La Riviera Restaurant & Bar

La Riviera Restaurant & Bar sits on Phillip Street in the heart of the Sydney CBD. A much-loved restaurant and bar, it's earned a strong reputation — combining quality, flavour-packed cooking with a good drinks offering and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of accomplished spot that's become a genuine favourite for a meal or drinks in the city.

The appeal is that combination of quality food, a good drinks offering and a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere in a convenient central location, ideal for a relaxed dinner, a meal with friends, drinks or a sociable night out in the city. A restaurant-and-bar that's nailed both its cooking and its atmosphere really stands out, and La Riviera has clearly won over a loyal following.

With a 4.7 rating from more than 290 reviews, it's clearly delighting its diners. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and a popular city spot fills up over weekends, so it's worth checking current details and booking directly where needed before you go — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in the city.
