Surprise - Restaurant Cafe on West Bank close to Hotel Maritim - PAPAGAILIS

Living on the West Bank (par daugava) Riga Latvia, for the past five years, I thought we had found all the cafes & restaurants in the area of Hotel Maritim Park. But to my SURPRISE, tonight my wife and I had a wonderful treat at the Parrot's Cafe or PAPAGAILIS KAFEJNICA in Latvian language.

The menu looked pretty much like a standard Latvian cafe with chicken fillet and all.

BUT, and its a very big but, is the quality of the food arriving at the table. Some of the tastiest food I have had in Latvia and for certain the best in the city limits of Riga!

Wonderful food, simply delicious cakes, quick service and reasonable prices - a real value for sure. Riga Rooster Rating "5"

A little hard (but not impossible) to find on a side street off Slokas & Normantu streets, it is definately worth the time looking for it.

Situated at Meza Street (iela) 4a directly across from the Riga Technical University building and sort of diaginally across the street from a large Russian Church which can't be missed with its blue colored dome on top.

See link for map location: 4a Meza iela

By Public Transport, take Tram 4 or 5 to Nometņu Street stop (1 tram stop North of Hotel Maritim). Walk East one long block to Meza Street, turn righ and walk one block to the end of the street. The Cafe is the last door on the right. The church is straight ahead and the technical University is on the left side of the street.

It is also walking distance close to OK Hotel on Slokas iela and Hotel Maritim.
