RIGA CULTURAL AGENDA
RIGA THIS WEEK RECOMMENDS
Burkans Restorans (Carrot Restaurant) Latest venue by Riga bar/clubbing father figure, charismatic
Arnis Bikšus. From now, not only perfect cocktails,
artistically made here every day by Arnis himself, but
also seasonal eco-minded meals by promising chef Andris
Rümîtis (member of Pavĺru klubs). The young chef
starts every working day by handpicking the freshest and
best local farmer products from the Central Market. Try
out his special daily changing uber-green ‘market basket’
menu. Or choose from the more than 15 dishes enormous
lunch menu, which, as the owners claim, is also
the fastest! Also offer a smarter a la carte menu. Don’t
forget the fresh juices with vegetables and berries from
local bio farms. Perfect river view by the window and, as
always, completely breezy and carefree vibes!
Woolings Woolings are the absolutely new trend by Latvian designer
Maria Vlasova. Woolings are handmade shoes
from local wool, covered with a water-resistant layer to
make a solid, non-slip sole. Curious, funky designs, light
and comfortable. Order your Woolings right away via
www.woolings.com.
3 Pavaru Restorans (3 Chefs’ Restaurant) Start your gastronomic journey by taking a seat at the
exclusive oval central table, surrounding the open kitchen.
Order a Jackson Pollock-style sauce ‘painting’...

Museum of Riga's History and Navigation
(Rigas Vestures un Kugniecibas muzejs) Founded in 1773,
one of the oldest museums in Europe.
The museum shows how Riga
turned from a small settlement on
the bank of the river Rîdzene into a
big Hanseatic city. The second display
illustrates the history and development
of nautical navigation. You
can take a closer look at the lifestyle
of a typical Riga citizen living during
the times of the First Republic and
see the historical artefacts that have
been excavated in Riga in the last
few years. Admire the Column Hall,
built in 1778 in Classicism style.
EXHIBITIONS:
Until 30.09 Riga Cathedral – 800.
Until 30.10 Aerophotography by
Juris Urtans.
Until 30.11 “Silver Cup—21st
century Renaissance”.
Until 30.12 Antons Buhholcs—
numismatist and collector.
He’s The third Heinrih Erhard’s (Botanica, Cotton) restaurant
is a co-project with Vîna Studija. And again, trendy, small
seasonal menu, where Italian, Mediterranean, French and
local cuisine scents are thrown into the mix, the main
idea is to use the freshest seasonal products and of
course to harmonise it perfectly with the wine. Just ask
the advice of the extremely wine-intelligent staff. Halfopen
plan kitchen, homemade non-alcoholic drinks and
the new add-on: three course White Menu. Simply trust
the chef – fish/meat/vegetarian or vegan, and enjoy the
result of chef today’s inspiration (Ls 8.50).
