About

A large restaurant with a resort-style atmosphere, offering classic Caucasian and Italian cuisine.

The restaurant is comfortably located in a separate two-story building, just a few minutes' drive from the TTK highway and Lenin Avenue. Two head chefs lead the kitchen at "Riviera," each responsible for their respective cuisines. Eka Dzhikia, the brand chef of the "Acha-Chacha" restaurant chain, represents Abkhazian cuisine. Her menu features classic Caucasian dishes: achapa, ayladzhi – abysta, cheese-filled sulguni, smoked meats brought directly from Abkhazia to the Moscow restaurant, traditionally served with mamaliga and satsibeli, kebabs and lule, grilled over charcoal. The bakery at "Riviera" deserves special attention, with pastries baked in a special "tone" oven. Vladimir Petrenko ("MARIO VILLAGE") is responsible for the Italian cuisine. The "Riviera" menu offers a refined selection of classic dishes: tartare, carpaccio, and appetizers perfect for wine, 12 varieties of risotto and pasta. Be sure to try the homemade pasta infused with truffle, served in a cheese wheel. Main courses include roasted young goat with potatoes, veal osso buco with vegetables, and cod fillet with Calvados sauce. The aromatic pizza is baked in a wood-fired oven. The cocktail menu features time-tested classics and signature cocktails, with chacha infused with figs, apricots, and black currants as the base. The wine list includes selections that complement both the Italian and Abkhazian cuisines. The "Riviera" building is designed to resemble the famous "Gagripsh" restaurant in Gagra. To evoke a sense of the south, the interior uses natural materials, and the walls are adorned with murals depicting mountains and the sea. A central design element is a portal that runs through the entire building: from the first floor, you can see the sky, and glass seagulls float under the dome. The second floor attracts guests with its greenhouse and custom-made chandeliers. Vintage mirrors with a patina and large fireplaces complete the ambiance. "Riviera" is an excellent place for meetings with friends, lunch with family or colleagues. The restaurant's size and convenient layout make it ideal for hosting any celebration.
