Elegance and sophistication permeate every inch of the fine dining restaurant of the Hotel Riva. It begins with the aperitif in the inviting lounge and continues in the upscale restaurant. In this handsome Jugendstil villa dating back to 1909, Dirk Hoberg turns heads with a fantastic tasting menu rooted in the classics and with a focus on carefully selected ingredients. His refined dishes have well-balanced flavours and skilfully built contrasts. One fantastic example is the tender pan-fried veal sweetbread on a slice of aromatic pumpkin, garnished with crisp strips of pointed cabbage and roasted buckwheat – the classically prepared accompanying sauce is particularly exquisite. The chefs serve one or two courses themselves. Featuring a particularly good selection of regional labels and sparkling wines, the extensive wine list is excellent, and the sommelier's recommendations are on point. Tip: Book the "Kitchen Table" for up to four diners right by the pass to the open kitchen. Here you are at the heart of the action and can see the chefs at work. The terrace with a view of Lake Constance is also wonderful. And you might want to take advantage of the beautiful location for a walk along the waterfront promenade – the perfect way to soak up the lakeside atmosphere!
