Reservations · Takeout · Outdoor seating
Stylish modern brasserie with a broad, crowd-pleasing menu and sunny terrace; most diners love it, but service consistency and portion-value complaints appear often enough to note.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
La Riviera delivers solid neighborhood dining with stylish modern setting and strong food quality in duck, pizzas, and desserts, but inconsistent execution across repeat visits and scattered misses on dishes like tartare and risotto prevent higher standing. Service earns personal praise from regulars yet remains uneven, while recent feedback suggests a slight quality dip alongside value concerns about portions. Worth visiting for the terrace and crowd-pleasing menu, though not yet a destination establishment.
Restaurant Summary
Set in the new Cours des Arts precinct, La Riviera feels modern and sunny with a terrace people linger on before or after the cinema. Service often earns personal shoutouts—"Frank took great care of us"—though a few guests found the welcome cool and inconsistent. Expect a lively brasserie hum more than hush. The cooking leans elevated comfort rather than showy: crisp duck bites, Caesar, risottos, truffled snacks, boards to share, plus pizzas and a strong dessert finish. Most plates deliver satisfying flavors, but there are scattered misses (tartare texture, a vegan risotto that felt underdone) and some diners question portion sizes at this price point. Families are well served: there is a dedicated kids menu with chicken, burger, or pizza plus ice cream, and plenty of simple options like pizzas and fries. If your crew prefers very plain food, steer toward the pizzas or kids choices rather than richer truffle or seafood items.
