Good local food at the central location. Pig knuckle, pig ears, herring tartar… what else you can ask for? Good service, good beer selection, nice outside seating with good view and reasonable prices. This is definitely not a gourmet restaurant but if you are looking for local food and atmosphere – this is it.

I had the best knockkle pork of my life here!!! Very reasonable price for quality and location, not that expensive. Staffs are really friendly and helpful for choosing the food. But only reservation can sit inside so I was cold while eating since it was rainning and windy that day.

We had reserved a table for 4 people well in advance but when we came to the restaurant it was full. After a long wait for service the waiter finally came and after a while informed us that he could not find our reservation, we asked him to try again to find it as we had booked a week in... More

This restaurant is well situated at the heart of tourist Riga. It serves very good food in large helpings, well presented and at a reasonable price, particularly given its situation. The staff are friendly and attentive. There is absolutely nothing to dislike - if you are touring the old city of Riga you will struggle to do better than eating... More

I can understand positive from people here. When you are on vacation, you have good mood so any food will taste better. Just imagine if this restaurant is in your hometown or if you are into food quality. There is no way you feel the same. I agree with reviewer that mentioned about the quality of latvian food. It's really... More

Six of us stopped here for a very late lunch a few hours before we had to make our way to the airport for the trip home. We sat outside initially (until a thunderstorm let loose and even us stoic Brits had to accept a table indoors), and service was OK though the waiting staff seemed a tad disinterested. We... More

This charming restaurant is super-central and serves traditional latvian food. Prices are affordable (we paid 30 Lats for a 3-course meal, 2 people) and the atmosphere is nice. We really enjoyed our dinner there. The menue is in 4 languages and we had friendly waiters.

The atmosphere of the restaurant was extremely touristic, the restaurant was packed with Swedish seniors. The food in Salve was most likely Latvian, unluckily Latvian food is so bad that it is bearly eatable. The wasn't any twist on the menu, and it seems that main chef of the cuisine doesn't have any inspiration to his work.
