Rix Asparagoose - Marupe

One of two places in rix, where vegan options are available. the menu offers vegetable milk (soja, hafer, mandel) as option to hot drinks (coffee or chai,) hot vegan drinks, suppe, smoothies and buddha darm. in reality I have a choice of buddha and only one (of three) vegan hot drink (chai,) had to pay extra for vegetable milk (vegan latte). found a vegan cream suppe some days later, but first attempt was bad (marked for this day, but mad with blowing and bad smell, changed). the service could improve.

Was amazingly surprised. there we found a bowl with brown rice, green peas, brokkoli and tofu. was very good and healthy to be better, could be more spiced. paid 7,80€ per dish. also Quinoa chips (favour sour cream). was expensive (about 4€, but at the airport was and we could not do anything, we had a long trip ahead. they also sell a vegan wrap, vegan sweets bars, freshly made juices, smoothies, chia pudding, vegan yogurt and other desserts, like the chocolate cake I bought (also expensive, around 4€, but it was really delicious! they also have another cake, it seems to be nuts and a mango cream raw. I recommend it was a very good option as it was an airport.

I think the prices are high, but I would say it is quite common on the airports to pay a little more for eating. they have a few vegan options, including brown reissalat and veggie wrap. both nice, but needed some extra salt. I would say it is great to have a vegan option at the airport!

Could choose from jerusal artichoke soup, a pack, an salat, smoothies, chia cream and snackbars, which were clearly identifiable as vegan, plus a few Buddha-shots that could have been vegan (only written in the local language). smoothie was made fresh and tasted good, but not very large for the price. water served only in small, quite expensive plastic bottles. beautifully decorated.

Great to have some vegan options at Riga airport. They have many pre-packaged snacks to take with you on the plane or enjoy while waiting. A wide range of things to choose from.
