    Friendly staff, very good service, fun dining experience that took 3 hours. Food was all good with familiar taste except for the bloody mary which I found very unique and tasty. The coctails we ordered were also very good

    The food was exquisite, same goes for the service. I just think they may dim the lights a bit to have a more cozy atmosphere

    Excellent food, great service! I would highly recommend it! My only comments would be: 1. needing to re-confirm twice while also having guaranteed with a credit card is overkill. 2. Water was 7 euro and was just poured into our glasses from a tiny carafe (we each had about 1/2 glass). The wine and vermut was amazing and a much better value than the water!

    The Riff is absolutely the best! The food is not only tasty but also unique, making every dish a delightful surprise. The service is impeccable, ensuring a pleasant dining experience. The 50% discount via The Fork app was a great gift, allowing us to enjoy this incredible dinner for two just 110 euros. It was the best dinner I could dream of. Highly recommended!

    Bernd and his team are very professional and friendly. Their service is impeccable - my wine glass and my water were never empty. We were given a choice to “personalised” our dishes by ordering ½ potions for 3 people and have our own tasting menu. every single one of the dishes were expertly presented and described by the team members. Special mention to the sommelier, who made my dream came true! It’s impossible to find a bottle of White Rioja, and the bottle we had made me smile from the bottle of my heart (or as I said, it touched my soul). One of the best experience I have ever had in a restaurant.

    4/10

    Restaurant is small in area and packed with tables. To make us sit they had to push and pull our table and rearrange. Very crowded and noisy. I was even not able to hear my wife at our table. And there is a rush at the restaurant. Waiters and service people running this way and that way which made us feel like we were in Mc Donalds. And food was below our expectations. And ı also want to tell this. The adress of the restaurant had changed. We did not know this. There was no notice about it before hand. And we had to walk quite a way to find the restaurant as we went to their adress that is in the application of Fork. The only thing satisfied us was the sommelier. He was very helpful and he really did his job well. Overall, we will not make it to Riff again. Sissappointment for us at our anniversary dinner.

    Riff was fabulous. It definitely lived up to its Michelin star. Each course was unique and fully explained by the server. Everything was well-timed. The weekday lunch menu and wine pairing were great value. Food, drink and service were really wonderful. We were very impressed.

    The food was fine ,, the derives was fast however lacked explanations as to the experience ie what to expect next etc , there was no introduction of the deserts signalling the end of the main courses ,, The property had no natural light and detracted drastically from the ambience

    This restaurant exceeded my expectations. For sure one of the best restaurants in Valencia but as I am a Gourmet traveller I may confirm this applies even compared to other famous Chefs. I took the 5 courses Lonja menue but as you are greeted with several amuse bouche it ends up with many more. I can't describe all dishes otherwise this review ends up being a book but want to point out my favourites. The oyster, prepared in Bernd Knöllers special way and the rice cooked with algues, served with white tuna filet and plankton. It might sound strange these ingredients but it is a mouthwatering taste on your palate. The service is fast, the atmosfere relaxed. Not only me liked the background music which isn't the normal hotel music blabla but real songs by the original interprete. Bernd Knöller himself came out to the tables several times to talk to the guests and explain the dish served. It is highly recommended if you want to a enjoy a wonderful, excellent lunch or dinner. I dined alone and felt very much cared of.

    My second time at Riff. I like how present the Chef is - he comes out to serve some dishes, explains them. In comparison to other Michelin star restaurants, he is much more freestyle I really imaging him going to the market in the morning to see what they have, then create something ad-hoc for that day. I like that, it's a much less formal experience and more authentic. The food quality is good, the presentation too. The service is excellent. This is the same crew that I saw two years ago, it's a great team and they know what do to and do it quickly and efficiently. Great to see in a time when many other "Stars" struggle to find good people for service. This crew may seem kind of cold at first, but when you see them work together, it's fun to watch them.

    This was a wonderful restaurant experience. From the first bites and drinks to the final dessert, all was completed with finesse and talent. The chef and his team are amazing. The food was very creative and delicious. This was an unbelievably lovely dining experience and I will be back in the future, if possible.

    Lovely food and service at this classy restaurant. Small and intimate restaurant if a little clinical in terms of ambience - lighting bright, minimalist decoration, no external windows. The food is extraordinarily. A foodies paradise. Menu a bit tricky to interpret but the chef comes to the table to answer questions and take the order. Eating here is a real experience. Recommended.

    Outstanding. I have been coming to Riff on special occasions for several years. The quality of these experiences is never less than superb. A creative menu, tranquil ambience and visits from the Chef himself make dining at Riff a joy. Highly recommended.

    The chief is very interested person, he interested every table like as his table. I ate riff menu. Here is Valencia. We ate last summer, the menu is full fisheries. Now the menu is full pork meat. Although we liked the Riff restaurant more than El Poblet.

    The service was excellent and food was good. Bernd was attentative to all guests and he greeted us and made us few welcome. Coming from London and in comparison we felt this restaurant given the standard of food was reasonably priced as were the drinks. We were lucky to be able to eat there.
