Gubernators
Restorāns «Gubernators»
A long-established restaurant in a brick-vaulted cellar in the city centre, decorated with samovars and vintage objects. Homemade beer and hearty pork dishes at good value.
Gubernators is set in a brick-vaulted underground cellar at Lāčplēša iela 10, decorated with samovars, old coins, photographs, elk heads and other vintage objects. It is one of Daugavpils' best-known restaurants and ranks first in the city on TripAdvisor by number of reviews. The menu centres on Eastern European and Caucasian flavours: signature mustard-baked pork, Gubernators pork ribs, pork chop with Brie, solyanka and mushroom soup, served with the house Gubernators beers (light, unfiltered and dark), and also cherry beer. Weekday lunch from 11:00 to 13:00 is inexpensive. Portions are generous and prices reasonable, though a few diners have criticised the food quality. Expect to spend about €12–20 per person.
Opening hours
Daily, roughly 11:00–23:00 (later on Fridays and Saturdays)
