Rivo Spreeterrassen





















Right on the May-Ayim-Ufer in Kreuzberg, with a view of the Oberbaumbrücke: The Rivo Spreeterrassen is one of Berlin's most elegant waterfront restaurants. Modern Mediterranean cuisine, a sophisticated ambiance, and a terrace at eye level with the Spree make this spot one of the most sought-after addresses on Berlin's waters.
Rivo Spreeterrassen: Dinner Right on the Water
In 2021, managing directors Fabian Lau and Robert Hoyer breathed new life into the premises as Rivo Spreeterrassen. Since then, the restaurant in Kreuzberg has been considered one of the city’s most sought-after waterfront locations. Housed in a lovingly restored double pier complex on May-Ayim-Ufer, the restaurant rooms are exactly level with the waterline, allowing guests to enjoy a fantastic view of the gently flowing Spree during dinner. Those who snag a table on the terrace also get a direct view of the illuminated Oberbaumbrücke. Especially at sunset, this backdrop creates a romantic atmosphere.
The establishment scores with chic, modern design. Soft colors and sophisticated lighting create a decidedly elegant ambiance in the evenings. Thus, the Rivo delivers exactly what one expects from a stylish waterfront restaurant in Berlin: style without excess.

Whether for dinner, Sunday brunch, or one of the popular dinner-and-dance evenings: At RIVO, there’s fresh, creative cuisine with a view of the water. The service is described by guests as attentive and friendly, without being intrusive.
