A polished quiet centre sparkler from Riga’s award-winning trendset crew (Catch, Snatch, Cafe Mimosa, Boo Burger) this place walks in with confidence and a little swagger. It’s the only Vietnamese cuisine restaurant in Latvia, riffing on French Indochina heritage but serving it with a modern, Riga-cool twist. Inside, it’s all smooth wood panels, low lighting, and design flexes like Daumiller, Africa, S34 furniture, plus that soft glow from Studio Haos. Chef Sergey Shiporov keeps things fresh, herby, and crisp, the kind of flavors that wake up your whole palate without trying too hard. Green papaya salad pops, Nem Ha Noi spring rolls crunch just right, and then the pho lands: on the base of slow-3-days-cooked broth, deep, rich, authentic. Load it up with wagyu, chicken, brisket, or tofu, sip on champagne or a slick Asian-style cocktail, maybe finish with that Saigon coffee hit: condensed milk and egg yolk, don’t question it, just go with it. Street soul with a fine-dining glow-up, and yeah… some bites hit so good you might start side-eyeing what you had in Vietnam.
