Blue Cow

Blue Cow (Zilā Govs) 

Blue Cow is a tavern-style restaurant located in a historic building on Līvu Square in Riga’s Old Town. Named after the rare Latvian Blue cow, one of Europe’s rarest breeds with a distinctive bluish-gray coat found only in Latvia, the restaurant celebrates local heritage through its cuisine and setting. The venue features exposed brick walls, wooden ceiling beams, and wrought-iron lanterns across two levels, connected by stairs. Stone archways and aged plaster walls preserve the building’s medieval character.

The restaurant serves modern Latvian cuisine, with an emphasis on beef, steaks, and seafood, prepared with locally sourced ingredients from Baltic-region producers and farmers. The menu combines traditional Latvian flavors with contemporary preparation methods.
