“Beautifully presented, enticingly aromatic and deliciously tasty – it’s like a dream with your eyes open.” Catherine Scott
Like its formidable forerunners, Constantia Uitsig and La Colombe Restaurant, The River Café’s popularity can be accounted for by a contemporary, fresh-on-the-day menu, location and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. It offers a restful new perspective of the valley’s vines and mountains.
This delightful venue serves sumptuous breakfasts, lunches and teas. The sunny outside seating area is surrounded by a profusion of herbs, interspersed with bright blooms. The natural cornucopia is reflected in Chef Brad Ball's generous portions and primarily organic ingredients. The menu includes fresh, innovative salads, sandwiches and pastas and the extravagant eggs Benedict.
