The story
Max Cekot Kitchen is a fine dining restaurant at Jelgavas iela 42 in Riga, awarded one Michelin Star in 2026 for high quality cooking. The same year, the We're Smart Green Guide gave it 4 Radishes.
Dinner here is a 15-course tasting menu. Twelve tables fill the dining room, and a full evening at one of them runs about three hours. From these tables guests can watch the chefs at work, so the kitchen is part of the room rather than hidden behind it.
Four seats at a shared community table face the kitchen directly. Chef Max Cekot's attention is closest here, and diners can talk with the cooks as they plate. Only the original tasting menu is served at this table, with no vegetarian, gluten-free or lactose-free versions.
