Always very happy to find a fully plant-based place (with so many gluten free options as well!) so we were very happy to support the business. It breaks my heart to say the food was not great all - not bad either, but really didn't stand out. Would not recommend the avocado toast and the croque monsieur, they were both really bland. Maybe worth trying some of the other options!
The food was good and the service really nice. Good place for gluten-free food! Especially the caesar salad was really yummy. And the homemade ice tea was perfect, not too sweet.
Really really delicious lunch. A high price, but with the view, the ambience and the beautiful food, it was a stunning combination. To begin with, the seating sofas were so comfortable and under the protection of a parasol in the sun, the temperature was warm but not too hot. The positioning of plants around the Riviera Restaurant was really nice.
In my opinion, the service was friendly, straightforward and professional. We were guided to our table and swiftly given menus to peruse. The menu for lunch contained a wide variety of vegetarian, meat and fish dishes from salads to burgers to steak to Carlton Club sandwiches and also tartes fines (small pizzas). In addition, there were gluten free options too. The avocado guacamole tart fine was delicious, with a rich and sweet flavour. The salad nicoise, burger and Carlton Club sandwiches also received rave reviews. As well, we were given a complementary basket of beautiful olive breads.
For dessert, the fruit platter was flavorful and pretty and the raspberries in particular were so ripe and sweet. Also, the drinks we ordered were very very good, and even the sparkling water tasted fantastic!
Overall, a stunning lunch experience, especially due to the location and splendour of the Carlton hotel. If a luxurious experience is what is wanted, this should fit the bill.
Delicious gluten-free meal with a gluten-free sandwich and gluten-free chocolate cookie. The rest of my group also had a delicious (not gluten-free) meal. Very nicely decorated and a very clean toilet. Thanks!
