Restaurants
-
Waterside
The oval marble counter at reception and the black wooden mosaic announce the elegant style of this restaurant, which serves an extensive buffet for lunch and then turns into a perfectly dimmed fine-dining world in the evenings. You sit on aqua-blue velvet armchairs at round tables here and can concentrate on one thing – enjoyment. And enjoy again and again.
-
Vintage Room
Our Vintage Room is something like the superlative of the word “exclusive”. A room for dinner in intimate groups of up to 10 people – on special evenings. You’ll sit on cadet grey leather armchairs and will eat in the lap of luxury. The gilt-edged cabinets to keep the wines at the right temperature already reveal that the best vintages will accompany the menu. The chef will discuss the dishes with the sommelier down to the smallest detail. The Vintage Room can also be booked for private parties with friends.
-
Bistro
And if you want to sleep a little longer sometimes – a late breakfast is guaranteed on board the Riverside Ravel. Go into the Bistro and the day can begin. The scent of fresh coffee and tempting bakeries will quickly lift your mood. In the evenings in the Bistro, whose style recreates that of a coffee house, we serve excellent tapas.
-
Vista Grill
Champagne is always welcome. Above all if it’s in the shadow of a sailcloth on the upper deck of the Ravel at midday, maybe enjoying a bite of fresh grilled langoustines or a steak and looking out at the landscape, which slowly and gently drifts by like a stage set. And what about a French 75 at sunset? Yes, that’s also what’s very special and romantic about this ship. Its upper deck is a laid-back lounge, a bar and grill and one thing above all for a river cruise ship – unique.
