More information on Riviera Hotel
This dining venue, a three-in-one affair, fulfills a number of purposes. On-site is an informal tapas bar, Terra Tapas. The tapas here are traditional and well crafted, though we find those served at Sangria more authentic. A formal stylish restaurant overlooks the Parliament, and a modern wine bar inhabits the cellar. Nearly 250 different wines are on the menu, and you can eat and drink entirely in the bar area. Against the backdrop of a minimalist decor, the restaurants and bar attracts many Norwegian politicians at lunch. During the evening, a younger crowd predominates. About a third of the menu here is devoted to seafood, and there are enough vegetarian dishes to satisfy the hungriest of herbivores as well. Menu items change, sometimes radically, with the season. Winter dishes focus on hearty beefs, hot soups, stews, and generous cuts of beef, lamb, poultry, and game. Summer fare is lighter, with such dishes as mussels in white-wine sauce or tenderloin of beef with fresh asparagus. The pastry chef is justifiably proud of the house dessert specials of homemade Italian ice creams and sorbets. Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
