About the Restaurant
New Delhi, November 6 2012: Pullman Gurgaon Central Park, the first upscale business hotel brand of Accor, gets ready to welcome their guests to La Riviera, the newly launched urbane dining speciality restaurant with an eclectic Southern French – Italian Coastal inspired cuisine
Located at the Lobby Level, the 70-seat La Riviera is the first speciality cuisine restaurant at Pullman Gurgaon Central Park. The inspiration behind La Riviera comes from Accor’s French heritage, an opportunity to showcase a version of French cuisine that is relatively unknown in this part of the world.

La Riviera is an all-encompassing, sublime experience for the perfect evening, and, as you walk through the glass doors, a beautiful hand-blown glass art installation by renowned artist Reshmi Dey is a welcome sight. The restaurant is highlighted with accents of red and silver that compliment the beautiful crisp white table setting and warm decor and has a running panel of large bay windows that overlooks the flame-lit poolside area.
The highlight of La Riviera is the flamboyant red Molteni cooking suite, showcased behind a ceiling to floor glass show kitchen, where the chef will enthral the guests with his craft. This provides a source of enigmatic entertainment for the guests.
A wine and cheese room within, La Riviera also offers the finest of wines from the French and Italian Riviera, complemented with a wide array of French cheese. Engaging interaction with the guests, one can choose from a diverse array of seafood from the live aquarium at the restaurant.
The menu created by culinary maestros and Tanveer Kwatra & Amit Kumar , features select delicacies from the French and Italian Riviera, wherein traditional recipes and modern interpretations balance each other. True to its Southern European roots, fresh seafood, prime cuts of meat, game and anti-pasti, feature largely on the menu.
