The story
Whitehouse sits at the edge of Vermane Park, on Terbatas iela 2 – a calm, green corner of central Riga that feels a world apart from the city’s busier streets. The restaurant’s name hints at the understated elegance within: a light-filled space with air conditioning and outdoor seating for warm-weather dining. It’s the kind of place where the setting is as deliberate as the cooking.
The kitchen at Whitehouse works within the broad frame of modern cuisine, drawing on seasonal produce and precise techniques. While the menu changes regularly, the approach is consistent: clean flavours, careful plating, and a respect for ingredients that speak for themselves. The restaurant asks guests to notify them at least 24 hours in advance of any allergies or dietary requirements – and notes that they cannot accommodate onion or garlic allergies, which suggests a cooking style that builds layers of flavour from those alliums.
Listed among the restaurant’s tags is an “Interesting Wine List”, and the selection is curated to match the food’s refined character. Whether you’re pairing by the glass or choosing a bottle, the wines are chosen to complement rather than compete.
Whitehouse earned a Michelin Recommended distinction in 2026, a recognition that places it among the notable restaurants in Riga. Michelin’s inspectors praised the consistent quality; for diners, it means a meal that delivers on its promise without pretence.
Reservations are essential, especially for groups of more than six. The restaurant is open for lunch and dinner, and the team can be reached by phone or email. For anyone looking for a thoughtful modern meal in a serene park-side setting, Whitehouse is a solid choice.
