Rozengrâls Medieval Restaurant, Riga

About.com Rating fourhalf out of Five

By Kerry Kubilius, About.com

This medieval restaurant takes diners back to the year 1293, where they can experience authentic cuisine from centuries past. A great novelty restaurant for a unique evening out!

Food

Visitors to Latvia will get a kick out of dining at Rozengrâls. The menu is a fun mixture of food and history. Eat the same barley cakes that King Phlip I ate every Sunday in the 11th century. Or maybe you prefer to try rabbit meat with prunes and and cedar nuts, a dish served at Isabella of Bavaria's wedding feast in the 14th century. The most modern items on the menu appear to be coffee and fruit juices. Overall, the menu appears well-researched as well as appealing to modern tastebuds.

Atmosphere

The staff is dressed in medieval costume--peasants, court jesters, and noblemen and -women will make diners' experiences interesting. The cellers in which the restaurant is located were mentioned in writing as early as the year 1293, and they were once used for special events by Riga's town hall. By candlelight, guests will be served generous portions of food, entertained with the music of the evening, and maybe have a run-in with a chain-mail-clad knight or two.
