Salve Restaurant

Salve is a traditional Latvian restaurant located in the historic Blue Guard House, part of the House of Blackheads complex on Town Hall Square in Old Riga. The venue features two distinct dining rooms: an elegant main dining area with Dutch-style interior and a traditional rustic room with antique furnishings. The restaurant focuses on authentic Latvian cuisine with seasonal menu rotations.

The restaurant operates from a historic building in the pedestrian-only Old Town, offering both indoor dining across two rooms and outdoor terrace seating during warmer months. Salve also offers Latvian liqueur tasting experiences featuring Riga Black Balsam and other local spirits.
