Meat Chef

This place is a true paradise for steak lovers. Every steak is cooked to perfection: juicy, rich, and full of character. You can taste the mastery in every bite. What truly sets this place apart is their Steak Masterclass. Every Wednesday they host public masterclasses, and they also offer private sessions starting from 6 people. In 2–3 hours, you don’t just eat — you learn. You dive into cuts, temperatures, techniques, and the art behind a perfect steak. The experience is interactive, educational, and genuinely inspiring. Prices range around €90–115, which feels more than fair for the depth of knowledge, premium ingredients, and the overall experience you receive. It’s not just a dinner — it’s a journey into steak culture. If you appreciate quality, craftsmanship, and experiences that leave you richer than before, this place is an absolute must. I came for the steak, and got my self to the Masterclas — I’ll definitely come back for much more. Special thanks to Valdis , very professional service .

Food was delish, some might say bussin. Shoutout Andrew Chapple for paying for my food, without him, I would be across the street at Kebab House. I had the craft burger, which was hefty and tasteful, along with the Uruguay Flank, Black Ingus steak which I enjoyed, and the sweet potato fries (the sauce for the fries was incredible). Good portions for their price as well.

Scam place — avoid at all costs This is an extremely tourist-oriented place where locals never go. Everything here exists solely to scam tourists. The staff show a very strange, unprofessional, and openly political attitude. They clearly understand Russian but refuse to speak it on principle — which already says enough about their approach to hospitality. We visited on a Friday evening. The restaurant was empty, and the few “guests” sitting inside looked like they were placed there just for show. Only two employees were working, and calling them waiters would be an exaggeration — they knew nothing about the dishes, more like plate carriers than service staff. We ordered meat, which turned out to be poorly cooked, low quality, and overpriced. Service was equally bad. The funniest — and most telling — part was the bill. They tried to cheat us. The wine was supposed to cost €30, but they charged €38, clearly hoping the customer wouldn’t notice. I’m attaching both receipts — before and after — so it’s clear that this place deliberately scams tourists. No locals ever come here. On top of that, they seem to sort customers by nationality, which is bizarre and unacceptable in any restaurant. Avoid this place at all costs.

Overall quite good steak restaurant! Affordable prices! Service could be improved, relatively slow and not very welcoming!

Never before have I experienced such majesty than while partaking of the most exquisite steak Riga has to offer here at Meat Chef. If I hadn't known any better, I would have assumed I was dining in the courts of heaven themselves. It is good👍🏾

The meat was good but... Here's why I only will give it a three star. When ordering there was no questions about if we wanted fries or any sides to the dish. When bringing the food to the table to brought out one dish first and went to wait on others before bringing the last two plates, despite them all being ready at the same time. When they started to clean the table they never asked if we were finished and ended up taking away food we were still eating. And when telling the staff upon payment the same thing happened again.. in the middle of our payment the waitress went to attend someone else.

Great steaks! Had Paraguay ribeye, cooked to perfection. Service could have been better, the waitress did not seem too happy to be serving. Overall atmosphere was nice.

Good food: enjoyed the tartare, octopus, edamame, and grilled green peppers. The burger was juicy but drowned in ketchup. Sadly, the staff was disappointing — inattentive and disorganized, had to repeat requests multiple times. Solid 3 out of 5. P/s And you respond to the review, about the same as the service without looking, were you an hour ago, it says review time:))))) good luck to you
