Taste Riga - Visite privée de la saveur lettone
Description
Une visite privée à travers les goûts et les saveurs des Lettons. Au fil des siècles, les Lettons ont absorbé les traditions et les cuisines de toutes les cultures qui ont régné sur ces terres - Allemands, Suédois, Russes - et après tout, même l'Union soviétique avait sa propre façon de cuisiner. Peut-être à cause du goût, mais probablement à cause de la nécessité, les Lettons ont acquis leur propre goût pour les choses et cette tournée est tout cela. Nous nous promènerons d'abord dans le marché central et goûterons aux produits de saison disponibles (environ 10 types différents d'aliments/boissons), puis nous passerons à une "cafétéria" de style post-soviétique où vous pourrez profiter d'un bon repas d'aliments traditionnels lettons. Donc, si vous choisissez de réserver cette visite, venez affamé :) Gardez à l'esprit - nous mangeons principalement des produits de saison, donc les aliments peuvent varier considérablement d'une visite à l'autre, donc les images ci-jointes ne sont qu'un examen

Itinéraire
C'est l'un des très rares bazars principaux des villes européennes qui fonctionne encore comme un véritable marché d'épicerie au lieu d'être converti en un piège à touristes vendant des souvenirs. Ici, vous pouvez avoir un aperçu de ce que les habitants achètent réellement. Vous explorerez le monde de la cuisine lettone en dégustant quelques plats traditionnels selon la saison et, si vous les aimez, en achetant des articles à rapporter chez vous. Vous entendrez des histoires sur comment et pourquoi le plus grand marché d'Europe à l'époque (et toujours) a été construit, et comment il a réussi à survivre à la marche autrement victorieuse des chaînes de supermarchés. Vous aurez également un aperçu des habitudes alimentaires locales. Vous pourrez profiter d'un bon repas maison letton à plusieurs plats accompagné d'une cuisine traditionnelle dans un cadre post-soviétique.

Wow, what an experience! If you want to enjoy and taste Latvia, do this tour!! Our tour guide Harijs was just fantastic! He explained us the whole story about the market, the delicious food and also other stories about Riga/Latvia. His explained it in a funny way that makes it very interesting! We loved listening to him! We could taste a lot of different local food and he explained everything about it. Finaly we had a great Latvian lunch! We highly recommend this tour for everyone who loves to taste the local food of Latvia!
Our guide, Harrisy, was amazing. He checked in with us prior to the tour to be sure we knew what to tell the cab driver. Very thoughtful. Interesting stories. Wonderful food. Very generous samples. We thoroughly enjoyed this tour and would recommend it very highly, particularly with this guide (whose name I am sure I misspelled.
Harijs was such a lovely tour guide! Not only did he show us some traditional Latvian food at the market but the knowledge behind everything was amazing, nice to know why some food is popular and how it came about. I would definitely recommend this tour, and definitely recommend to try everything! My favourite is still the pie!
The highlight of our trip by far. Harijs was so lovely and informative for the whole tour. Not only explaining the food we were eating and seeing but also telling us about Riga and Latvia as a whole. The market is very interesting to see and the food was all lovely and different. We done this on our last day at Riga but I would recommend doing this day 1 as the information we got from this tour was better than the walking tour we had done around the city of Riga for understanding the culture and the people.
Harijs is one of the best, if not the best, guides I’ve ever come across. He is a very intelligent, polite and friendly person. He has extensive knowledge on culture and history (and not limited to local history). His speech is very informative but as well entertaining. We were a private group and he adjusted the program to our needs. Though it must have been difficult to take a group to a place like the central market where everybody wants to wonder around and see the things they want to which definitely slows down a program, I haven’t noticed the slightest sign of impatience on him. It was a very comprehensive tour on Latvian food, history and everyday life of locals. Though most of these tours are carefully advertised as the amount of food is equal to a light lunch, on this tour we ended up with a full stomach. I can’t even count how many things we sampled and ate. All in all, I highly recommend any of his tours, you won’t be disappointed. It wouldn’t be nice to say something about guides in Riga since I don’t know any other than him but on the basis of my plenty of experiences in different countries I do believe that he is the best choice in Riga. I hope we’ll have the chance to go on a tour with him again. Ps: ‘honest tours’ might sound strange but what I understood is that he is really honest on a way that he wouldn’t recommend anything like places or merchandise that he himself didn’t go to or didn’t buy. His priority is your experience and he avoids tourist traps.
