The concept of an open kitchen is sometimes poetically referred to as the emergence of the culinary dance into the open. Nowadays, the open kitchen philosophy has become something of a trend that involves an increasing number of restaurants around the world. Why? Because modern gourmets are not only demanding, but curious people - they like to watch their meal being "born" in a splendid show by famous chefs.
Which of Riga's most interesting open kitchen restaurants create a special atmosphere for their customers, transporting them to a delicious world of flavours and aromas? The TOP 5 open kitchen restaurants are presented by the Live Riga Foundation.
