Zivju lete
Latvia
At a glance
Zivju lete is a seafood bar on Dzirnavu iela in central Riga, Latvia, built around fresh fish and shellfish. Its character combines a lively coastal feel with an open kitchen, where the seafood counter forms the visual and culinary centre of the venue.
The menu focuses on seafood prepared in both familiar and regional styles. It includes raw and marinated preparations, oysters, mussels, seafood soups and salads, as well as cooked dishes such as fish and chips, seafood stews, pasta, risotto and grilled fish. Shellfish and other seafood can also be selected for shared preparations, giving diners a chance to build a meal around different textures and flavours.
Alongside the seafood, the menu includes salads, vegetables, potatoes, fries and desserts. This creates some flexibility for mixed groups, while the restaurant remains clearly focused on marine ingredients rather than broad international dining. Traditional favourites sit alongside more specialised choices, including octopus, prawns, tuna, salmon and other fish.
The drinks list is designed to match the food, with wines from several European and overseas regions, sparkling wines, craft beer, cider, cocktails and coffee. The selection includes both recognisable international labels and Latvian-made drinks. Cocktails add a more informal bar element, while the wine range supports a longer seafood meal or a simple glass with oysters and fish.
Zivju lete suits diners looking for a dedicated seafood setting, whether for a casual meal, shared shellfish or a more leisurely dinner. The open-kitchen layout gives the space an active restaurant-bar quality, and the combination of fresh products, classic dishes and crafted drinks makes it suitable for seafood-focused occasions in central Riga.
