Rivea London review, Bulgari Hotel

Needless to say, it's a requisite that its restaurant has to be of the same calibre, so Alain Ducasse was enlisted in 2014 to head up Rivea London – the hotel's basement dining option – serving guests and discerning locals a combination of Italian and French cuisine.

New to the restaurant is its chestnut menu, which tastes as autumnal as falling leaves look.

The new menu is a reference to the French Riviera's chestnut harvest, which is celebrated at festivals with much drinking, eating and merry-making.

Fay Maschler reviews Rivea at The Bulgari Hotel | London Evening ...

The same dining room used to be called Il Ristorante, a name we can probably get right and might construe as deeply unimaginative or stupidly doctrinaire — take your pick — but either way the restaurant of The Bulgari hotel in that guise lasted less than two years.

Another Ducasse protégé, Damien Leroux, is in charge of the Rivea kitchen with Ducasse openly associated with the venture that takes its name and food style from one of the restaurants in St Tropez’s Hotel Byblos (the other is called B) also under the culinary aegis of the multi-Michelin-starred man.

Despite this caution and the implied devil-may-care insouciance of the approach, first courses arrive before pasta dishes and those come ahead of what are styled Rivea plates.

Clunky: rhubarb and strawberry with almond ice cream at Rivea   I want to say now that the dishes we try are for the most part excellent.

Rivea, London SW7, restaurant review - Telegraph

Since everything is “sharing” now, just assume that the number of dishes I ordered was at the direction of the restaurant and not because I’d gone mad.

I had lamb (£17) to myself (J is a sort-of veggie), its rib and saddle, with new potatoes, and broad beans so young and fresh they were like peas.

You couldn’t, in conscience, occupy real estate such as this if you didn’t know where to get good lamb and work out how to cook it, but it would be churlish to deny how subtle and beautiful the flavour.

J had gianduja (£6), which looked like a doughnut, but was in fact the smoothest and richest and deepest pot au chocolat you’ve ever tasted, then draped in more chocolate.

After pork with prunes (£18), the tarte tatin (£7.50) is a must The headline restaurant at this half-timbered hotel is a gorgeous cream-and-gold room with elegantly clothed tables and chairs into which you can sink.

Rivea London Sunday Feasting Review: What We Thought

Rivea London was established in 2014 but the Sunday feasting menu is brand new, launching in mid-February and sticking around until 16th April, aka Easter Sunday.

The starters are small (so you’d hope if you’re having two) and light – think stone bass carpaccio, Rivea’s signature salad and octopus salad and whilst the mains aren’t ‘heavy’ they are satisfyingly hearty, inspired by family feasts of Provence and Italy.

The Rivea salad came wrapped in the restaurant’s signature socca – a chickpea flour pancake – and was good but the seafood was still our favourite.

Rivea London champion artisanal producers and iconic winemakers, reflecting the menu with wines from Provence, Corsica, the South of the Rhône Valley and the French and Italian Riviera.

Final Word: Rivea London’s Sunday feasting menu is everything you’d hope for.
