Rasols
Rasols is a Latvian olivje salad with a multitude of ingredients, and that sums up this bundle of joy in the Art Nouveau district.
A kaleidoscope of rugs, cushions, antiques and art, with Elvis on the turntable and Charlie Chaplin flicks screening on the brick wall, it's a weirdly fitting finale to an hour's gazing at Eisenstein's facades.
The menu is "post-Soviet," meaning eastern European classics given a modern touch, including "Soviet tapas" - try the Hemp butter canape or the Lamprey canape for an offbeat taste of Latvia.
The cute outdoor seating nest is the cherry on top.
