A long-established Ventspils restaurant in the old town — the name means "Black Piglet" — serving traditional Latvian cooking in a brick-vaulted cellar. The menu runs to grey peas with bacon, smoked pork hocks, stewed sauerkraut, grilled fish, and rye-bread soup with whipped cream and dried fruit (a classic Latvian dessert that everyone should try once).
Friendly service, generous portions, moderate prices. A good introduction to Latvian cooking for visitors who have not eaten it before.
