The Beginnings Veselīgas Ēšanas Restorāns

Amazing restaurant! The food is not only healthy, but super delicious! They also provide nutrition information and offer a variety of gluten free, lactose free and vegan options. The takeout works just fine without compromising the quality or taste. The staff is super helpful and kind. I also recommend getting their all natural cookies, chips, granola or snack bars from the shop.

Good idea, however poor execution... In places like this customers are often trying to avoid different products (like lentils, garlic or others). When we asked to prepare the dish without beans and lentils, staff rolled her eyes and took the order... just to bring the dish with beans... No attempt to satisfy client even in case of staff fault... Recipe of same dishes varied every day (3 times)... Hope the owner will find this feedback valuable.

This was my first time trying the beyond burger. I thought it was great, if I didn't know it was vegan I wouldn't have questioned it. A great alternative to meat. This restaurant was really good, with a nice atmosphere and great staff. I would recommend.

Perfect for vegans or fitness enthusiasts. The menus literally shows the macronutrient content contained within each dish. I wish all restaurants did this as it would make keeping track of calorie sources so much easier. The food is fresh and the smoothies are refreshing. The staff are very kind and well mannered. The prices are also very reasonable.

I was completely blown away by this place! I loved the atmosphere in there, the staff was super friendly and immediately switched to English without a problem and showed us the English menu naturally, we didn't even have to ask for it. (By the way, I think it's really cool that there is nutritional info on your website! Knowing the calories, macros and iron/fiber/omega3 is really helpful for someone who wants to eat as healthy as possible. The food arrived really quickly and everything was freshly made and tasted amazing. I had the strawberry gazpacho and the red curry rice noodles, which I actually tried because I've never heard of a strawberry/tomato combination. It blew my mind, I loved it! My boyfriend had the falafel burger if I remember correctly, and a berry smoothie which we sadly didn't take a photo of. Must have also been freshly made, it was great, too! To take it even further they had lots of snack/protein bars, cookies, even supplements like spirulina or even chia protein and much more. I didn't buy anything there, but I had one of their bars at the airport the morning after, because they sold them there. I'm really happy that I found out that they have an online shop haha! I know, this all sounds too good to be true but in my case there is truly nothing negative I could say. This place has won my heart and stomach and when I come back to Riga one day y'all know where to find me at lunch time!
