Restaurant week returns to Latvian castles and manors from 11 to 22 November

The Latvian Castles and Manors Association is holding a restaurant week at castles and manor houses from Wednesday, 11 November, to 22 November. It coincides with Latvia's national holiday week, and the chefs have built their menus on centuries-old culinary traditions and historical recipes, using both local and imported produce.

• Mālpils Manor

Igate Castle and Gatarta Manor will also host a festive brunch on 18 November, Latvia's Independence Day.

Prices and booking

Not every venue has published prices in advance. At Mālpils Manor a three-course menu costs €42 per person during the week; the manor also offers evening packages for two with an overnight stay at €180 and €240. The Mālpils restaurant is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays, open from 12:00 to 20:00 on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and until 22:00 on Fridays and Saturdays. Booking a table early is advised, as castle and manor restaurants have limited seating.
