- It's the return of the Big Lew, once again making Jesse look like a Polly Pocket. We explore the real Riga visiting a classic folk club, Latvian brewpub, sublime Japanese ramen house, an unmissable Rigan brunch stop and a Hollywood themed cocktail bar. This film is the full spectrum of Riga, from the down right bizarre to the utterly brilliant.

Thank you so much for watching - please like, subscribe, comment & share with a friend!
Such cool content guys, as a Latvian I was so surprised to discover that these amazing places are right next to me, you really brought my own city to a different perspective to me. Glad u had so much fun there, although being tourists, I think u cached the real feeling of Riga's old town, where usually the most amazing adventures happen!
Ah Zane - what a great comment! Love to hear that you feel we’ve portrayed Riga in a way you find engaging!
Same for me. Riga is actually my native town. I was born in Riga in 1983. In that "Belgian" beer house there were at least some Latvian sorts of beverage as well. I noticed Mežpils (Mežpils in Latvian means forest castle/palace).
Japanese here🍡 FINALLY , Ramen that isn't too fancy and over the top. This looks like what we see in a regular ramen shop in Tokyo. Looks yum!
The highest compliment!! 🙏
Guys you need to visit Riga in a warm summer time. It is so green and lovely vibe. Amazing parks with old trees.
I mean you guys are doing one of THE BEST food travel content on this platform. Good vibes, good food. Dont stop.
Thank you so much!
"Do you want to be a sellout scumbag piece of shit or do you want to be a real g"
Big Lew is such a gem. Love all his episodes.
Big Lew is a wordsmith
Is it just me or do we all all need a side series - the adventures of Big Lew?!
What would you want to see him do first? 😂
@@topjawSome Farm to plate programme where you set him challenges like milking Goats
@@joshg9330 this is a terrible idea, i love it
YESSSSS!!!!! FINALLY PART 2!!! I’m soooo excited!! Can’t wait for more parts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SLAVA LATVIJAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻🇱🇻❤️❤️❤️❤️💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Went to riga last year, i absolutely loved it! Want to come back for sure!
Big Lew knows how it's done. One of the best yet!
He is one of a kind 🙏
Looked like you guys had a great trip! I'm a first gen. American with Latvian parents, and I love seeing the home of my ancestors so well represented! Just a few fyi's, Ala means "cave". The most traditional Latvian food made over here in America is called "piragi", crescent shaped buns filled with ham, bacon, onions and black pepper. If you go back, you should try them (addictive!) By the way, the Russians tried to take away the authentic Latvian dish's identity by calling any meat pie a pirags, but the one I described is the real one. It seems that Latvia and Japan have an interesting synchronicity. I know of a company in Japan, that's called by my name, Maruta. Finally, I was wondering if/how you liked the grey peas? You never said. I would love to see you fellas explore more of the country, someday. Thank you!
@@ViewlessDRH if it meant "beer cellar" it would be written "alus pagrabs"
it's such a shame you guys aren't as popular as you are. So much quality and care clearly go into these. I love your channel xx
Thanks Mia, be sure to subscribe & tell your mates 🙌
Crikey you boys really went for it with this one, not sure how you were able to stand haha Loved how simple it was filmmaking wise! Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication
This vid is awesome, really interesting insight/ perspective on the city. I'm really happy you included Labietis and Katkevich, those are some my the favorites.
Glad we hit two of your faves - hopefully we've given you a few more to add to the list!
I genuinely am baffled how you don’t have over a million subscribers, you are one of my faves! And u visited my hometown Bristol even better 🤣
I'd never had black pudding with a sweet side until LIDO. The cranberry and apple sauce is banging and compliments the heftiness of the black pud perfectly. It's a seasonal dish though usually on the menu from Autumn to Winter for anyone visting you might not see it during the summer months.
Part 2 was worth the wait! Thanks for more recommendations in my town 😁 you guys need to be on TV 👌
Thanks mate - maybe one day! 🤞
FINALLY! PART 2 IS HERE! Such fun 👏🏽
Why is every corner in the Baltic and Scandinavian region something out of a painting?
As the granddaughter of a Riga man I now understand my love of the cold, seafood and the bizarre!
Contrasting the food with the weather was brilliant. Who doesn't like to get into some comfort food when it is gray outside? Rigans must have look like they have it down on the local dishes and the imports. 👍
I'm moved back to Riga after 8 years living in UK. I learn places where to go from them. really educational for me 👍
Been wanting to go to Shōyu after this video came out and finally got to do it..thank you for the recommendation, it was amaaazing!
Jesse sitting on Louis's lap is quite the moment
Wasn’t the first time and won’t be the last…
@@topjaw keep'em comiiing
One of the best video tones ever , loving the filter you use in your videos
Big lew needs to be in every episode
Keep going Lads, you're doing great. I'm always excited for a new episode. Good job!
Thanks mate! We have plenty coming this summer 🙌
“It’s like poppers” lol
Modern day Shakespeare? 😂
Weird this video didnt seem to show up on my subscription feed, happy I found it, great video lads!
Haha it’s always a fun day at the office for TopJaw 🔥
Wow wow wow guys brilliant film and editing. So entertaining!!! My home town ❤
Undoubtedly new favorite YT channel, y'all are killin' it!
Good to see Big Lew back amongst proceedings 🔥
You boys went hard on this one 🍻🍻🍻 the hangovers must have been real! Riga is pretty great.
Brilliant! Great video!
Love it! Keep making!
Yeah👌🏻🎉🎉🎉♥ thank you guys!!! Now I know few new places to visit in my hometown 💃🏻👌🏻♥ at 3 Pavaru restaurant I been celebrating my birthday once 👌🏻🥳🥰
Shouldve gone to a regular cafeteria morning after all those drinks , coulve gotten a meal for 4euro. But you guys did a great job, thank you!
Great video!
Cheers!
Im late again... Big Lew's such a great addition to the episodes hes in love the wit and vibes! Cant wait for the next episode! Where we off to next?
MORE episodes ft. Big Lew please guys. Quality stuff
guys you made laugh! great video!
Love to hear it Jelena! 🙏
Harvester Vibes 😂😂 Top notch as per lads. I love how it get more manic as the night goes on HA!
Manic is a polite way to put it 😂
Riga was a great city. Didn't understand how any of these restaurants could exist when the average salary is ~half that of London's, but the prices are the same
Prices are generally much lower than in London, but yeah - not half!
salary range in riga is all over the place, theres russians in the suburbs making 500 euro a month, tech workers in the center making 5k and everything in between. but yes, most people wouldn' t be able to go out to these kinds of places more than 1 time a month
Casually goes from filming the royal family to real royalty BIG LOU!!!!! ❤❤
Hahahaha Sir Big Lew has a ring to it
nice work!
I live next to a few of these places in the "Quite Center". Thanks for pointing them out!
Zefirs Chrizo pizza is the best in town! And Shoyu def my favorite
2 incredible spots! 👏
You have made my weekend bringing Burger Royalty Big Lew back to TopJaw, more big Lew
Proud 2B Latvian.
hey, im from Riga. i enjoyed this vlog a lot 💣 💣
Thank you so much, glad you enjoyed it! 🙌
We’re off to Riga in late May. So glad these two landed as we’ve had it booked for months. However I cannot see any bar open Sunday Eve???
THE LEGEND- BIG LEW !!!!!!
The grand return!!
6:40 onward…..best part😂
I em happy when you love my country 🤗 🙏 I know it's amazing 😍
"I'm movin hella gingerly this morning" lol
It's a great line 😂
You guys have to get Big Lew in as a regular.. he’s hilarious, honest and a top bloke
Love all of your videos. Hope you come to Canada some day, experience Montreal, Toronto or Vancouver and the extremely different vibes they all have.
One day! 🇨🇦
Hilarious boys,loved it🍻🍜
Thanks!!
I can't believe they eat and drink all those piles of food and pails and ponds of drinks just in 48 hours. It definitely took longer time.
Yesssss
Just a suggestion, you should put up pirces of all dishes as well, so the tourists could see and compare if they would like to visit these places. Born and raised in Latvia, enjoyed the video!
The Boys are back🎉
Great videos, just need to add pricing to the food and drink, gives everyone an idea then of what a weekend away may cost, keep up the good work though, only way is up 👍
Big lew 🐐
Guys when are you coming to ATHENS 😫😫... Like, the city has one of the best lifestyles in Europe, it's top tier. You HAVE to visit!
PLEASE have that guy around more.
We'd have Big Lew around everyday if he let us 😂
@@topjaw probably for the best.
bloke can absolutely put it away
God bless you gorgeous bastards. I’ve always loved the energy between just Will and Jesse but big Lew is an awesome addition 👏👏👏
BIG LEW .....missed u bruv 👊🏼
I hope this video is a cheeky hint you might be heading to Tokyo soon. Would love to see you lads and Lew on the Japanese whiskey in Golden Gai 🕺 🥃 🍱
And you missed place called 'Stargorod', beer brewery. You would love that place. Best beers there... Next time you coming, check that place. :)🍺🍺🍺
Thanks for the rec Valdis - we will just have to come back! 😎
Big Lew not trying the Garlic Bread and Dip - oh Boy big mistake!!!
Ha! Delirium is the best! Belgian monks know their business lol
Pink Elephants everywhere 🐘
so fun
Great content lads, I do recommend going to countries less celebrated outside Europe. Like what is the top jaw in Tanzania? Paraguay? Kazakhstan? Plenty of content celebrating Europe out there.
That sausage from Lido is made from buckwheat and blood - also traditional meal
Is Jesse taking fashion advice from Bear Grylls?
You should try Tallinn, has some really good places
Need more Big Lew tbf! Minimal food on this one huh?
Waiting you in Praha ❤
Why would you drink Belgium beer in Latvia when we have so many beers to choose from??
you should visit The Catch for the best sushi and sashimi experience ;)
On the list for next time! 📝
When is Oslo on your menu? Good place to visit during summer, great vibe and even better food
We'd looooove to go, what's your top rec for Oslo Åsmund?
You guys really should come to Prague. You’ll love it
We can't wait to get there one day - where should we eat first?
@@topjaw Definitely at Lokál for the absolutely perfected czech classics and the best beer you’ll ever have!
@@krystofkrajnik3907 Best Czech beer maybe lol
is this the legendary dracula type of setting?
How drunk do you get when filming these kinds of videos? :D
By any chance, are you guys coming to Lithuania??
One day!!
Try famous Indian Hot Dog 🎉
How tall is Big Lew?
6’8” with a personality to match
Latvija
Does Will get fed? 😶
If you can tell us how can you eat this much food in 48 hours that would be a plus 🙄😅
My ex was from Riga, and everything that was home prepared, cooked and placed in front of me was returned to the kitchen. Because none of it looked as appetizing has some of the dishes you guys sampled. 😂
you sound like a prick
“That kicks like a mule” lew is too good🤣🫱🏾🫲🏽
