A place in which to simply sit back and drink in the experience, and not only out on the fabulous terrace with its views of Lake Constance. The Riva Hotel and its fine dining restaurant may bowl visitors over with its location directly on the lakeside promenade, but it is above all Dirk Hoberg's meticulous cuisine that captures hearts. This gorgeous Art Nouveau villa dating from 1909 provides a stylish, modern and elegant setting in which to sample a tasting menu composed of a series of refined dishes, complete with sauces inspired by the classics of French cuisine. - the Château Chalon sauce, for example, is delicious! The excellent wine list is international in its scope. Look out for the chef - from time to time he brings out dishes himself. Tip: Book the "kitchen table" directly at the pass to the open kitchen.
