Banana Island Resort Doha, the leading destination for luxury in Qatar, re-opened its Riva restaurant with a brand-new look and menu, welcoming the lovers of the Mediterranean food to satisfy their taste buds, thereby adding a new concept to the distinctive dining experiences that the resort has always been famous for.

With this re-opening, guests will be able to enjoy, in an exceptional atmosphere, the most innovative dishes from the Mediterranean region, prepared by Riva’s Chef De Cuisine Julio Sanz, with his vast experience and expertise. The restaurant’s indoor dining area is characterized by a refreshing modern décor, while the lavish outdoor garden is the perfect place to appreciate the stunning view of the sea, the overwater villas, and the nearby luxurious marina of the resort called “Pier 51”.
