RIGA THIS WEEK RECOMMENDS
Fazenda Bazars Grandmas country house in the middle of the city centre,
with a small market with local hand-selected berries, fruits,
vegetables and greens at the entrance. A bit further, an old
recipe-bakery with scrumptious, crunchy little pirgi and
bulcias, as well as weighable local herb teas. And the restaurant
itself? Creative seasonal menu dishes are light and
yummy. Try the set of local cheeses and/or the spinach
and pear salad with monterigo cheese under coriander
sauce. Serves picture-perfect continental breakfast.
Botanica Cafe Simple, democratic, creative and very green. Botanica
has around fi ve meals on the lunch menu (11.00 - 16.00),
which changes every day, and an evening a la carte menu
(16.00 - 23.00). The food is remarkable, as the ingredients
are simple, yet the execution and culinary fi nesse are
truly upscale. Botanicas chef Heinrihs Erhards, who also
worked in several Michelin restaurants in New York and
Paris, orders all ingredients from local farmers, and he
even grows some herbs in a special room, right in the restaurant.
Five kinds of bread are baked daily on the premises.
You are welcome to buy Botanica made jams, berry
drinks and eco honey. Boasts a very elegant terrace.
Park Spa This residential style Spa made in eco-Scandinavian style faces the park greens and offers total relaxation for your body and soul. Head and neck, face massage, back massage, chocolate massage, relaxing four hand synchronized massage, aromatic massage, Thai massage, hot stone massage and many more. (See also Sports & Relaxation: Water Relaxation.)
KIM? (Museum/Gallery) What is art / what is museum? these are two questions, answers to which are most often sought nowhere else, but in museum. Museum seems to be a place that hosts the truth about what is art. However, it usually is the truth of yesterday. It is the old truth, because the answer to question what is museum? Alters as swiftly and unexpectedly as the answer to question what is art?...

exhibition.
