Pet-Friendly Restaurants in Riga

A Riga institution tucked inside the charming Berga Bazārs courtyard in the heart of the Art Nouveau district. Andalūzijas Suns, the name means 'Andalusian Dog', is one of the most genuinely dog-welcoming venues in the city, and has been serving the local expat and creative community for over a decade. The summer terrace in the courtyard is spacious and shaded, a perfect spot for a long lunch with your dog. The menu leans Tex-Mex with good cocktails, local craft beers, and fresh juices. Staff are accustomed to dogs and will bring water without prompting.

Riga's most celebrated craft brewery, Labietis draws on pagan Latvian traditions for its distinctive beers, names like Miežubrālis (Barley Brother) and Urdavins (a forest spirit) reflect the Baltic mythology woven into every brew. The taproom offers 16 rotating taps, a warm industrial interior, and a summer outdoor area that is genuinely welcoming to dogs. With experienced staff who know their beers, this is a destination for serious beer drinkers, and their equally curious dogs. Dogs are common here among the local clientele.

Located in the creative Sporta 2 art quarter on the left bank of the Daugava, Zefīrs is a relaxed all-day café serving pizza, hot dogs, coffee, and local beer. Both the indoor space and the sizeable outdoor terrace are dog-friendly, making it a favourite among locals who bring their dogs after a walk in nearby Uzvaras Park. The neighbourhood feel here, artists, young families, dog owners, makes it one of the most unpretentious and genuinely welcoming spots in Riga for a lazy afternoon.

Named after a beloved Soviet-era cartoon hedgehog (Hedgehog in the Fog), this cosy bar-café is one of Riga's most characterful spots. The name perfectly captures the atmosphere, warm, slightly misty, full of good cheer. Coffee by day, craft beers and natural wines by evening. The terrace fills with regulars and their dogs on fine evenings. Multiple Riga locations exist but this Lāčplēša branch is the most spacious. Staff are explicitly welcoming to dogs and people tend to linger here for hours.
