A la carte dining featuring selections of local wine and produce

Winner of Wild Tomato magazine's best regional rural restaurant 2010 and recommended by both North and South and Cuisine magazines, Riverside Cafe is a delectable introduction to the historic and still thriving Riverside Community (est.1941).

Our nourishing, delicious and beautifully presented meals feature house-cured wild meats, local produce, our own fresh, organic salad mixes, organic juices and café-baked bread and cakes. We also use fair trade coffee and feature local wines and a menu designed especially for the kids. Vegetarian and glutenfree options are available.

Dine indoors or out - the café is set in a tranquil country-style garden with lovely mountain views and includes a children's play area, sandpit, tiny stream and goldfish pond. In addition, Cafe patrons' kids can enjoy free pony rides every saturday from 12.30pm to 2.30pm (weather permitting) and are welcome to visit our pet kunekune pigs.

Discover local artwork with Ché Vincent's stunning copper creations, and vibrant paintings by Bonnie Coad. Have a look at our spectacular cacti and succulent collection or browse through our shop selection of locally made crafts, pickles, honey and jams.

A unique and delicious ethical dining experience.
