Max Cekot Kitchen
Riga, Latvia




∗1 Star
The Experience
From Michelin Guide
Max Cekot’s restaurant is a surprisingly sophisticated place considering its location in a red-brick former warehouse on the edge of the city. Your evening starts downstairs with drinks and amuse bouches, before you head up the narrow spiral staircase for dinner, where Max has designed everything from scratch, from the furniture to the crockery. Numerous elements make up each of the original dishes on the surprise menu, with sweet, savoury and acidic flavours all balancing one another, and delicious sauces bringing each dish together perfectly. Max finishes some of these dishes tableside, where home-grown ingredients are often featured.
