Barents

We at Barents take great pride in our Nordic origins and invite every guest to celebrate these with us by devouring the freshest, most exquisite produce from the Nordic region – from excellent cold-water seafood to local and seasonal ingredients sourced from small-scale farmers and independent fishermen.

We receive our lobsters, langoustines, sea urchins, oysters, and other sea delicacies freshly caught, ensuring the highest degree of freshness. Governed by Head Chef Ivans Šmigarevs and Creative Chef Dzintars Kristovskis, Barents’ internationally renowned kitchen team strives to bring out the pure flavors of each ingredient by developing complex dishes that excite all five senses.

Our award-winning sommeliers will guide you in finding harmonious accompaniments to your meal. Barents’ carefully curated wine list is an ode to grower champagnes, including Egly-Ouriet, Vazart-Coquart & Fils, and Tarlant, as well as to cool climate wines. Personable service ensures that every visit to the restaurant is a festive experience, elevated by an elegant, minimalist interior and the scenic location of Riga’s Old Town.

To round off the evening, the adjoining Cocktail & Seafood Bar serves perfectly shaken and stirred cocktails – from mixology classics to signature recipes.

Barents – the place to celebrate life!

Subtle elegance and a steady glance out to sea give Barents Cocktail & Seafood Bar its old-world European charm.

Chef's table

Sizzling food, fast-cutting knives, and clouds of steam rising from pots and pans, while the team of chefs work in a hasty harmony – all elements come together in a symphony of fine cuisine. There are just six front-row seats to this chef-orchestrated show, set in front of the 2000-year-old black oak counter, the only thing separating you from the open kitchen and its maestro, Head Chef Ivans Šmigarevs. Ivan’s jocular personality is an intrinsic part of the experience.
