Jūrmala


Nab a tree-shaded table outside this sleek bar and restaurant with a front that opens up to the pedestrian quarter. The contemporary menu matches the contemporary decor: sandwiches, salads and grilled mains are all good. Breakfast is served until 1pm; there's a good wine list and a kids' menu.
