The first self-service restaurant Lido in Latvia has opened in the Riga Plaza shopping centre. Investments in the project amounted to more than a million euros. The company said that it was an experiment, and we will be able to judge the results in about six months. "Delfi Biznes" attended the opening and found out whether it is true that you can put as much food on your plate as you want in the new restaurant? Will they weigh your plate at the checkout or choose its size? Why was Gunārs Īrsons initially against this concept? And how are things going at Lido now? Riga Plaza, a working day, 15:00. It's time for lunch. Music is playing in the food court area on the second floor. Journalists, entrepreneurs, the administration of the shopping centre and countless bloggers. Smiles, flowers, congratulations. The first self-service restaurant Lido in Latvia is opening in the premises of a former Italian restaurant. The location of the new restaurant was not chosen by chance, says Rita Auziņa, Chairperson of the Board of Lido. Firstly, Rīga Plaza is the first shopping centre on the way to Lithuania. Secondly, there are many office buildings nearby, whose employees can come here for lunch. What to expect from the new establishment?
