Traditionally, Latvian Cuisine has been influenced by German food and the cuisine of Russia and the former Soviet republics such as Armenia and Georgia.  Latvian Cuisine offers good, hearty, no-nonsense food usually provided for in huge, tasty portions. There is no finer example of decent Latvian food than the LIDO Restaurant chain, with its most famous Riga restaurant housed in the largest log cabin in northern Europe.

But, in an increasingly globalised world, Riga's restaurants now offer food and dining options that cover all four corners of the world's cuisine. While new influences in Riga's restaurants include Japanese Sushi and Turkish Kebabs, the newly acquired culinary tastes of Latvians returning from years spent living and working in countries like Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom have also added to the culinary cooking pot of food now on offer in the Riga dining scene.

Indeed, due to the cosmopolitan nature of Riga, the Latvian capital now offers a wider variety of dining options in its Riga restaurants than many other major European cities.
