Oak’a burgers is a Latvian speciality burger joint that never lacks praise. I’m yet to meet anyone from Riga who says they enjoy burgers and hasn’t tried Oak. Their speciality – being the smash style burgers – never fails in being both deliciously juicy and booming with flavour.

While most prefer to order out, a sit-down experience at the restaurant should not be slept on. The venue is more than spacious enough to accommodate a hungry group of friends. Menu items are presented to you on a light-up board or by the register, giving ample time and mouth-watering images to choose from. Little secret: they’re all amazing, with the pictures feeling like carbon copies of the food that’s served to you. And don’t forget to try their sauces, made in-house and available for anyone to sample you’ve ordered up some fries with your meal.

So next time you feel like going off the beaten track and find yourself hungry in the Avotu Iela district, don’t miss out on the chance to visit Oak’a Burgers.
