SMOR Modern Bistro

Easiest overall 5⭐️ I have ever given! The food is amazing! Atmosphere 10/10! Waiters were a bit busy, but great company was the key to enjoy the evening! Beetroot tartar is a must try, and schnitzel or outstanding! Best dessert - cheese cake!

Amazing place with exceptional food! You find yourself cozy and comfortable in this modern interior. All dishes are so delicious! The chef is a pure magician to create that miracles on the plate. Local ingredients with some twists. Very nice selection of wines. Service is faultless. Better book a table in advance.

Had the venison patty, young potatoes with chanterelles, tarte, tartare, and the paprika dish — everything was very tasty. Not our first time here, and it’s consistently good. One warning: skip the rhubarb ice cream. It’s extremely sour. Like, really sour.

Great spot in the center of Riga! 🍴 The food is super tasty with a really good choice, and the service is both friendly and professional. The terrace is a nice bonus if you want to sit outside. Big plus – they even serve De Venoge Champagne by the glass 🥂 Not something you find often! If you go, I’d highly recommend trying the schnitzel – absolutely delicious.

This was one of the most memorable meals I’ve had in Riga this summer. Dish ingredient quality was exceptional, each dish had its charm - very elevated but still something homely about each one of them. The highlight of the meal was the green basil stracciatella pasta (pasta au pistou), it was super rich, layered, and beautifully balanced. And satisfying. Honestly, this pasta might me my favorite out of all pastas i have tried in Riga. I’m already planning to return for it again! Also tried the smoked beef bone marrow which I can recommend, and beet tartare was super interesting, surprising and a journey for the taste buds with the nut and beet combo (they go together amazingly, as it turns out) and the service was great, making a table reservation was easy, we were greeted at the door very nicely. Staff was attentive, and knowledgeable.

Exploring the beautiful city of Riga led us to Smor, a restaurant inspired by Nordic cuisine. We enjoyed excellent cocktails and food, a stunning interior, and an amazing atmosphere.

New in the gastronomy scene of Riga, SMOR is elevating certain styles of dishes, such as a Faroe Island salmon tartare, homemade butter and bread (YUM), schnitzel and a delicious beetroot salad. Cocktail bar program is solid and will certainly improve with experience and time. Great wines, and we had superb service with our birthday party. We were a party of 10 guests which is always a great test of plating, service and atmosphere. Thank you for having us.

Delicious flavor combinations and a varied menu that made me want to come back another time and try the things I couldn’t try this time around. I’m eager to see what awaits the place in the future once the kitchen has nailed the presentation etc. The only downsides (which can be overlooked in favor of the food) were the empty seats around us and the slightly abrasive service. I just don’t think the waiter needs to read the total of the bill aloud to the table. And I would love to see the wine list develop as this one seems to be heavily dominated by just one importer. Overall, a delicious experience.
