Pipars — Restaurant in Sigulda

Guys at the counter were really nice, the bazar overall atmosphere is also fine. The problem was the food.

Meat in burgers, very chewy, overcooked, patties not formed and neither a smash patty. Rest of the topping like from ussr burger, massive cucumbers, tomatoes, hard cheese that doesnt fit burgers well and the overall combination more reassembled trying to eat a salad inside bread plus some beef and topped off with a ketchup.

Mcdonalds puts ketchup in some of their burgers but its a whole different combination. Cant just dump load of sour ketchup in and call it a burger sauce.

Burgers also not manageable, its one of key aspects of a burger, it has to be manageable, here its just load of everything with no form, idea of ingredient combinations or taste.

I think the team could make great burgers but place needs a chef who develops recipes. Otherwise...

We took the smashburgers, took only 10 minutes to make both our meals. We didn't have any expectations other than the little pain from paying 30€ for two meals. When the meal arrived, I have to say personally i haven't had such a good burger in probably a good few years. The first few bites were amazing. Real, tasty beef in the patties. The fries were also good, my partner disagrees partially because of the sauces, but I think overall an above average meal...

Visited this grill bar in July. Service was really great, staff members were polite and friendly. Our food was made relatively quickly, everything was well cooked and exceeded my expectations. Salad was fresh and chicken well cooked but not dry. Spot on! Portions are proper size and budget friendly for what you are getting. The atmosphere was good, not too loud or crowded. We enjoyed everything and chatted without shouting...
