Barents in Riga is permanently closed. This profile is retained as a historical record of the former restaurant at Smilšu iela 3. Latvian restaurant-sector reporting said Barents restaurant and bar would close on January 31, 2026, and Google Places lists Barents CLOSED_PERMANENTLY. The old website still contains hours, so it should not be used as current operating proof.
