Traditionally, Latvian Cuisine has been influenced by German food and the cuisine of Russia and the former Soviet republics such as Armenia and Georgia. Latvian Cuisine offers good, hearty, no-nonsense food usually provided for in huge, tasty portions. There is no finer example of decent Latvian food than the LIDO Restaurant chain, with its most famous Riga restaurant housed in the largest log cabin in northern Europe.
But, in an increasingly globalised world, Riga's restaurants now offer food and dining options that cover all four corners of the world's cuisine. While new influences in Riga's restaurants include Japanese Sushi and Turkish Kebabs, the newly acquired culinary tastes of Latvians returning from years spent living and working in countries like Ireland, Spain and the United Kingdom have also added to the culinary cooking pot of food now on offer in the Riga dining scene.
Indeed, due to the cosmopolitan nature of Riga, the Latvian capital now offers a wider variety of dining options in its Riga restaurants than many other major European cities.
We have put together a fully up-to-date restaurant directory with reviews and information about the very best restaurants and take away joints in Riga. Just click above on the type of cuisine that takes your culinary fancy... and begin your journey into the exciting world of Riga's restaurants.
The range and quality of Hotels in Belgrade has vastly improved during the past decade. If you are searching for a hotel in Belgrade then you should have no problem finding one that suits your pocket, tastes or desired location.
Accommodation in Belgrade varies from the basic cheap-but-cheerful river boat hotel, boasting a superb location but rather basic on the amenities, to top of the range five star offerings, such as the luxurious Hyatt Regency, that attract top business people, touring pop stars and the local elite on a daily basis.
Some of the older 3-star Belgrade hotels have changed little since the time of Tito, but these are the places where you will truly experience the 'warts and all, keeping it real' vibe that so epitomises the Serbian capital.
As well as the Hyatt Regency, Belgrade's best hotels include the super plush Crystaland the classy Villa Jelena. Other top class Belgrade Hotels tend to be located a few kilometres outside the city centre, with the best of these including Zlatnik and the palatial sounding President.
Hoteli u Belgradu - as they are known in the Serbian language - used to have a rather poor reputation in the 1990s, but as Belgrade Tourism has begun to take off, and the city re-establishes itself as a regional cultural and business centre, competition in the hotel sector has greatly improved. There are, for example, at least 20 accommodation options that can be classed as upmarket Belgrade hotels. Amongst their number are several recognisable international hotel brands including the Holiday Inn Belgradeand two hotels belonging to Best Western, while others deserving mention includeMajestic, Europa and the centrally located Balkan Hotel.
Decent mid-range Belgrade hotels with good central locations include the Park Hoteland Kasina. Neither is exactly luxurious, but both are clean, close to all the main tourist sites and have a certain Serbian charm.
If budget hotels are your thing then consider overnighting in Belgrade at The Bristol,BG City Hotel, or the 80-year-old Prag.
We can also offer you hotels close to Belgrade Airport if you have flights to Belgrade arriving very late at night or departing at the crack of dawn. Remember, however, that we are here to ensure that you get the very best out of your time in Belgrade and also offer inbound and outbound airport transfers, should you wish to base yourself in and around the city centre for the entirity of your stay.
