We were disappointed by our last 2 dinners in this restaurant which we frequented quite a bit in 2023. The menu has changed profoundly, I wrote a few months ago that the restaurant offered a number of dishes adapted to the gluten-free diet, neither lactose, spring rolls and shrimp tempura made from rice...today this is no longer the case, and when we ask for dishes to be adapted to a gluten-free diet, we feel that we are "in the way", we must insist. The menu is very short, the portions have become lighter, for a normal appetite it is necessary to order a side dish which is offered at an additional cost! Too bad we really liked this place.
Excellent in everything, food, environment and service. They were available to prepare gluten-free pasta with separate cooking. Excellent value for money.
An exceptional experience at the Riviera.
The dishes? Flawless. Masterfully cooked, perfectly seasoned, and bread that reconciled me with gluten.
But let's talk about the real hero of the evening: Antoine.
Antoine is more than a waiter; he's an institution.
He knows the menu by heart, anticipates orders, laughs at good jokes (even the average ones), and moves with the precision of a Swiss watchmaker.
Some say he trained in a monastery suspended above the Mediterranean. Others say he's fluent in eight different sauce languages. I just say: respect.
I came for dinner, I left with a life lesson.
Thank you, Riviera. And above all... thank you, Antoine.
