About

Primarily a lunch-only vegetarian buffet selling food by weight, this venue has a strong leaning toward vegan dishes, with almost all options vegan except for one or two. Its informal, homestyle atmosphere feels like a cozy local spot with second-hand decor and homemade meals centered around pea and bean-based stews, rice, soups, and fresh salads. Pricing is notably low (€4–5 per plate with drink), making it a popular choice for an affordable, healthy meal on Riga's west side away from the city center.
