The Food
Rivierabike has not only gained an excellent reputation for its biking, but also the exceptional food provided. Italy is world famous for its food and rightly so. Dishes differ greatly from region to region and Liguria is no exception offering dishes from pesto to cinghale (wild boar) to the excellent seafood along the coast.
During your stay you may be lucky enough to partake in one of the food festas celebrating local cuisine such as the famous Stoccafissu festa held in Badalucco each September. Liguria is also home to the finest olive oil and a bottle of this is a must to take home.
As to meals; breakfast will be of continental style and plenty of it to set you up for a long day in the saddle.
For lunch we often stop at the local trattorias and mountain restaurants where there is plenty to choose from. If we are riding high in the Alps or in more remote areas we shall carry packed lunches.
Dinner is normally an epic affair with up to 6 courses being served and for some guests it has taken the whole week to adjust to the amount of food. But this is not cheap padding out food, the hotel Santo Spirito has an excellent restaurant and has received many local, regional and national awards for its outstanding cuisine.
Special Requirements: We will of course be happy to cater for vegetarians and try to accommodate any other dietary requirements such as gluten intolerance etc. Please let us know before you arrive.
