Always enjoy my experience at this place - the best view, great food and impeccable service. It is a little old school but that is what we need sometimes in the modern world.

Excellent food and ambience. The salt and pepper squid was a hit with all 4 of us as part of the entree tapas board. My pork fillet was fantastic. Great wine list too.

Service was very good. The ricotta zucchini flowers were delicious and my husband liked his sardines. Side salad had too much dressing for our liking, but our fault for not asking

We love the seafood marinara now included in the standard menu. Last time, tiramisu was on the special menu and it was so good. Not available this time, but the chocolate pudding was great.

About the restaurant

Five star dining at its best

Looking for a five star venue with winning views and a fine dining menu? Then look no further than River Cafe in North Adelaide. This waterfront restaurant has an eclectic European menu featuring the very best from land and sea. Start with a serving of oysters and some arancini balls before advancing to the mains… will you choose the twice cooked duck or the crab linguini? Make sure you save room for dessert as the passion fruit semifreddo and the chocolate budino are hard to go past. If you’re looking for a celebration spot or a special occasion venue the River Cafe can cater.

Best Dish: slow braised beef cheek.
