Valmiera Restaurant Week

Valmiera is organizing Valmiera restaurant week to preserve and popularize the gastronomic traditions and the wide variety of local cuisine in Latvia. We would like to encourage use of local products and to promote the Gauja National Park as a tourism destination. We are proud to show to ourselves and others how rich and unique we are showcasing varied menus in 5 the best restaurants in Valmiera area during Valmiera restaurant week. In 2017 the Riga - Gauja region is bearing the titel of European Region of Gastronomy, and it also includes Valmiera.

The nature in Latvia is not only beautiful, but also tasty. Every plate served in each season has its own colours, flavours and set of vitamins. We are close to the nature and it is something special in Latvia. It is hard to find a forest in which during autumn you will not come across young and old mushroom " detectives", able to notice a mushroom hiding under the colorful leaves. In summer we gather flowers and, yes, also weeds to turn then into tasty tea or even natural medicine for the harsh winter time. Now during Valmiera restaurant week you can soak these colors and tastes in varied menus.
