We came to Riga to celebrate a relative's birthday and chose this restaurant based on the reviews on tripadvisor. As a party of eight we were the only guests on the restaurant the whole evening except for a man dining alone. As a result we got all the attention from the professional staff! The food was delicious. Extra points for... More

We used to visit this place an year ago, but the quality dramatically dropped. More frozen ingredients, less taste, less fantasy and they hired one horrible waitress. Design doesnt save much anymore... I cant guess when we will be back.

New Year's Eve was a perfect evening. The seven courses menue was perfect and a bit different. This restaurant has a very skilled chef and very serviceminded waitors. The live music entertainment was performed by excellent musicians. An evening to remember.

First, the bread: different types home made, warm and all excellent. The food: high quality. The wines: good choice at... More

Very beautiful restaurant and very professional waiter. However his colleague waitress was very impolite. Nice desserts, but completely failed maincourse. How is that possible in a restaurant like this to serve fish of such bad quality??! It was full of water, which means it was frozen several times. Couldnt eat it. It was only us and a group of germans,... More

This was our second visit to the place. The atmosphere is nice and the food is tasty, but both times one of us got an upset stomach. Be carefull

Yeap this was the title I could select after a careful though. Desiderata is the last venue I have visited during my 4 nights trip. You may say what have you done 4 days in Riga, yeas it was more than enough but enjoyed every minute of it. Coming back to Desiderate it is really a nicely decorated basement restaurant... More

Desiderata is an amazing experience. The prices are moderate, but the service, food and ambiance are amazing. To start the bread basket was the best I have ever experienced. The service was 5 star without being overbearing. The food was perfectly prepared and served. The restaurant is below the Royal Square Hotel in a room that shows its history, but... More
