Riga - Post Report Question and Answers
How would you describe the availability and cost of groceries and household supplies relative to your home country?
It's the EU, everything is available. Pretty much every product you can think of, even specialty items like Mexican chilis or real maple syrup can be found. Every food allergy is catered for, and the quantity and quality of gluten-free items is pretty impressive. The Riga Central Market is a great place for fresh produce and meats, and is not particularly expensive. - Mar 2022
