quite rare happening in our markets by now. First of all, nobody really knows what is about, as people are not opposed to trust anybody a lot of now. So that's not the good marketing strategy to make some food "good" and some food "bad" because it's not bio. However I've seen some times, that we have kind if bio-food present, but I think there are no specific markets on that topic. You can find just a few of rare examples of such food in regular markets.

Maybe in the bigger supermarkets you could find some meat-replacements. Outside of Riga that will get more difficult ...

It would be interesting to learn about this for me too.
(as far as I know, Latvians are more into eating meat)

I have seen lots of BIO and ECO food in Latvian shops.

Here's the quick list of vegetarian possibilities (not all restaurants are purely vegan but you can find lots of vegan dishes in there):

Paldies! I'll check everything on the list next time I get to Riga or one of the other places.

Do anyone now some great resuarants in riga?

Pal, open your eyes. The full list is above you. These are not just for vegans.

For those wanting to enjoy cereal and so very vegetarian "kashas", Riga now has an exotic place for this, called Kasha Gourmet and located in Riga at Stabu, 41. Kashas of buckwheat, rise, pearl barley, couscous, and so on... quite enjoyable place, and specially to mention is that a chief-cooker, Denis Ivankov, experienced in Manchester. It's not quite vegan-only restaurant as the other kind of meals also are presented, incl. menus for kids. Hopefully you will enjoy it!
