Panorama Restaurant Bar - Riga

Nice and quiet. View is probably nicer on summer time when there’s more light in the evenings.

Nice service, pleasant place for dinner. Great view to old town and river.

Huge variety of foods and drinks. A lot of seating.

This restaurant is located at Radisson Daugava Hotel. Radisson Rewards members get 10-15% off the food, not drinks. On Friday evening, only the bar was open for dining. There was only one waiter doing everything but he was very effective and attentive. My partner liked his beef carpaccio. My pizza was just average. There was a too-thick layer of rubbery cheese on it.

Restaurant Panorama is located in hotel Radisson Blu Daugava and has some nice views over the river of Riga. Restaurant itself is on the ground floor (you will also have breakfast there if you stay in the hotel) and I really would take the name of Panorama with a grain of salt. I went to have dinner there and first thing I noticed was that it was quite dim there (except far back you had more light). There were few people there and I sat on a quite nice and convenient sofa chair. As I was not very hungry I decided to stick with two courses and I am happy I did that. Partly because of the prices and partly because of the food itself. I started with Salmon tartar. Dish itself looked nice but it was hardly seasoned. Luckily there were salt and pepper mills on the table to tune it, but even that helped only so so. Overall 5/10 Main course was chicken curry. I expected nice and tender chicken with lots of spices but I was disappointed once more. Chicken was overcooked and there were practically no spices in a curry! Again I had to tune it myself as much as possible. I even go to the length of saying that it was worse out of two and it was 15 €!! 3/10 from me. Service was OK, nothing special and nothing to complaint 6/10. Atmosphere itself well it was too dark there and place itself would need some renovations 5/10. Problem is that when you stay at Radisson Blu Daugava you have practically few options to dine. Either take a taxi to the old town or eat at Panorama there is nothing really close to walk by. To summarize Panorama will get 4/10 for food, 5/10 for atmosphere and 6/10 for service, giving it a mere 15/10 overall. I would usually sum it up to be 3 star overall review but I just can`t do it as food was really poor and pricey! P.S. There is also a cake area, but I did only see few cakes to choose from.
