BURZMA — Restaurant in Riga

A Little Hidden Treasure on the 4th Floor of Riga’s Old Town

Burzma isn’t just a food hall, it’s a celebration of taste, style, and that special kind of Riga energy you can’t quite explain, only feel.

Tucked away on the top floor of Galerija Centrs, right in the heart of Old Riga, Burzma is where I always send tourists who can’t decide what they’re craving. Why? Because here, you don’t have to choose. Sushi, tacos, pizza from a real wood-fired oven, khachapuri, cocktails, coffee, and desserts that look like they belong in a museum, it’s all in one beautifully designed, buzzing space.

Whenever I do tours, Burzma is a must-stop on the list. It’s perfect not just for food, but for the whole experience: cozy yet modern interiors, great rooftop views, and events that breathe life into every visit.

But what I especially love is how easy everything feels. Whether you want a good cocktail or just need to grab something from the supermarket downstairs, or even pick up a last-minute Latvian souvenir, you’ve got it all in one place. It’s stylish, welcoming, and always buzzing with a feel-good vibe.

If you’re in Riga and want a taste of everything, quite literally, Burzma is the place to be. It’s where flavors, cultures, and...

Food court with restaurant prices

Food There’s a decent variety food counters. Most of it is classic fast food: pizza, bao buns, fries. There are a few hidden gems for food lovers, but you have to look carefully.

Taste Some dishes are surprisingly tasty — the sushi at Derbruder, for example. Still, if you’re after a proper, lingering meal, this isn’t the spot.

Atmosphere and comfort The food court can get quite crowded, especially during peak hours. Tables are often piled with dirty dishes. The staff tries, but can’t always keep up. It feels more like a place to grab a snack and linger for a bit, rather than a place to relax over a meal.

Service and prices You order by number: wait for the buzzer, then pick up your food. There’s no traditional service. And here’s the twist — prices are just like a restaurant’s.

Who it’s good for Perfect for young people: order something, hang out for a few hours, maybe try another dish, and enjoy the time. Also good for a quick snack before heading off. But for anyone craving calm, high-quality dining, this...

Ginger asian healty food - always was wondering why no ppl ordering there. 1 - It was required 3 people to take my order, the one pressing button, the second running back and forth to clarify if the dish is available, and prob the manager who was answering her question in the background. 2 - 25 minutes later, my wife alredy ate her dish from Bao, drank the drink that we ordered afterwards from a bar, my order was still being prepared. Went to clarify, obviously "it will be in 5 more minutes". It was obvious they just forgot. 3 - recieved my order , to understand that it wasnt what i've ordered. Went back , the only option "we can make a new one". HELL NO im gonna wait another 30 minutes. 4 - food quality wasnt bad , but either wasnt perfect. Egg noodles was suspiciously similar to spaghetti. Sweat-Sour sauce was more like Sour-Sour.
