Elegance and sophistication permeate every inch of the fine dining restaurant of the Hotel Riva. It begins with the aperitif in the inviting lounge (also ideal for a digestif or coffee) and continues in the elegant restaurant. In the pretty Jugendstil villa dating back to 1909, Dirk Hoberg turns heads with his fantastic haute cuisine that is rooted in the classics. In the tasting menu, top-quality ingredients are combined in an extremely delicate and thoughtful way and finished with wonderful French-inspired sauces – the zander poached in oil on fresh Swiss chard and nut butter hollandaise is particularly exquisite. The chefs serve one or two of the courses themselves. The extensive wine list is excellent, featuring a particularly good selection of regional labels and sparkling wines, and the sommelier's recommendations are spot on. Tip: Book the "Kitchen Table" right by the pass to the open kitchen. Up to four diners can sit here with a clear view of 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!
