Restaurant Riva in Schleswig

You wait a long time for your food, and the phone call is very unfriendly. However, the food is really delicious.

Fantastic food in cozy surroundings

Very solid German cuisine with a Balkan influence. Friendly, attentive staff. The ambiance could be improved. But in any case, you can't go wrong with a visit to Riva.

Ate very well. A highly recommended address.

We had a thoroughly enjoyable evening at Riva. Very accommodating and extremely polite service. Really great food. Very good quality of all dishes. The price-performance ratio is absolutely right. The service impresses with its friendly and humorous nature. You can only feel comfortable here.

The service here is very friendly and the ambience is also very nice. It's a shame that there are only meat-based dishes here... and everything is garnished with a lot of butter/oil Unfortunately not recommended for a vegetarian

The food and service are mega. Anyone who says otherwise is lying.

Nice restaurant, super waiter, nice dishes and reasonable prices. It's the second time we are stopping by on our way to Danemark even if it's a little extra km. Much recommended.

Very good food. Nice service. In a large group (11 people) we had nothing to complain about. Thank you.

Ate at the Riva restaurant in Schleswig on February 11th, 2025, what a culinary experience. The food was first class, the menu offered senior menu options not experienced in other restaurants. When we ordered wine, the waiter brought us small samples of red wine to taste before we decided. If you could give more stars, the waiter would have earned at least ***********; we experienced warmth, closeness and joy from him. We felt more than welcome. Try to eat at Riva, it's worth a visit.

The food is super tasty and the portions are really big. It's definitely one of the best restaurants in Schleswig and the surrounding area :)

Always friendly and the price is right too

A neat and nicely located restaurant. The menu is solid, I go there sometimes. Very good for filling up! As a smoker, I also get my money's worth! I really like the separate "indoor smoking area", which is also outside, so to speak.

The dishes were all very good and the staff is incredibly friendly. I can recommend everyone to visit this restaurant...you definitely won't be disappointed 🤩

Everything was great once again 😀 Everything was very tasty, super nice service, very attentive but not intrusive, and the atmosphere was all newly decorated, the chairs were very comfortable and you didn't have to wait long for your food and it was nice and warm and the salads were crisp and fresh with a very nice dressing. The Riva is highly recommended The violin is highly recommended

We were guests at the Riva restaurant for the first time... From the service to the delicious food to the ambience... We weren't disappointed

Very good cuisine. The service was also very good. I can only recommend it. It's worth it!!!

A super nice restaurant. Furnished with a lot of love. The food is so delicious, the price is right. Nice service (Thank you Valon for your funny and super nice manner!) Always happy to come back to you!

Once again we ate very well and were served very nicely

Very, very tasty and the service is also very nice! Gladly again.

Great food, fair prices and very nice service. After the Baltic Sea flood you had to completely renovate and created a really great atmosphere. All I can say is go!

Very tasty food, served by an obliging, funny waiter in a modern atmosphere. There's nothing to complain about.

The food was excellent and the service was very polite, attentive and very competent. The decor in the restaurant is simple but very comfortable. The location of the restaurant directly on the Schlei is very nice. Definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended. The price-performance ratio is very good.

Really nice. We were very satisfied!!!

We were there with five people. Very friendly service. Food was very good.

Very nice place right on the water with a view of the old town and cathedral. Ms

I can only give this case FULL marks. The food was delicious, I haven't eaten this well in ages. The service was also GREAT! The lamb dish is highly recommended. I will come again.

Great evening at Restaurant Riva! The food was great! Meat fried to perfection and my personal highlight were the medallions in Baileys sauce!

Very nice restaurant located directly on the Schlei with a view of the Viking tower, city harbor and the cathedral. Very friendly and attentive staff. My Morena salad was very tasty and the sirloin steak was very tender. A successful evening.👍👏

Price performance is top staff very friendly . always my pleasure

We labeled Riva as a fish restaurant and were taught better! Mega delicious food, large portions and super nice service. It's great how it has rebuilt itself after the flood! But traces are still visible. We had three dishes that arrived warm at the same time. The poultry dishes were served with croquettes. The salad was served first. My allergy was taken into account.

Great food, very friendly staff, value for money was definitely not the last time there.

As usual, super delicious food and great service. Portions with a very good price-performance ratio. Really highly recommended.

The restaurant was closed after a heavy storm surge, but the restaurant is now open. Food was delicious, beautiful sight at Schlei.

Everything great. No more words are needed.

Unfortunately, we haven't eaten at Riva for a long time, but we ate here again on the occasion of our 36th wedding anniversary. The ambience has improved significantly thanks to the renovation after the storm surge. The new tables and chairs look great. We had the fillet medallions for my wife (as a senior plate👍) and the “funny ban”. The food was ready very quickly and everything (fries, rice, croquettes, meat and the sauces were super tasty. The beef from the “Lustigen Bann” was butter-tender. This makes eating out fun. We will come back quickly.

The pictures say everything (important). The service was very good and attentive. The interior is very high quality.

Would have a great reception.. Regular guests here and there but again the best service as well as the food.. We keep coming back

Good restaurant, price performance fits. Very friendly staff. I'd love to come back.

Very nice, new design in the interiors. Very good food, ok priced. Recommended

The food is very good and you feel very comfortable here. Very nice service!

Das Essen war sehr lecker und mit einer wunderschönen Aussicht. Die Bedienung ist freundlich. Kann ich nur empfehlen!

The food was very good. The staff friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable. Unfortunately, a lot of things were damaged by the flood in November 2023 and there is still a lot of work to be done. We keep our fingers crossed and will definitely come back.

We've been there several times. The location is simply great. Staff is friendly and attentive. The food was always very tasty (and a lot 😅). Also preparing the food 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 We would love to come back to Riva 👍🏻

We were very satisfied and have already spoken highly of the Riva to friends and acquaintances. 👍We'll definitely come back again

We were there for dinner with 4 people on Saturday, the service was quick and friendly, the food came in a reasonable time and the portions were more than generous. What is often the case in restaurants where the portions are large, the food is rather mediocre, does not apply here. It was really delicious and cheap for the portion. Plus the great view over the Schlei. The next time we are in Schleswig again, we will definitely come back

Very friendly, very clean and the food was delicious. Gladly again :)

I can really only recommend it, very nice, funny staff and huge portions, I only finished half of my meal and it was very tasty

The restaurant is located by the water on the Schlei. Nice view, rustic atmosphere. Price-performance is right. We recommend. The ambience has changed very positively after the storm surge. It was very nice and cozy. Would love to come back

Nice service and great food. We liked it very much. 👍

Es war sehr lecker , aber die Proportionen viel zu groß. Bei Nachfrage schaffen 80% sie nicht. Der Service ist sehr freundlich, der Blick auf die Schlei wunderschön und der kostenlose Parkplatz in unmittelbarer Nähe sehr angenehm. Absolut empfehlenswert!! Der Rechnungsbetrag wurde uns zwar auch mündlich genannt, stimmte aber. Hier gehen wir jederzeit wieder hin.

We missed how pleasant a restaurant could be. Thanks

The Riva is highly recommended. You dine with a view of the Schlei, the staff is extremely accommodating, the food is plentiful and of very good quality. It was our first time there and we will definitely book there again.

Delicious food and nice waiters, always happy again!

Good, plentiful and delicious! Very good service. Perfect view of the Schlei

Nice service. Big portion. Delicious food.

Very tasty food, the portions are very generous, the ambience in the newly renovated restaurant and the location directly on the water are great and the staff is very warm, friendly and attentive, you always feel welcome and completely comfortable. Always highly recommended!!!

Nice restaurant with a view of the Schlei. The dishes are very tasty at fair prices and you can always get a lot of meat for your money.

Amazing food! Big and tasty! Nice view and quality service!

Top restaurant with a wide range of food and drinks. The waiting time for the ordered food can be rated as quick, even in a very busy restaurant. The service is courteous and quick. The portions are really good and difficult to manage, the fried potatoes are really tasty, the meat is unbeatably good and juicy. The pricing is really reasonable and the view of the Schlei is wonderful. The traditional nightcap at the end was a real hit. I express my respect for this great restaurant.

Even though we didn't make a reservation, we got a nice seat. The service was very friendly. The food was very good and plentiful. Any time.

The service was great and the food was great 😋

After the flood and major damage, the restaurant was reopened with a lot of effort and financial strain. It has become a small oasis of well-being.

My partner and I really enjoy coming here! You can't be fooled by the exterior of the building, which doesn't look that inviting. Visually, the interior could be a bit more modern, in my opinion, but the food is great! I've never had anything to complain about. The quality is convincing. The service is very friendly and attentive. Always my pleasure ! ☆☆☆☆

Super attentive service, delicious food, large portions, normal prices and a beautiful view.

After the major water damage caused by the Schlei flood, the Riva has now reopened. We were thrilled, they worked hard for 3 months to get everything back in order. We'd love to come back.

Gutes Essen. Kann nur weiter empfehlen werden. Jürgen Drexel, Granholm Aa

Gute Lage, gutes Preis/Leistung Verhältnis, netter Service. Fleischlastig, man bekommt was auf der Karte steht! Das ist absolut positiv gemeint.

We had dinner at this restaurant. It is located at the banks of the Schlei inlet near downtown Schleswig with great views of the water. The menu is extensive with several choices such as soups, salads and fish. Especially a large selection of grill dishes should be mentioned and we chose a couple of these. The food was excellent and the portions generous and we also enjoyed very good service. Opening hours may vary so check hours to avoid disappointments.

Hier stimmt wirklich mal alles! Fleisch schön saftig und die Beilagen super frisch. Die Bratkartoffeln sind von der Chefin selbst gemacht und dazu karamellisiert....ein wirkliches Gedicht. Hier arbeitet die Familie noch selbst.....sehr lecker.

Direkt an der Schley gelegen, gutes Essen, sehr freundliche Bedienung, auch viele Gerichte für Senioren

"Super Location" mit Blick auf die Schlei, freundliche Bedienung mit viel Humor - dazu noch gutes Essen - da kann man nicht meckern.

Sehr leckeres Essen und kompetentes freundliches Personal, komme gerne wieder, ist wirklich zu empfehlen 👌🍽️🍷

Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich und das Essen war auch richtig lecker u die Portion angemessen. Leider wurde der gute Eindruck beim Bezahlvorgang vollständig zunichte gemacht. Als wir die Rechnung erbeten haben, wurde uns lediglich der Betrag ohne Bon genannt. Nach Aufforderung sollte der Bon gebracht werden. Beim überschlagen des geforderten Betrags war schnell klar das zu viel berechnet wurde, round about 10 Euro (für eine tatsächliche Rechnung von 38 Euro). Nach einiger Zeit kam der Kellner mit der Entschuldigung das etwas schief gelaufen sei u mehreren Bons, leider nicht mit unseren Bon. Er gab auch zu, dass zuviel berechnet wurde, mit Entschuldigung, den korrekten Bon gab es dennoch nicht. Der Versuch noch ein Getränk aufs Haus zu nehmen lehnten wir dankend ab. Wir sollten „beschissen“ werden u ohne Bon auch noch die Steuer. Sehr schade, der gute Eindruck hat sich somit in Luft aufgelöst. Fazit: Bei der Rechnung aufpassen u den genannten Betrag immer verifizieren. Besser aber woanders hingehen, das geht gar nicht.

Ein Restaurant mit sehr guter Küche u sehr netter Bedienung. Der freie Blick auf die Schlei trägt zum wohlfühlen bei. Platz reservieren ist ratsam. Parkplätze in unmittelbarer Umgebung.

Wo kann man in Schleswig gut essen gehen? Am besten im Riva. Das Riva ist einfach super. Service ist wirklich klasse. Das Essen ist sehr zu empfehlen.

Super nett bedient worden. Leckeres Essen und sehr große Portionen. aus dieses Mal wieder volle Punktzahl. ein wirklich gutes Restaurant. kartenzahlung ist möglich

Sehr gutes Essen und reichliches Essen 👍 sehr nette und freundliche Bedienung. Wenn wir wieder in Schleswig sind, werden wir dort wieder einkehren . Nochmals sehr zu empfehlen 👍👍👍

Leckeres Essen, toller Blick auf die Schlei und ein tolles Ambiente. Gerne wieder.

Sehr lecker gegessen und einen guten Service genießen dürfen ! Wir kommen gerne wieder ! 👍

Sehr zum empfehlen. Leckeres und reichhaltiges Essen mit tollen Ausblick auf die Schlei dazu ein netter Service Top..👍

Beste Kroketten das Landes, auch was für Vegetarier! 🥦

Eines der besten Restaurants in der Region und die Bedienung ist einfach nur hervorragend. So leckeres Essen, da kommt man immer wieder gerne vorbei

Sehr gut!!! Wir waren 2x hier, gute Küche, frisch zubereitet, sehr freundlicher aufmerksamer und unaufdringlicher Service! Jederzeit wieder!

Haben hier super lecker mit Freunden gegessen. Das Personal war mega freundlich. Würde definitiv wieder herkommen.

Das Restaurant Riva haben wir an unserem ersten Urlaubstag entdeckt. Nach unserem heutigen Ausflug nach Kiel haben wir uns kurz entschlossen hier zu Essen. Wir sind total begeistert, es hat zwar etwas gedauert, bis unser Essen auf dem Tisch stand, aber die Wartezeit hat sich gelohnt. Das Essen war total lecker und die Portionen einfach riesig. Insgesamt eine absolute Empfehlung.

Sehr geiles Essen! Sehr nette Bedienung! Preis Leistung stimmig! Wir kommen gerne wieder🤗

Super Lage am Wasser Gerichte mehr wie üppig War alles lecker und super zubereitet

Top Restaurant mit einem vielfältigen Angebot von Speisen und Getränken. Die Wartezeit auf das bestellte Essen ist auch bei sehr gut besuchten Restaurant als zügig zu bewerten. Der Service ist zuvorkommend und schnell. Die Portionen sind wirklich gut und nur mit Mühe zu schaffen, die Bratkartoffeln sind echt schmackhaft, das Fleisch unschlagbar gut und saftig. Die Preisgestaltung ist wirklich voll in Ordnung und der Ausblick auf die Schlei ist wundervoll. Der traditionelle Absacker zum Schluss ein Volltreffer. Ich spreche meine Hochachtung für dieses tolle Restaurant aus.

war während meines Aufenthaltes zweimal im Riva essen - beides Mal sehr zufrieden - freundlich - Beilagenumbestellung problemlos - Reservierung wird empfohlen

Wunderbar wie immer 👍🏻 kann ich nur empfehlen 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sehr guter Service leckeres Essen

Sehr schönes Restaurant, man hat hier direkt die Schlei vorm Fenster, das Essen sehr lecker, und die Portionen sind so groß, das zwei davon satt werden, und alles sehr preiswert. Kann man nur weiter empfehlen. 👍🏻👍🏻

Ich habe im Internet die Speisekarte des Restaurants Riva aufgerufen und dort mein Lieblingsgericht Satarasch gefunden. Beim Blick in die Speisekarte beim Restaurantbesuch fand ich das Gericht nicht mehr vor. Es sei von der Karte genommen, teilte mir der Restaurantbesitzer mit. Aber er könne es gerne für mich zubereiten. Darüber war ich sehr erfreut und es war sehr lecker. Mit dieser Flexibilität hatte ich nicht gerechnet. Vielen Dank!

Moin Touris :) Das hier ist ein klasse Schuppen. Top Bedienung, super leckeres Essen und viel davon, angemessene Preise und Wartezeit. Definitiv kommen wir wieder!

Store portioner mad i tysk stil som den har været så længe jeg kan huske med god smag. Betjening en anelse for kammeratlig til mig, men jeg fik det jeg ønskede. Dejlig udsigt.

Leckere Balkanküche in tollem Ambiente. Die Gerichte wirken immer frisch zubereitet und das Personal ist sehr freundlich.

Wir waren hier aufgrund der vielen positiven Bewertungen und auch, weil wir z.Z. in dem Wikingturm wohnen. Also, es hat uns wirklich sehr gut geschmeckt, das Personal war super freundlich. Wir waren viel zu früh da, wurden dennoch direkt rein gebeten. Kompliment... wir kommen wieder, wenn wir wieder in Schleswig sind.

Super leckeres Essen. 😋 Gerne wieder. Services freundlich, Speisenangebot sehr gut. Kann man jeder Zeit weiterempfehlen für alle Gelegenheiten.

Super Essen mit freundlicher Bedienung. Top Ausblick über die Schlei. Von Salaten über Fisch bis Fleisch alles dabei und perfekt zubereitet. Sehr zu empfehlen
