Highly recommended, I had the starter of mackerel, main of venison and honey cake dessert and all were fantastic. I also tried my partners and couldn’t fault a single dish. We had some excellent wine pairing and the bartender obliged us with a request for Irish coffees, which he just so happened to have judged competitions for, and it showed! Bravo 👏

Have been here several times in last years never disappointed. Food is high quality and service in polite and welcoming. One of top restaurants in Latvia. Recently they increased price, so price/performance dropped a bit, but still on good level.

We chose this place after hearing about its Michelin status and went for a Sunday breakfast with friends.

Regarding the food:

I was served a burnt potato waffle, hard and charred. I couldn’t eat it, and it left a bitter aftertaste. When I mentioned this to the waitress, she said it wasn’t her responsibility but rather the kitchen’s. I asked to speak with a manager, but she replied that no one was available as it was their day off and offered no help.

Service was severely lacking:

There were only two staff members managing the entire service. One girl was making drinks, and they forgot to bring the glass of prosecco I had ordered. After reminding them, they finally brought it out—but it was warm.

The double espresso I ordered came as an americano in a large mug.

There were additional service issues as well: no salt or pepper was brought to the table, the check took a long time to arrive, and the wait for food was unusually long.

As for the food quality, it was equally disappointing. The bacon toast was on soggy bread, and the syrniki were tasteless.

We spent two hours on breakfast (still amazed by our patience), with no apologies or acknowledgment of the poor experience.

One of the most amazing restaurants experiences in Riga in quite a while! We visited in time of Restaurant week  but if chef puts so many effort in the dish during this time, it means the regular dishes will be even more fantastic.
Amuse-bouche - never thought that rye bread, strawberry and pate can be such tasty combination! But the star was the meat - incredibly soft deer meat with delicious sauces (three different!!!) - just left us speechless.
Special thanks to our waiter Kiril, who felt our mood so nicely and added whole stories to dish servings, meanwhile never forgetting about us and filling in the glasses and bringing food on time.
MUST visit in Riga

In a world where Michelins are becoming way overpriced in some countries (U.S., Italy, Nordic countries in particular), you have to love that places like John are offering economical multi-course menus. At John, the lunch is 45 euros for 3 courses, including water (another crazy overpriced thing in Michelins) and coffee.

John is not quite Michelin level, but it seems to make an attempt at that status. Overall, I enjoyed my meal, though the salad appetizer was very lacking (in terms of taste, ingredients, and presentation), and the dessert also was a bit lacking in sweetness. The risotto main was the best part of the meal. I want to say John could improve quality and add more substantive ingredients (perhaps a fish or meat as part of the main), but that might impede on the 45 euro price point, so I'm happy with what I had.
