Riga's food section runs on 2 curated guides. The restaurants guide holds 12 verified entries. The cafes guide holds another 12. Both reached our per-guide cap, so there were enough strong candidates in Riga to fill each list of 12 without padding. The 2-guide split is an editorial choice. Restaurants and cafes pull in different directions in Riga, and each earned its own full roster of 12.
Open Riga's restaurants guide when you're planning dinner. Turn to the cafes guide when your Riga mornings or afternoons are the priority. 12 entries in each means neither list runs thin across a multi-day trip. You'll likely use both guides, and the 2 lists don't overlap much. Read them together before you go, so you can match the right 12 picks to the right part of your day.
