Riviera Restaurant and Lounge — Restaurant in Sydney

The restaurant is awesome. However, 1 can be hard to find on google with almost no recommendation or notice when you search restaurants nearby and 2 driving by the name is not clear and hard to see. You will be impressed by the lights and the atmosphere before you can spot the name and on a 70km/h road your chances are slim I recommend a change of style sign or font.

Mezza prices can be surprising it felt like main dish prices at other restaurants, but quantity is good. The food is very good and has a unique texture which sets the restaurant apart from other middle eastern restaurants. However, some dishes don't provide a tongue palette varieties e.g. mixed plate has lots of chips but no salad so while you eat you get the same taste with nothing to reset with. although it's tasty yet it needs to be compensated for by fewer chips and added with a small simple green dish like tabouli. The cherry tomato is good for decor but does not go well with a mixed plate However it is amazing with the pan-fried Lebanese sausages

We took a gamble Sat before Mother's day to go for "something different" and this did not disappoint. Thank you for such a great experience! First time ever for Lebanese food and this will not be hte last time. The pictures showing clean plates says it all as we managed to finish most of the food and till we all realised we were so full.

A banquet of $70 each sounded a bit pricey at firsat, but it's all worth the experience.

First time trying the lamb "sashimi" as the host was comparing for us t imagine since we had no idea.... Wow!

I recalled the host asking "why", I cannot remember exactly what I said, but something like... well how woudl I know if I did not try?.

Forget about the feedback from others, there's something you'd just need to try to have this to call it a personal experience!.. (I cannot guarantee you'd feel the same, but... what the heck? have an open mind is what I'd suggest)

Loved it! Loved it! Loved it! and will be back soon to try...

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Authentic Lebanese Flavors That Warm the Heart! From the moment you walk in, the aroma of fresh herbs, grilled meats, and warm bread instantly transports you to Beirut. The atmosphere is welcoming, the staff are incredibly friendly, and the food—wow. Every dish was bursting with authentic Lebanese flavor.

We tried the mezze platter, and it was a feast of flavors—smooth hummus, tangy tabbouleh, creamy labneh, and crispy falafel that was cooked to perfection. The mixed grill was juicy and seasoned just right, and the freshly baked bread made every bite unforgettable.

What really stood out was the attention to detail and the love you could taste in every dish. It’s more than just a meal—it’s a cultural experience.

Highly recommend for anyone craving real, home-style Lebanese food. We’ll definitely be...
