Kļavas Lapa — Restaurant in Riga

Wonderful and quaint restaurant at the train station. For my first few trips to latvia I thought this was a small lido. The really lido is above at the mall. The food here is very good and they always had cabbage rolls. To my wife s chagrin, my missions in life when I go with her to visit her mother is for cabbage rolls and lido after mom in that order. Lido has wonderful rotating food and due to my luck doesn't always have cabbage rolls. Hence my love for Klavas Lapa. Their food is very good, have never had a complaint and not being latvian I can't get on their authenticity but it has been tasty. Enjoy it as lt is. You pick and choose and if your an American that didn't get trained with learning extra languages like me, just point and they will help figure it out. Price point is great for me at least. ...

Again another disappointing place. 0.40 euros for hot water, seriously? It should be free. A few years ago Klavas Lapa was a great place to grab a tasty bite to eat when we visited the city of Riga before catching a train to Yurmala. Now, Klavas Lapa does not have any worthy dishes to eat. We are fans of cabbage cooked in at Latvian recipe style, the taste now is not as what it used to be in the past. Pork meat cutlets were okay to say the most. Pickeled cucumbers were not fresh nor crispy. Dessers were basic. Variety of food has changed due to the decreased menu. Honestly, the place would benefit with some proper heat to make it cozier, because it is not too warm there. An improvement in the menu is definitely overdue and friendlier...

I found this place quite expensive for what it offers. I ordered just a small bowl of soup, a salad, and kefir, but felt like I majorly overpaid for these basic items. I can't even imagine how much a full meal would cost. I guess you're really paying for that prime location😬

To top it off, the staff wasn't too friendly and looked annoyed the whole time. Overall, not...
