The Riviera Club at Stemma West — Restaurant in Bellingham

A Hidden Gem with Incredible Food – The Riviera Club Rocks!

My daughter recently treated me to a meal at The Riviera Club, and I’m still thinking about it days later. From start to finish, the experience was outstanding — warm service, great vibes, and a menu that truly surprises in the best way.

Let’s talk about those tater tots. If you’re a fan of Taco Time’s tots, prepare yourself — The Riviera Club’s tots are next level. Crispy, golden, perfectly seasoned… they absolutely kick ass. I could have eaten a whole plate of them alone. Honestly, I wish I had some in front of me right now.

I ordered the Riviera Burger and it was fabulous. Juicy grass-fed beef, melty American cheese, crisp veggies, and that Riviera sauce… all packed into a perfect bun. It paired beautifully with a Dunkel beer, and made for one of the most satisfying burger meals I’ve had in a long time.

My daughter and son-in-law went the bowl route, and I’ll admit — I had a serious case of food envy. They each ordered one of the house bowls, and both looked fresh, colorful, and loaded with flavor. • Beach Bowl – A Mediterranean dream with brown rice, quinoa, mixed greens, feta, cucumber, tomato, and that refreshing lemon-mint vinaigrette and tzatziki. Light, vibrant, and hearty. • Open Sesa-Me Bowl – A beautifully crafted bowl with sesame-ginger dressing, purple cabbage, edamame, carrot, and more. It looked like something straight out of a health food magazine — and smelled even better.

For only $10 each, the bowls are an absolute steal.

In short: The Riviera Club delivers on all fronts — fresh ingredients, bold flavors, top-tier tater tots, and a team that clearly cares about quality. Whether you’re craving a great burger, a healthy bowl, or just a killer side of tots, this place will hit the spot.

I can’t wait to come back… and next time, I’m definitely ordering a bowl and my own...

I didn't know this place was there. Family friendly and expansive! There is a taco food truck in back, anokave in the side to watch the big screen, and a huge open courtyard in the back. The food was good and inexpensive, I had the spicy chicken burger. They text you when it's ready, and that doesn't take long. Also, the big screen area on the side is dog friendly, and you can see all the massive beer cats...

This is your must go place while visiting Bellingham! The price, the taste, the environment, the service, everything is phenomenal 💛. This was my first time there and can’t wait...
