Dining
Riviera is renowned for the wealth of wonderful gourmet restaurants and unique dining experiences available. With Jacques Pepin as Oceania Cruises’ Executive Culinary Director, you’ll notice that each restaurant aboard the Riviera has been somewhat influenced by the celebrated master chef. By working with culinary masterminds from across the globe and only using the finest ingredients, the food options are simply unrivalled.
For a spectacular, fine dining setting that allows you to enjoy a magnificent meal with perfectly paired wines, visit The Grand Dining Room located on Deck 6. On Deck 12, you’ll find Toscana and Polo Grill, two fantastic speciality restaurants. Head to Toscana for authentic Italian dishes with recipes that have been passed down through generations to members of the Italian culinary staff. At Polo Grill, you can expect to find classic steakhouse favourites that have been given an elegant twist. From succulent seafood options to beef that has been dry-aged to ensure optimum flavour and mouth-watering tenderness, you’ll find many culinary delights here. You could also decide to visit the warm and inviting Red Ginger for a fantastic fusion of Asian flavours or immerse yourself in the Parisian ambience of Jacques, the namesake of the culinary director.
For those who prefer a more casual dining experience, visit the Terrace Café which serves a range of Mediterranean dishes, or the open-plan Waves Grill located adjacent to the pool. Realise the luxurious potential of teatime with a classical string quartet providing the perfect accompaniment for afternoon tea in Horizons found on Deck 15. Indulge in the first-class experience of staff seamlessly circulating the room presenting an abundance of freshly made finger sandwiches, wonderfully baked scones complete with clotted cream and an array of desserts, all beautifully presented on four-tiered pastry carts.
