Riga hits yet another level of exquisite with a gem of a restaurant. Housed in the 1910 Art Nouveau treasure, Barents interior is a handwork of leading design bureau 'Krassky'. Hand-made bar counter is made from 2000 y.o. black-oak, piano wood tangles with brass and stone, bringing you an amazing posh and classy eco-minimal Art Deco. The head-chef Ivans Šmigarevs, worked in Michelin star-graced establishments: Alinea /USA/, Maaemo /Norway/, Noma /Denmark/, ensures that your finest, sea-fresh Nordic fish and seafood is comme il faut (the way it should be) ensuring the best preparation for the fragile products. Try the three experiences: a la carte (including also five or seven-course Tasting Menu), seafood bar and chef's table. Everything gets prepared in front of your eyes on their open kitchen. Their sommelier Kaspars Reitups is enhancing your bouqet with the niche wines from Germany, Austria, Burgundy and Champagne denominations. Also expert vegetarian and meat dishes.
