The Latvian capital, the largest city in the Baltics, is a fascinating mixture of proud Latvian tradition and influences of the various countries that have occupied it. Independent once again since 1991, Riga's Art Nouveau center has won it UNESCO World Heritage Site designation.

Authentic dishes from Baltics. Two nations are meeting under one roof asking you to explore what is traditional, unbeatable and real.

Upon entering Milda your ears will start listening to relaxing piano and saxophone music in the background. The ambience is very clean and kept rather modern. The waiters are friendly and professional - automatically offering you the menu in English when you greet them with a hello. The menu mostly offers traditional Latvian dishes as well as some Latvian beers. The prices are quite fair and the portion of my traditional potato dish was rather large and satisfying. We received an appetizer - bread with chicken liver pâté - for free. Milda is worth a visit if you're interested in local cuisine and a relaxing atmosphere while eating.

Fantastic relaxed atmosphere. The food is brilliant, clever with loads of hidden subtle tastes. The restaurant was full and tables fully booked for the night. The staff were really helpful with the chicken main course and Elk burger being highlights. The special ice cream was recommended by the waiter and waitress, and the many beautiful flavours and the presentation was a triumph. The cost was a lot less than we expected, and so therefore we felt we had great value. Very happy to recommend Domini Capes to all.

They truly make dinner an experience and it was something we will never forget! The presentation, the service, and the food is incredible. If you go to Riga, you canât miss this!

...but other than then, it was a pretty 'ok' experience.The food was great, despite the fact the two medium grilled beef fillet' ended up being one medium and one medium red (grill is their speciality) - and this after they were out of the Chateaubriand, which seemed to be a 'show piece' on the menu, more than something they actually have in stock (waitress looked surprised that anyone would order it)? But again, overall a good experience...

On our second visit to this beautiful "old town" city of Riga, we rushed to the restaurant to book a late table after the opera (which is almost opposite) and were again delighted with the ambience, the food, its presentation and the service. The flavours of the food were not spoilt by too much "presentation"; the table settings and cutlery/crockery top-class and there is a lovely view over the park from the enormous windows. Relaxed and replete..what more can one say except that we hope to visit Riga again and the Kolonade will be on the list of to-do.
