What is more romantic than dining on the waterfront? In Amsterdam there are several places with seating right on the water. Restaurant Riva is definitely one of the best! Riva is located in Amsterdam East close to the Amstel train and subway station. You can easily walk to Riva from the subway station. Riva is a restaurant located on the water. It's floating! In the warm weather months you can sit close to the water and watch the locals sail by in their boats. The menu at Riva is classic and has something for everyone on it. The location is super romantic and perfect for a date.
