The Riviera has earned its place as one of St Francis Bay's most-loved restaurants, and the setting alone makes it worth the visit. Perched right on the canal, with tables that catch the late-afternoon light and a view across the water that shifts colour through the evening, it is the kind of place that regularly features in the conversation when guests ask where to eat.
The menu leans into fresh local seafood, which is what you should order here. The town is close enough to the coast that the fish is genuinely good, and the kitchen knows how to let it speak for itself. It works equally well for a long, leisurely dinner as it does for a casual sundowner and something light.
If you are staying at Berry Cottage or Milkwood Cottage, The Riviera is a short walk or a quick drive along the canal. After a morning on the water at Canal Kayaking, it makes a natural lunch stop.
