If that isn’t enough, tantalizing gourmet cooking can be enjoyed in the Fish Restaurant courtesy of executive chef Alex Ziluks, an alumnus of Vincents, the most renowned restaurant in the Baltics. The seasonal menus combine delicious regional delicacies with mouthwatering international specialties, using masterfully prepared Latvian seafood and natural garden produce of local farmers, complimented by an extensive wine selection to satisfy even the most discerning of palates. During the day immaculate cocktails, fresh fruit juice and salads are served on the hotel’s rooftop terrace, which transforms into a trendy city bar at night, offering refreshing beverages and tasty snacks.
