36. line Grill Restaurant, a popular venue in Jūrmala, has been included in the international Michelin Guide to restaurants.

Ensconced in pine forests, Jūrmala is the sea resort capital of Latvia with the longest beach and the most beautiful wooden architecture in the country.

Beachside locations don’t come much better than this, as you can walk straight in off the sand. Those after some respite from the sun can stay inside, while those wanting to feel the sea breeze should head for the glass-fronted terrace. The accessible menu covers all options, from lighter sushi and tartares to dumplings and hearty grilled fish and meat dishes. The tiramisu laced with the famous Black Balsam – their national drink – is a must-try, and the extensive selection of wines and cocktails is perfect for watching the sun go down.

Why gourmets see the Michelin Guide as an authority

For many years, the Michelin Guide to restaurants has been one of the most recognised sources to look for gastrotourism destinations. This year’s guide features 26 restaurants in Latvia.

A trademark feature of the guide is that its international reviewers come to the restaurant incognito and pay for their meals as regular customers. The assessment focuses on various details: the quality of the ingredients, the professional skill of the chefs, the flavours, the head chef’s personal style, the mood and the service culture.
