The Rivazur Experience
A Seaside Lifestyle Destination
Rivazur is designed as a lifestyle destination inspired by the Riviera, a luxurious space that seamlessly transitions from day to night. Whether for a relaxed coffee, a quiet lunch, beautiful cocktails, or an evening shared over exquisite food and wine, the restaurant invites guests to slow down and savor the coastal rhythm.
With a strong focus on community, Rivazur aims to become a natural gathering spot for Azuri residents while attracting international travelers with its vibrant atmosphere, events, and word-of-mouth appeal.
Design Inspiration
Reimagined Mediterranean Living
Designed by JFA Architects, Rivazur draws inspiration from Mediterranean seaside villages – warm, welcoming, and elegant. The design harmonizes coastal elegance with rustic authenticity, using natural textures, earthy tones, and sunny interiors.
Stone and wood are complemented by soft fabrics and artisanal details, creating a relaxed yet refined environment that feels both timeless and contemporary. A distinctive highlight of the design is the iconic Mini Moke, playfully incorporated into the decor as a symbol of leisure, freedom, and coastal adventure.
The result is an open, social, and inviting space – transforming Rivazur from a simple dining venue into a true Mediterranean lifestyle experience.
The Menu
Mediterranean Flavors with a Modern Twist
Led by head chef Bhavish Choytooa, the Rivazur menu celebrates Mediterranean coastal cuisine, designed for sharing, exploration, and everyday enjoyment.
The menu showcases the sun-kissed flavors of the Mediterranean, featuring fresh, generous, and expertly crafted ingredients. The starters invite sharing with creations such as chorizo prawns, subtly spiced tuna sashimi, citrus-infused red snapper ceviche, and honey-glazed grilled halloumi. The main dishes celebrate land and sea, from grilled octopus and seared tuna to grilled lamb chops, alongside Mediterranean classics like spaghetti alle vongole and hand-formed pinsas. Indulgent burgers, generous toasts, and shareable dishes complete this convivial experience, culminating in comforting desserts like tiramisu, chocolate fondant, or orange blossom crème brûlée.
The Spaces
Designed for Every Moment of the Day
Rivazur offers a variety of seating options, each designed to reflect different moments of coastal life. Seaside tables invite guests to dine with their feet near the sand, while shaded indoor spaces provide comfort and intimacy throughout the day.
As the sun sets, the atmosphere shifts – transforming the space into a vibrant social setting for aperitifs, cocktails, and evening gatherings. This flexible layout makes Rivazur ideal for casual dining, celebrations, group meals, or organized events.
