Those who are looking for the best Latvian restaurants in Riga will hardly know that there is a high-class restaurant away from Riga's Old Town in a former wood processing factory. The
atmospheric brown-bricked building with over a hundred-year-long history is located in the industrial part of the city. There, chef Max Cekot and his team refurbished the spiral staircase,
planted live pines, and
Max Cekot Kitchen is remarkably different from other Riga restaurants. The interior was specially designed and hand-crafted by local artisans so that every detail would enhance your dining
experience and add to the inimitable atmosphere of the place. Every element of the design has its meaning, from a blue line crossing the wooden chef's table to the bicycle chain holding metal
heat lamps or the lava pattern on the plates. And every dish offered to you by our top-notch chefs is the result of their original ideas and inspiration and can't be found elsewhere.
At Max Cekot Kitchen, we offer our guests a new vision of modern Latvian cuisine. Only three evenings a week, the chef and the team of our Riga restaurant delight the guests with a 10-course seasonal tasting menu that, at their desire, is paired with 6 varieties of specially selected wine or homemade soft drinks. While new dishes appear on the menu once in three weeks, the entire set menu changes once every two months.
During the evening, you have the opportunity to observe how the dishes are being prepared in the open chef's kitchen, as well as to hear the origin story of every dish and every ingredient in it from the chef himself. The unique concept of combining the finest ingredients at their peak, creative ideas for modern Latvian cuisine, and individual attention to each guest will turn your dinner into an unforgettable culinary experience that is nothing but perfect.
At Max Cekot Kitchen, we want to add only the freshest vegetables, herbs, and cresses to our guests' dishes. Therefore, we have a summer garden and indoor glasshouses so that we could
provide the finest ingredients to the kitchen all year round. Together with the experts from the University of Latvia, we experiment and explore how the plants are growing. Thus, we can learn
from nature, come up with new ideas for our set menu and vegetarian recipes, and transfer our philosophy to the plate.

Unrivalled in Riga - always a fabulous experience. Imaginative cooking, considered wine and juice pairing (the flavours in the latter are a revelation), warm and welcoming atmosphere. A great night out.
Великолепно! Это философия, которой пропитано место, кухня и все блюда и атмосфера ресторана. Ничего подобного в Риге нет. Удивительное место с необыкновеноой атмосферой и блюдами, в каждом из которых талант ,душа и философия автора. Макс,спасибо. Ты уникальный человек. Удачи. На пожалейте времени и денег! Получите необычайное удовольствие от блюд и от атмосферы.
An exemplary restaurant in which the second you taste the first dish you just know that the Chef has throughly thought every flavor, mixing contemporary ideas with produce grown locally and in his garden. A must have dinner in Riga without a doubt.
I had a phenomenal experience at this restaurant in mid-August '21, as part of a wedding celebration. I'm allergic to fish/seafood and usually that ends up in some sad haphazard meal where I feel like a child being given carrot sticks while the adults eat well. That was NOT the case here - all my meals were adjusted for my allergies AND the Chef and kitchen went out of their way to make my meals look as close to what the others were experiencing, and just as beautiful (some of my courses sparked real envy among other guests, too)! The chef easily transitioned between speaking Latvian, Russian and English (making jokes in all three languages!) so we all felt welcome and part of the celebration. Do not hesitate to book in here - you will enjoy a memorable meal you, and be treated like a welcome guest! (Only drawback is needing to go up and down spiral stairs to get to the restaurant and the lavatories, so if you have mobility issues, this might be one to miss!)
Фантастическое место, где все продумано до мелочей: начиная с того, как тебя встречают, и того, как тебе подают блюдо. Вкус каждого блюда.... Это невозможно описать словами. Нужно посетить ресторан и почувствовать фанатичную увлеченность и преданность ДЕЛУ, что позволяет Мастеру создавать волшебство для гостей. Спасибо шефу и всей команде за волшебство!
Most probably best restaurant in Latvia by atmosphere, food, interior, attitude, even sound and smell. Could become first place in the country with Michelin stars...
We had a great evening! Loved the flavours of the cousine and the perfect combination of the wine to go with the dishes. Very attentive staff, truely a great experience. Thank you! From an Argentinian and and an Indian living in Norway.
Very refined beautiful winter flavors strung together in beautifully laid out couvers with splendid wines that blend with the dishes as an explosion of taste. A feast for all the senses
Probably the best culinary experience you can have in Riga. Amazing food and impeccable service set in a special location. Do not let the outside fool you as what is going on inside is very impressive.
Celebrated Birthday of my friend at this restourant. Is very modern, unique for Latvia. Open kitchen. Handsome staff )))) Location is in old abandoned factory or something like that. Great service, food just delicious and beautiful, really beautiful. Also in advance i informed restourant about our event,ordered small cake. Chef baked unrealy cute, adorable 3 floor small,tasty cake with the candle, for my friend. Place is a bit pricey, but it worst it for spetial events. Recommend 100%
Amazing experience, i would say, best restaurant in Riga, mane even in Baltics. Thank you for beautiful evening.
An extraordinary experience, the Tasting menu concept is wonderful. Somebody could consider this restaurant as expensive but it worth it
Restaurant was really exceptional. The atmosphere was very relaxing, service was great, food was simply special and some of the 10 meals - unforgettable. Drinks were also carefully selected and some of those I did not know even existed. Really recommended for those who want an evening to remember or want to impress somebody else.
The place is excellent: all starting from the venue and story behind the industrial heritage building to the interior and closed menu of perfect gourman pleasure. Locally (you can see the outdoor sun-tents) grown as well as directly delivered treasures from France etc. Adorable imagination is put into the combinations of many self-made soft drinks - overwhelming with the smell, colour and taste! Special night out. Does not fit for fast dinner plans :)
Ìpasha atmosfèra (simtgadìgs spìkjeris, kas celts kokapstràdei). Katrs restoràna apmeklètàjs kà gaidìts viesis. Profesionàls personàls. Shefpavàra stàsti par vakara gaità izbaudàmà niansèm. Neaizmirstams garshu, kràsu un sajùtu celjojums.
