Cafe Somersēta is located on Somersētas street in Aglona town, the region of Latgale in Latvia. We discovered this place by a chance shortly before visiting the famous catholic cathedral in Aglona.

Well, we visited this place at the start of August 2022, I wonder what happens in the offseason. Anyhow, this place serves traditional Latvian / Latgalian cuisine for a…

Bīne restaurant is located in Talsi, on Krišjāņa Valdemāra street 13, close to the Hotel Talsi.

Restaurant Bīne serves typical Latvian cuisine for very affordable prices. Actually, this place is more a bistro than a restaurant (food is heated in the micro oven).

Cafe/bar/ bakery Dukāts is located in Dubulti, Jūrmala close to the Dubulti church.  During 2018 we lived for a while next to the Dukāts and visited this place quite often to have a bistro style dinner or buying some delicious cake from the bakery.  Compared to the other restaurants in Jūrmala, Dukāts has one of the lowest prices.
