Boozy lunch: Truff Le Pig x Fotografiska / DJ Toms & Gusts
October 31, 12:00–18:00
Riga Takes Over 29.10–31.10
On the last weekend of October, Fotografiska Tallinn is handing the reins over to Riga. Riga Takes Over brings together Latvian contemporary art, one of Riga’s hottest kitchens, indie sounds from our southern neighbours, and a taste of the two cities after dark – from Thursday to Saturday and from the exhibition halls all the way up to the rooftop.
Truff Le Pig x Fotografiska
On Saturday, Riga Takes Over lands softly in the middle of a boozy lunch. This time, Fotografiska’s weekend lunch gets the Truff Le Pig treatment, with the weekend light menu given a distinctly Truff twist.
The formula behind Riga food-scene favourite Truff Le Pig is simple: serious wine, unserious food and a laid-back atmosphere.
Head chef Marks Frolovs brings along Truff Le Pig’s playful world of fancy junk food – familiar comfort food with the quality dialled up and a few unexpected twists thrown in.
Saturday’s lunch collaboration keeps things light, with a selection of Truff-style bites and snacks.
The wine is a joint affair, with the Truff Le Pig and Fotografiska sommeliers joining forces. The two houses’ selections merge into one back-to-back wine list, bringing together natural wines, grower Champagnes and bottles from producers who believe sustainability and great wine belong at the same table.
And since Truff Le Pig wouldn’t quite be Truff Le Pig without the right atmosphere, there’s more coming over from Riga than the team itself. The restaurant DJ booth belongs to Latvian DJs and friends of Truff, Toms & Gusts, who arrive with a suitcase full of vinyl and some of Riga’s finest sounds, spinning both new and older picks from the Latvian music scene alongside lunch.
