Matställen i Jurmala

 

Jurmala's dining scene has greatly improved with the opening of an Indian bistro and an Italian pizzeria and it is much cheaper then Riga. Hundreds of street cafés line Jomas iela, the main street connecting the districts of Majori and Dzintari. In summer they are rivalling with deafening disco music.

Haizivs un bullis (Shark and Bull)

 

 Bulduri, Bulduru prosp. 31, tel. (+371) 776 41 75. Open 12:00 - 24:00. (6 - 7Ls) An amazingly original upmarket restaurant with driftwood for chandeliers, Native American dream catchers hanging from the fireplaces and sharks' jaws and pictures of unfortunate matadors on the walls. Excellent steaks, both bovine and marine!

Juras Zakis (The Sea Rabbit)

 

 Bulduri, Vienibas prosp. 1, tel. (+371) 775 30 05. Open 12:00 - 24:00. (3 - 5Ls) A cosy beachside restaurant with a boat hanging over the bar and fishing nets dangling from the ceiling. Tasty Baltic cuisine and, of course, local fish dishes. One of Jurmala's most popular hangouts.

Orients & Orients - Sultans

 

 Jomas 86; Jomas 33, tel. (+371) 776 44 73. Open 09:00 - 23:00. (3 - 5Ls) Not unlike their sister restaurant Orients in Riga, these places serve Caucasian and Russian dishes, as well as seafood. Watch them grill your shashlik while you wait.
"The new Orients is a great improvement on the original one. Plenty of seating upstairs if it looks too crowded - unless, of course, someone's hired upstairs for a party. A good range of (mostly Georgian) wines, which you can try by the glass. The service is fast and friendly - still something of a rarity outside the top places in Riga. Highly recommended."
Roy Cochrane, mainly in the UK, but often in Riga.
