Well, this quite a pleasant little restaurant/bathhouse/guest house hybrid. I was told it's been here for 4 months at the time of writing, but had no Google maps representation till now. We tried the restaurant portion and were suitably impressed with it. Huge portions, solid taste and quite affordable as well. It seems to have most of the usual fare of a Latvian roadside restaurant - pork chop, fillets, couple of types of soup. In our case taking two soups and a main dish was more than enough for two people. Being cash only lowers the rating slightly, as do the sticky tables (wipe them better, guys) and uninspired interior. But otherwise it was a very pleasant experience, will visit again for sure.

What a lovely place. We stopped randomly as needed to change & feed a baby. Friendly staff and order came in no time. The food was delicious and the place is peaceful right next to the pond. Definitely would recommend
