Barents restaurant

I was having dinner there during the restaurant week. Very good food and tasty combinations to explore goods from the sea. I appreciate the old fashioned way to get a glass of wine instead the modern device they had that prickled your glass. Other than that all good.

This restaurant needs to have their star! Incredible food, incredible service, incredible experience. We had the seafood platter, the trout, and scallops and complimentary oysters. The chefs are personable and go to your table to explain the food. Their sourdough bread and caramelized butter were SO amazing that I went back and special ordered it two days later. They definitely made me feel like a princess. Do not miss out on this experience! One of the members in our party has an intolerance, and the chef personally came over to our table to ensure the safety of our friend. They went above and beyond to cater to us. Also shout out to Katrina for being the best hostess/waitress in Latvia!!

Incredible experience! The food was amazing, the whole tasting menu is well balanced and full of unexpected flavours. The staff made this dinner truly special, they are friendly and experienced. Overall it’s a fine dining experience and 100% worth the price!

Well, where do I begin? Let's start with the welcome, which was lovely. We chose the tasting menu, so we started with champagne and some oysters. Then the tasting menu commenced. Each course was delicious, and was supported by the sommelier explaining his choice to accompany the dish. Each selection worked perfectly. This was an unforgettable experience, completely delicious, made even better by the wonderful staff. I can't recommend Barents enough, you won't be disappointed.

Beautiful people and amazing food!!! Please eat here if you, every single person here is amazing and they will make you feel so special and loved. 🤍🫶

Definitely the most exquisite dining experience in Riga. It would be an understatement to say that Barents actually deserves a Michelin star (or even two). The service is impeccable, the food is top-notch. Definitely recommend the chef’s 12-course testing menu. All the dishes were absolutely unique and inspired by quintessential Latvian flavours and ingredients. Would recommend it to anyone, simply 10/10.

Loved a slightly cold Nordic style of the interior and the menu. Great food tasting experience. The menu changes by seasons

I recently visited Barents Restaurant for their tasting menu experience, Barents Seasons, and it was an impressive, well-rounded evening. The 8-course menu was creative and well-executed, with each dish introduced through thoughtful storytelling that gave real meaning to the flavours on the plate. One standout aspect was the restaurant’s clear commitment to sustainability. They make a real effort to use ingredients fully and minimize waste. Their focus on local and seasonal products made the menu feel fresh and more connected to its surroundings. The sommelier-led wine pairing was another highlight! Well-chosen wines that not only complemented each course beautifully but also came with fascinating background stories about the producers and regions. Overall, Barents offers a refined, sustainable experience with professionalism in both food and service. Well worth it.
