Gongu Restaurant

At Gongu, it’s all about rhythm – where Japanese finesse meets Latin heat and everything just clicks. Chef Evgeny Pesin calls it Izakaya Nikkei plus Pepper Melon Bee’s Knees, Creamy Punch Star, and Gongu Punch – proof that good things come in unexpected flavours.

Our choice: Riga’s new talk-of-the-town venue offers plenty of great choices from original cocktails (we’d go for Samurai Sip from the bar list) to wine world classics (how about Collardot’s Puligny-Montrachet?) and a yet undiscovered array of Latvian (yes, you heard that right!) wine gems.
