Parlez-vous cholesterol? Expat Bernard Larane's French bakery brings kilos of buttery pastries to Riga, including the closest thing to a Parisian pain au chocolat this side of the Baltic. Fresh bread, homemade croissants, macarons, quiches, strong coffee and fresh-squeezed orange juice also make this boulangerie a favourite retreat. Local and foreign press (not to mention beer) is also available and outside seating can be enjoyed in the summer.
