With a view above Riga’s Old Town with striking views of the Daugava River. Inside, antique bricks, hand-painted walls, and a rusty-chic staircase set the tone for a sensory escape. The copper gong, brought from Indonesia, echoes the restaurant’s philosophy: transition from chaos to calm, from noise to nuance. Two sleek open-space bars serve up expertly crafted cocktails, while the terrace is perfect for sunset drinks and deep conversations. Chef Evgeniy Pesin driven dishes focus on balance and depth, resonating like the sound of the gong itself—pure, intentional, unforgettable. Background music adds another layer to the vibe: grounded yet elevated. GONGU isn’t just a restaurant—it’s a mood, a moment, a modern ritual.
