Centrālais Gastro Tirgus

Maskavas Forštate, Avotu Iela & Grīziņkalns


Rīga Central Market now has a food court, and it's somewhat upscale. Over 20 stalls cook up fare from around the world, including sushi, pho, pasta, burgers, baked goods and a lot more. Two bars serve inventive cocktails, all in an effort to prove this market is not your parents' market.
