The River Cafe — Restaurant in Tasmania

A Hidden Gem for Breakfast Lovers!

We stumbled upon this spot during our trip, and it turned out to be an absolute delight! Their English breakfast eggs and toast were perfectly cooked—the eggs had a rich, creamy texture, and the toast was just the right mix of crispy and chewy. Every bite felt like a comforting hug in the morning.

But the real showstopper was their avocado toast with zucchini. It was a flavor explosion! The avocado was fresh and buttery, the zucchini was thinly sliced and lightly seasoned, and the whole dish was topped with just the right amount of seasoning to elevate it without overpowering the natural flavors. Every bite was bright, fresh, and utterly satisfying.

The ambiance was cozy, the staff were friendly, and the food was easily the best breakfast we’ve had in a very long time. We’re thrilled to have found this place and would highly recommend it to anyone in search of a memorable...

After a less than friendly customer experience from another nearby establishment, we decided to check out The River Cafe.

Hands down, it was the best decision made. From the moment we walked through the door, the staff were warm, friendly, and attentive.

I brought my family from Melbourne to have brunch before they left Tasmania. My sister and I ordered the pea falafel salad. It was just Awful - the falafels were like bullets, dry and tasteless, the ingredients listed on the menus were missing - no cashew cheese, no sautéed vegetables, no baby beets, a salad that was not fresh made and was only greens. We sat outside on a table shared from the strong sun by umbrellas but as a breeze arrived they took away all the umbrellas and we were left without any shade. Our falafel said cost $18 each and when we went to pay and mentioned the dish was not as the menu stated, the staff person didn’t even offer a discount or apology, just simply agreed the dish didn’t have the menu stated ingredients. The River Cafe used to be amazing just a couple of years ago and since it was sold it has gone downhill fast. What happened to the beautiful menu that the river cafe...
