Michelin Guide-listed Stage22 Bar & Restaurant presents a reimagined Asian fusion menu curated  by Björn Juhnke, Food & Beverage Director, and his internationally experienced team.

The menu guarantees freshness with clean, straightforward ingredients. It blends contemporary creativity with the timeless Japanese philosophy of Omotenashi — the spirit of wholehearted hospitality and the anticipation of guests’ needs. Available for both lunch and dinner, the menu is served at the signature Grand Hotel Kempinski Riga rooftop.
Stage22 Bar & Restaurant introduces an alternative to the standard three-course dining menu. Most of the dishes are designed to be shared, allowing guests to combine dishes to create their own bespoke dining journey. A handful of creations, however, are considered ‘Too Good to Share’. The product-driven menu features several exceptional highlights, such as authentic Japanese wagyu beef, Icelandic sea urchin nigiri, hand-dived scallops from the Norwegian coast and open-fire kushiyaki skewers.

“At Stage22 we want our guests to feel not only indulged, but genuinely cared for,” says Juhnke. “By embracing Omotenashi, we move beyond exquisite cuisine and drink — every detail, from presentation to service, is designed to create a sense of harmony and unforgettable moments. Anticipating our guests’ desires lies at the core of the philosophy and truly resonates with our culinary approach, ensuring each visit is seamless and truly unique.”
The culinary offering is complemented by a newly-curated wine list, guided by the philosophy ‘pair by mood —  not food.’ Guests are encouraged to explore vintages and varieties guided not by conventional pairing rules, but by the emotions and atmosphere they wish to embrace. Whether feeling ‘hot & exhausted’ and in search of something refreshing, ‘romantic & sexy’ and drawn to something passionate, or ‘bold & adventurous’ and seeking something daring, the wine list offers your perfect match.

Recognised as a lifestyle destination, Stage22 Bar & Restaurant has garnered several prestigious accolades, including Latvia's Best Hotel Restaurant 2024 and a distinguished feature for Japanese cuisine in the 2025 Michelin Guide. The rooftop terrace is located in the heart of Riga and offers breath-taking views of the city and National Opera House.
