Guidebook for Rīga
Food Scene
This is just such an unexpected gem. It's not a neighbourhood that many tourists would visit but if you're looking for a spot of nature in the city, then start with brunch at Bulka and then walk or cycle along the nearby trail along Mārupīte river.

Go for the food pallet option which means you can choose two items from the menu and they come served in smaller sizes. Great for people who can't make up their minds and get food envy! And so beautifully served.
