Café Osiris

This café is an old establishment where legendary friendships and projects have arisen from both intellectual and bohemian conversations among local politicians, artists and entrepreneurs. Café Osiris gives you a strong feeling of Latvia, which re-gained independence in the early nineties. It is a historical spot that has conserved national elements which makes it well worth a visit. At the same time, the menu is classic and exquisite.
Tip: We suggest that you reserve a table for lunch or dinner, as it gets pretty busy!

Innocent Café

The last of the dining spots in Riga to make our top 5 is Innocent Café. This is an absolute favorite among locals for casual business meetings and coffee breaks, offering exquisite food and a warm reception. A friendly smile from the other side of the counter is definitely a daily must-have! Besides, their broad and delicious brunch (offered every day of the week, by the way!) and burgers will make your taste buds very happy. If you are picky when it comes to your daily cup of coffee, this is the place to go. The café is an ambassador of Illy coffee, which is why locals call it 'Illy Café' at times!
