Smilšu iela 3, Rīga, Vecrīga

Exclusive opportunity in the heart of Riga’s Old Town – Michelin-recognized restaurant premises for lease
Located at Smilšu Street 3, right between Dome Square and Livu Square, the renowned Barents restaurant space is now available for rent.
This is a truly unique offering with no real alternatives in Riga — neither in terms of prime location nor exceptional quality. The premises are in perfect condition and ready for a new concept to open its doors immediately.
Highlights include:
• Sophisticated high-end interior design with refined atmosphere
• Professional Marrone kitchen equipment
• Stunning bar counter crafted from 100-year-old black oak salvaged from the depths of the Daugava River — a genuine historical treasure
• Open kitchen on one side, elegantly separated by glass and a wine cabinet on the other
• Temperature-controlled wine cellar
• Spacious outdoor terrace (available for lease from the Riga city council)
• Multiple restrooms for guests and staff
• Separate drainage line for the grease trap, plus ventilation chimney above the roof
• Full compliance with accessibility standards
• Additional basement space available for technical needs, staff facilities or storage
The commercial premises are divided into two independent sections:
• Main restaurant with a prominent corner entrance from Dome Square
• Separate bar with its own entrance from Livu Square / Maza Smilsu Street
Movable property — dining and kitchen furniture — is available at an additional cost and not included in the base rent.
If you are looking for a prestigious, turnkey location for a new fine dining restaurant, upscale bar, exclusive concept or special events in the very heart of Vecrīga (Old Riga) — this is a rare opportunity that may not come again.
