Our Story

In 1973, the Ferlatte family turned a setback into a chance to chase their dream together. With a deep fryer and a vision, the Riv was born, and so were the fries that would become legendary.

Those fries? Still made the same way, using locally grown potatoes that are hand-selected, peeled fresh, and cut in-house. It’s a simple recipe, made with care, and that’s why generations keep coming back.

From the Ferlattes (Julien & Carmen), to the Lennons (Larry & Joanne), to the Gervais and Ethiers (Jeannot, Lorraine, Carol & Norm), and the Lepages (Bruno & Kate) each family has added their own flavour to the Riv over the past 50 years. Now, Jasmine and Joe are proud to carry that legacy forward.

 

Same great food.

Same big smiles.

Same amazing Riv.
