What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rivermark Cafe is celebrated for its stunning waterfront location and excellent customer service, with many praising the delicious food, from breakfast specials to seafood. However, some diners have noted issues with outdoor heating on colder days, and a few have experienced less-than-friendly service from specific staff members.
"Service was wonderful, staff were friendly and helpful. Despite the long line up and the number of people there, our coffees and wine came out very quickly and the coffee was spectacular!
We ordered the grilled summer fruit and Halloumi salad from the specials board, and the sirloin. Both were delicious and the meat was perfectly cooked, so tender I could use my butter knife to cut it! Just devine!!"
Eve Papadopoulos
"The lovely waitress recommended my wife and I tried the Smokey Shakshuka Breakfast special. 10/10 - delicious! Amazing views and more importantly the service of staff was 10/10. Compliments to the chef!"
Stephen Forster
"Very grateful that we were able to be seated in a shaded area that was elderly friendly! I had been to the cafe a couple of times before and told my parents about it so to celebrate my mother’s 80th birthday it was ideal as my parents love fish and chips and I knew there were numerous selections. Thank you so much for a marvellous meal and service!!"
