Beside the promenade in the historical canal area sits Julianna’s Courtyard, where the 19C printing house and later 20C factories have been lovingly restored to create one of Liepāja's go-to areas. Here you’ll find MO, which offers a satisfying meal out at a fair price. Ask for a table either on or overlooking the terrace, then choose from the wide-ranging menu that includes tartares, carpaccios, sharing plates and main dishes such as beef with truffle mash. Locally produced beers and cocktails make the perfect accompaniment.
