Dining & Drinks
Terminal restaurants, lounge buffets and quick bites for transit travellers.
Latvian Local Cuisine
Riga Airport offers travellers a taste of authentic Latvian flavours, with dishes like grey peas with bacon, rye bread, and smoked fish reflecting the country's hearty Baltic culinary heritage. Look out for spots serving traditional Latvian soups and open-faced sandwiches before your flight. It's a genuine opportunity to sample the food culture of the Baltic region without leaving the terminal.
Baltic Coffee Culture
Latvia has a growing speciality coffee scene, and Riga Airport reflects this with several cafés offering quality espresso-based drinks alongside freshly baked pastries and Latvian-style sweet breads. Travellers connecting through RIX will find comfortable café spaces ideal for a relaxed stop between flights. Local rye-based baked goods and cinnamon rolls are popular accompaniments to your morning brew.
Quick Transit Dining
For passengers on tight connections at Riga International Airport, a range of fast-casual counters and grab-and-go options are available throughout the terminal. These outlets cater to the busy transit traffic passing through RIX as a regional hub connecting the Baltics to major European cities. Expect wraps, sandwiches, and light snacks that can be taken straight to the gate.
Sit-Down Restaurant Dining
Riga Airport's sit-down restaurants provide a more leisurely dining experience for travellers with time to spare, often featuring Baltic and European menu staples in a relaxed setting. Traditional Latvian soups such as skābeņu zupa (sorrel soup) or hearty borscht can sometimes be found alongside international favourites. These venues are well-suited for travellers arriving early or those seeking a proper meal before a longer haul flight.
