Latvian food was amazing!! It was great tasting all the different traditional plates of Latvia and as you can see Riga is such a beautiful city, specially during the winter! Enjoy the vlog!! I'll post a vlog talking about my general experience in the city of Riga soon, so stay tuned! ❄️

Thank you Fonsi for exploring my country's cuisine, I love seeing foreigners do that ❤ I know our food it's not for everyone, and yes, it indeed is intended to make you warm and prepared for the harsh and cold weather that we often have here in Latvia. Also our food is mostly comfort food as well, that's the way that I would describe it in a nutshell.

@fonsiabroad 2 года назад

I have to give them another chance next time I visit Latvia or Poland! Apple sauce sounds like a perfect accompaniment. The rest of the food was incredible👏

You must visit not Riga, but real Latvia far away from capital. In Riga prices are crazy and comfort level is not so high.

I was pleasantly surprised about the food when i visited Latvia. Really delicous hearty food! I tried a dish in Jūrmala in a small wooden house/restaurant. I don't remember the name of the dish but i was a ceramic pot with lamb, potatoes, vegetables and different spices in it. Maybe also cheese? Is there anyone knowing the name of it? It was served with black bread.

@juns82jk 2 года назад

Name should be Stew in a clay pot

@fonsiabroad 2 года назад

Yes, food in Latvia is such a hidden gem. Fantastic cuisine that feels very authentic and perfect for the cold weather 🙌

@Crimson19977 Месяц назад

It sounds like you ate one of the stew's that we usually serve in a clay pot here in Latvia - that way it tastes the best.

@liesmazarina7578 2 года назад

I just checked the menu of Province - it's quite expensive! 12euro for one portion of Pelmeņi?! There was one restaurant where you could similar or even bigger portion for 5eur! But unfortunately they closed some time ago... Also potatoe pancakes for 9 euro are super expensive for regular Latvian. But I'm very glad you enjoyed Latvian food!

@hedaheda1609 2 дня назад

I think these are the prices of restaurants in Riga? Riga is a relatively expensive city. Without a doubt, the prices of food (including traditional food) in roadside taverns/pubs/bistros and smaller restaurants outside the capital are more democratic.

Actually dumplings is not typical Latvian food

@fonsiabroad 2 года назад

Yes, I was told it's not something that's specific to the area but more of an influence from the Polish / Russian.

@hedaheda1609 2 дня назад

Latvian cuisine has been greatly enriched by neighboring and not only neighboring nations. Caucasian shashlik has become our traditional Midsummer meal! The cuisine of the Slavic peoples, the German cuisine, and recently also the cuisines of more distant nations have always inspired Latvian cooks and housewives to try something new and experiment. Dumpling-type dishes are widely experienced in Slavic, Caucasian and Central Asian cuisine, and Italian ravioli are also well known. My granny, an Ukrainian, always made sweet dumplings (vareniki) with berries - blueberries or cherries in the summer, and served them with sour or sweet cream.
