Whitehouse

I had a wonderful experience at this restaurant. The food was exceptionally refined, with every dish beautifully crafted and full of flavor. The presentation was simply stunning—each plate looked like a piece of art. One of the highlights was the view overlooking the park, which added a peaceful and elegant touch to the evening. The service was equally impressive. The staff were highly professional, attentive without being intrusive, and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout our visit. If I had to mention one minor drawback, it would be the atmosphere of the dining room—it could be a bit cozier. However, this didn’t take away from the overall experience, which was truly memorable. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time celebrating my five year anniversary with my partner. The food was delicious and the waiter on point - she was so helpful and kind. I had the steak and my partner had the salmon - expertly presented and cooked. The fire alarm did go off, which is why I deducted an ‘atmosphere’ star - it was quickly sorted though, so five stars overall!

My recent visit to Whitehouse in Riga was an absolute pleasure, but the true star of the evening was an unforgettable dessert. ​I had the opportunity to try a new chocolate creation that can only be described as a state-of-the-art masterpiece + calamansi+strawberry ( could not stop untill tried them all !). This was more than just a dessert; it was a symphony of textures and deep, rich cocoa flavors. Each element was perfectly balanced, creating a decadent experience that was both incredibly satisfying and elegantly refined. ​The genius behind this creation is Dessert Sous-Chef, Liza. Her passion and skill are evident in every single bite. She has truly produced a work of art that elevates the entire dining experience. ​If you are looking for an exceptional culinary highlight, you must visit and try Liza's new chocolate dessert. It is an absolute triumph!

Beyond dining: the art of flavors, the poetry of presentation Cocktails From the very first moment, the service set the tone for the evening. Our waitress, sensing we weren’t in the mood for alcohol, gracefully offered a selection of non-alcoholic cocktails. The one we chose was a delight — fresh, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. Appetizers and starters The evening began with a charming chef’s compliment — a delicate roll presented on a bed of nitrogen stones, the mist swirling around it like a scene from a culinary performance. It was both visually stunning and delicious, instantly creating a wonderful first impression. Our first course featured golden potato croquettes paired with an caviar sauce — an unexpected yet harmonious pairing. This was followed by tender eggplant layered with creamy goat cheese, finished with a delicate crispness. Each bite felt thoughtfully composed, like a brushstroke in a culinary painting. Desserts Before dessert, an enchanting touch arrived at our table: a vase with a single orchid, adorned with two tiny candies. As they melted, they released playful bursts of flavor that popped delightfully in the mouth — a whimsical prelude to the sweet courses. Next came the chocolate dessert — elegant and nicely balanced in sweetness. The grand finale was a strawberry creation of remarkable artistry — ice cream at its base, a cloud-like strawberry texture, rhubarb and strawberry purée, all concealed beneath a delicate meringue dome. It was a masterpiece of textures, flavors, and presentation. Atmosphere and overall Impression We dined on the terrace, overlooking a peaceful park, surrounded by the warmth of a summer evening and impeccable service. Summary This is not a place one visits simply to eat. It is a celebration of taste, an exhibition of plating artistry, and a testament to the skill of both the kitchen and the pastry team. A truly deserving Michelin recommendation. Recommended

Our repeated visits to this restaurant have always been a pleasure. The high-quality food and service consistently meet Michelin Guide expectations, complemented by a warm and inviting atmosphere. We particularly appreciated the thoughtful chef's compliments, a delightful bonus that enhances the dining experience. As a family, we also found the restaurant to be very accommodating to children. Its location within Vermanes Garden offers a beautiful and central setting in the heart of Riga. While the pricing is perhaps not the lowest, it aligns with the average for this caliber of dining, making the price-to-performance ratio a respectable four stars.

Located in a park, nice quiet place. There is a summer terrace. Liked it, the service was friendly, the serving was good, dishes were decent and looked nice. Non disturbing peaceful live piano music. A good choice of cocktails. I had a warm starter, main dish, salad, cocktail and latvian beer. Can praise the scallops and duck chest. I was full. Left a tip 20 EUR, service charge not included, the waiter was thankful. Prices are adequate for such place, for a proper full meal target about at 100 EUR per person. Cuisine is however conservative, not innovative.

I had dinner at Whitehouse in Riga and it really lived up to the Michelin mention in many ways. The kitchen even surprised us with a few extra small tasting plates, which turned out to be some of the best bites of the evening – full of flavour and beautifully presented. From the menu we had the chef’s specials (pasta with cheese sauce & truffles) & focaccia with truffle butter as starters. As for the mains we had the beef fillet with fries, Faroe Islands salmon with fries and ended it with the chocolate dessert. Everything looked and tasted great. The only thing I would have wished for was a more tender cut of beef fillet – it was nice, but at this level I expected a little more quality from that dish. What really made the evening though was the service. Krista, our main waitress, was simply outstanding. I have been to some amazing Michelin-starred restaurants in Monaco, Dubai, and Milan, yet Krista’s service level exceeded even those. She had the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth, checking in at exactly the right times, explaining dishes with knowledge and passion, and making sure the whole flow of the evening felt effortless. She goes above and beyond in a way that makes you feel looked after, not just served. Krista is the kind of person any restaurant would dream of having on their team. I also had a short interaction with Matilda, who was equally great. She came across as attentive and genuine, and I have no doubt she will do very well in hospitality if she continues on this path. Whitehouse is absolutely worth visiting if you are in Riga. The food is creative and well executed, the extras from the kitchen add a nice touch, and the service – thanks to Krista – takes the whole experience to another level.

Beautiful, tasty, healthy and filling experience. Also great staff. we really enjoyed starters with stracciatella, shrimp and main with salmon.
