    Pavilions There are five different food pavilions at Riga Central Market dividing meat, vegetable, dairy, fish and gastronomy products.

Having the widest assortment of Latvian food, all products are fresh and natural from Latvian farms for competitive prices with the possibility to bargain.

We recommend to try the taste of: Hemp butter Rye bread Fried lampreys Sauerkraut Kvass Honey Salted and dried mushrooms Outdoor area In the outdoor area you will find stalls and stands with a variety of fruit, vegetables, garden plants and flours as wells as small kiosks selling a wide range of souvenirs, clothes, perfume, knitwear, amber jewelry and many other goods. In few minutes walk from the Central Market you can also find historical warehouses - Spikeri from which only 13 are survived to the present days. ​ Central Gastro Market ​ There is a new section of the market featuring over 20 different caterers and 2 bars with a wide choice of street food, starting from some local Latvian dishes to burgers, pizza, ramen, thai food and other foods.

Fantastically fun with great guides. We had originally booked for a group of eight of us. But given certain circumstances that shrink to five. The guides were very accommodating and made sure we had a blast. Would absolutely recommend this and would do it again.

I loved visiting the central market. The food was great quality and the price was great. It was a great experience overall. One of the buildings had some construction, but other than that it was good.

Touring the City of Riga and we explored all the halls of the Central Market. It is one of the biggest in Europe with meats (beef, chicken), fish, cheeses, breads, desserts, fresh fruits and vegetables, etc. There is a food court with numerous boots serving a wide variety of foods, from local cuisine to Asian. Easy to order and find a table to enjoy a meal. Here both in the evening and afternoon during the week and not crowded. Highly recommended for snacks and travel foods.
