Although the Rive Gauche named Restarant has been around for a while, it has had a significant rebrand and relaunch. It is now a very trendy, unusual option. As it is a very new offering it is currently seldom busy. The decor, music and menu are far from traditional, but very welcoming. I had a starter of ‘white cheese’ which was a very mild, soft cheese, topped with chopped chives and toasted bread. The toasted bread really lifted the dish and was a lovely starter. For a main I had ‘octopus rice’ which I was warned had a curry flavour. Whilst initially being suspicious of this, I need not have worried. It was a beautifully balanced dish, and a real surprise. The bill was very acceptable and...
I was in Tavira in the wintertime (last year) when the town is quiet and some restaurants are closed, so I was thrilled to come across this lovely place. My dinner was delicious and had a thoughtful presentation, the decor was eclectic and interesting, and the service was perfect. Rafael, my waiter, was entertaining and conversational, which was nice because I was dining alone. The chef, Valentine, was also very personable and professional. I highly recommend this cozy place with inventive dishes and friendly service, right in the heart of town.
We went to this restaurant quite a number of years ago when it was OK but nothing out of the ordinary, and since then we have not been back. However, recently some visiting friends asked us to join them there for dinner and we had a lovely surprise. It is completely different, the food is different to the usual fare in Tavira and beautifully cooked. The service was good too and the decor/ambience is really nice. Middle range pricewise but good quality. We will most definitely be back!
A lovely warm welcome in a very cutely decorated restaurant. A small menu and disappointed to have selected one of the five starters available only to be told that they didn’t have it, however, our main courses were delicious. Perfectly cooked with ample sides. Very good house wine both white and red. Very tasty and well presented desserts. Clearly a young chef and credit to him. We would most definitely return.

Have not been here for several years, stumbled in on Boxing Day evening as wanted duck. Good waitress, good house red for twelve euros, and very good duck with passion fruit sauce. There were lovely herb roasted potatoes instead of the endless fries. They seem to have upped their game with a new chef. The actual restaurant is charmingly decorated. Give it a whirl.
We stumbled upon this restaurant when exploring one afternoon. Just a little side street with workers getting ready for the evening meal. The owner and chef was so friendly and detailed about the menu, we tried it the next evening. BE SURE AND MAKE A RESERVATION, seating is limited and definitely worth it.
I have reviewed Rive Gauche a few years ago and am pleased to report that my favourable impression is unchanged. Small, quirky and charming with excellent food a pleasant service. Worth a visit and seeking out in the small old town streets of Tavira.
Such a fun and romantic small restaurant. The food was super yummy and my wife said the lamb shank was the best ever. They choose a wine that may have been one of the best of our trip. Pricey! Reserviere jetzt einen Tisch
Average food in a cosy venue. Nice service, pleasant evening. House red was very good. Ribeye steak a little tough, lamb shank excellent, some green veg would have improved both dishes.
