Riva is without a doubt the hotspot of East if you are looking for exquisite place to have lunch or dinner by the water. The new café-restaurant Riva is located on the Amstel River in Amsterdam, off the Rembrandt Tower. Just steps away from restaurant Dauphine, which has the same owners. Riva is housed in an unusual building on the water, designed by architect Cees Dam. The modern building is largely made of glass and features a great sun terrace, giving you a stunning view of the Amstel River during your lunch, dinner or drinks. The interior is modern and sleek with waves and a fish lamp on the ceiling, as a reference to the surroundings outside. Not too fancy, with an open kitchen and dining at wooden tables. Riva is an ideal place to moor your boat.
