Vivien brings true French flair to the center of Riga, with zero pretension and plenty of charm. Imagine a bistro, bar, and brasserie rolled into one playful French escape. Celebrity chef Vivien Lebecq serves honest, unfussy classics like Boeuf Bourguignon and Croque Monsieur—comfort food that feels like your French grandma finally opened a wine bar.
As for the wine, the list spans Europe, carefully curated by Latvian wine expert Jānis Kalkis. Expect fantastic bottles at surprisingly friendly prices, plus elegant, laid-back cocktails. The spacious terrace channels Montmartre on holiday, hosting themed nights, live music, book fairs, and enough twinkling lights to tempt even your ex to text you back.
It’s where berets meet beards, and oysters go down smoother than your last Tinder date. The vibe? Paris meets Riga, falls in love, and starts a stylish little revolution. Affordable, delightful, and just a bit tipsy—Vivien is très bon indeed.
