Black Magic
Righa Black Magic Bar
A very cool place with a decor that will remind you of Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings. Very atmospheric. Perhaps the best place to try different types of black balsam, with flights and tastings here, lots of flavors to choose from. All of it is reasonably priced for the experience, and there are also chocolates and other delicacies for sale.

LIDO Alus Seta
Literally Beer Yard. Serves huge portions of excellent meat and two veg from a grill at the front of the tavern, as well as an excellent choice of beer. Probably the best value place in town, with two courses easily costing less than €7.

Steiku Haoss
As is evident from the name, the restaurant focuses on steaks. There are steaks of every kind of beef cut imaginable, and the price depends on the cut. The quality of the steaks is pretty much close to the best in Riga. The meat is tender, juicy and extremely tasty. Note however that by ordering a steak, you only get the actual meat. Side dishes, such as potatoes, cost extra, as do sauces. Combining all these, you can easily run up to €50 per a single meal. But it's worth trying at least once.
