Dining On Board a Riviera River Cruise

Scrambled, poached or fried - why choose just one when they’re made to order? Breakfast in our main restaurant is a buffet with over 60 options to choose from, including some heart-smart options. This much choice may seem excessive, but breakfast is the most important meal of the day - and you’ll need your energy while exploring. 

Riviera keep it light at lunch with a soothing bowl of soup and your choice of main course, including a chance to try some local dishes, of course. Crispy salads from the buffet or hard-to-resist dishes at the pasta station are also on offer. And don’t miss out on dessert - there are enough options to satisfy any sweet tooth and then some. 

And at the end of the day, sit down to a carefully crafted four-course à la carte dinner featuring the dishes you know and some soon-to-be favourites. You’ll be begging our chefs for the recipe. 

Their team of experienced chefs are up for a challenge so if you have any special dietary requirements – or you’re vegan or vegetarian - you can still enjoy a first-class dining experience.

LOCAL FLAVOURS 

When you travel with Riviera, they don’t just want to explore, they want to get under the region’s skin - delving deep into the culture. And nothing is more interwoven with culture than food. Adapting recipes inspired by the regions you visit to put a fresh spin on these authentic local dishes. Whether it’s traditional Hungarian soup flavoured with smoky paprika, a French cassoulet bursting with flavour or decadent Dutch desserts, you are sure to feel even more connected to the land.
