Biblioteka No 1 in Riga, Latvia | A Swanky Champagne Sunday Brunch Buffet

Vērmane Gardens is one of the prettiest public parks in the Baltics States, and is located in the center of Riga, Latvia. It was one of my favorite places in the city, and it made for a day of relaxing strolls, a canal boat ride, and plenty of people watching while eating my bag of Laima sweets.

Within this gorgeous tree studded park there lies a two story windowed structure, and behind those windows is Biblioteka No 1. On the Sunday morning that I was strolling through the gardens, I had spotted Biblioteka and thought that I should check it out after my morning walk.

I had no idea that this posh and tasteful restaurant was offering a Champagne Sunday Brunch Buffet. I had just walked right into it- Thank you intuition and thank you Universe!

Reservations are recommended, and I learned that when I had checked myself into this swanky restaurant. All of the seating inside the outdoor shaded patio were reserved, but there was plenty of pleasant seating inside. I was offered a seat on a plush green tufted chair at a table with a lovely window view. This was the beginning of something beautiful.

I have resided in Las Vegas since 2010, and if there is something that I have learned, it is the art of a great buffet and Sunday brunch. Although Las Vegas is known for their mega buffets, that does not mean they are all of good quality.

I have found that a great buffet does not mean an enormous amount of average tasting food, but it is comprised of a nice selection of good food made well. Those are few and far between in Vegas, but not so much in Riga. Biblioteka No 1 puts on an impressive and gourmet champagne brunch, that I still think about today.

As far as upscale brunch buffets go, Biblioteka No 1 created a well thought out one. Their main table offered a selection of light bites such as hors d’oeuvre, canapes, fresh vegetable salads, and antipasto. I enjoy little bites of food, and I typically like to just taste different dishes. This buffet style gave me the opportunity to create several tasting plates of small well-made bites.

Enjoy the bountiful Sunday Brunch buffet spread of Biblioteka No 1 in Riga!

– Champagne Brunch Buffet –

Piper-Heidsieck Champagne

I was not seated for more than a few minutes when an attentive and friendly server was pouring me a glass of Piper-Heidsieck Champagne. He was so quick that I could not take a photo of the brilliant pour, just the inspiring red and gold label. Biblioteka No 1 had certainly impressed me by offering Piper-Heidsieck Champagne, as it used to be a favorite of the late Marilyn Monroe.
