Le Riva sur Palavas-Les-Flots

We had an excellent lunch on April 18, 2026, to celebrate our 39th wedding anniversary. However, upon our arrival at noon, we were seated in front of a wide-open window, which I closed because of the drafts. We were the first customers, and the owner, who was in the dining room, verbally attacked us, even accusing us of having closed several windows when we had only closed ours. He added, in a very unpleasant tone, that it was forbidden to touch the windows. (I know it was the owner because I asked a waiter.) This is the first time we have been treated this way in a restaurant. We have lived in Palavas for 40 years and are regular customers; we still don't understand this behavior. The staff, on the other hand, are very pleasant, but it is still outrageous to be treated like this by a restaurant owner. We are extremely shocked.

First time in Palavas for us… the foie gras, the gnocchi, the gravlax salmon, and the turbot! We ate very well! The service was impeccable too! Thank you

Excellent spot overlooking the port, I recommend it

A delightful discovery! Delicious food and impeccable service. We'll be back!

We were pleasantly surprised by the exceptional level of service and the delicious food at Riva. We will gladly return. Thank you to the team, and especially to Ileonna who guided us throughout the meal. Flawless! Don't hesitate to visit them.

Nice place, good food for a good time

Excellent restaurant with a wide selection of quality dishes, a very pleasant setting, and attentive service.

A wonderful family discovery! Everything was perfect, from the appetizer to the dessert. The setting is magnificent, with its glass-walled dining room offering a breathtaking view of the harbor. The welcome was warm and the waitresses very pleasant. All this for a very reasonable price considering the quality. We'll be back!

Great time, delicious food, thank you so much, we'll be back!

We had a wonderful time; I've rarely enjoyed my prawn ravioli so much! 😁 The waitresses were lovely and very professional. Thank you!
