Stockpot- Riga (Latvia)
A great bistro in an up and coming neighborhood. Stockpot stayed good and inexpensive despite the surrounding changes.
I say yes to this restaurant.

Boulangerie – Liepaja
It's a trendy spot, my local guide thought it was a bit too international hipster, for my part, I had a good breakfast for 7 euros, and it filled me up, but it's true that it's not cheap considering the Latvian standard of living.
It's also a real[...]
Sauna House Cīruļi – Dobele (Latvia)
Some of the pictures were taken on a rainy day (it rained a crazy amount that fall!), so it doesn't really give justice to the bucolic character of the place. It was one of my favorite moments during my stay in Latvia. During "the réunion de travail [...]

Andrejosta – Riga (Latvia)
It's the marina, you go there to go for a stroll by the water, to enjoy the restaurants, clubs, or bars like the hip and snobby Aqua Luna mentioned in the Bars part of the Riga review.
But what's really worth it is to continue down for[...]
Alus Krodzins-Jurmala (Latvia)
A nice little restaurant making traditional food; the main pedestrian street was full of restaurants and cafés, so there were a lot of tourists, hence why we were so happy to find a nice little pub that serves some good beer and good food.[...]
Kemeri National Park (Latvia)
It was established as a national park in 1997 in order to protect its nature, but also for its mineral water springs, as well as its therapeutic mud. It's Latvia's first natural field to have received a European award for sustainable tourism.

Valguma Pausale-Smarde (Latvia)
It's a coup de coeur because I thought that the food was really excellent, which wasn't always the case on this journey when it came to finding average/ fine dining food, but this place is bucolic, and everything stems from there, the bosses are arti[...]
