Sveiks, Svejk in Riga: photos, reviews

About

The restaurant "Sveiks, Svejk" is located just a couple of stops away from the central part of the Latvian capital, settling on the famous Stabu street. Here, one can dine for mere pennies, which is quite atypical for this district of Riga, while savoring dishes from the national Czech cuisine.

The Czech restaurant "Sveiks, Svejk" interiorly resembles an old tavern with its low ceilings, rough stone masonry, and bulky wooden furniture, which seems to be carved out of a solid log. Instead of a traditional chandelier illuminating the specially dimmed hall, there hangs a huge wheel taken off a wagon. It's as if two eras have merged in the restaurant - genuinely vintage items easily blend with a new plasma TV on the wall and paintings by contemporary artists. The most popular dish at Sveiks, Svejk is the pork knuckle and braised cabbage.

Lots of not-Czech food. Czech dishes are weird (not bad, mind you) if you know their Czech counterparts, but overall were pretty tasty. The beer is good - can’t go wrong with good old Pilsner Urquell - but the pour could be a bit better - still the service was very good and we enjoyed a nice lunch. Cheers from the Czech Republic! (Maybe work on your “hladinka” a bit)
