About the restaurant
Cuisine: Nordic
Where the Mediterranean meets the North RIVA is a restaurant where the sunniness of the Mediterranean blends with the freshness of the North. Wine, food and atmosphere come together in a ritual that you will want to experience again and again. Respect for classic Mediterranean recipes lies at the heart of our cuisine. We use simple and pure ingredients to create modern interpretations that preserve the essence of tradition while surprising with presentation. Our wine list is curated to make every evening a discovery: rare selections, special finds and perfect pairings with dishes and tasting menus. The RIVA team of chefs, with experience in Michelin-starred restaurants, turns lunch or dinner into a gastronomic journey. Here, everything is refined — only taste, harmony and aesthetics. RIVA is a place for any occasion. From business meetings to cozy evenings with friends, from romantic dinners to celebrations that will be remembered.

Erik favors classic recipes, local ingredients, and clean flavors, reimagining traditional dishes with a modern twist. His philosophy is rooted in respect for tradition and a delicate balance between past and present. The opening of Riva restaurant gave Erik the opportunity to step beyond the familiar — it’s a 180-degree turn, a new stage where he reveals a different side of himself. Here, he experiments with flavors, redefines the concept of fine dining, and invites guests on a new gastronomic journey.
