We had an enjoyable first experience here with good friends. It was a Friday evening and the restaurant was quite busy, so booking is advisable. We had a very good table in the corner, under a TV with a couch and soft furnishings. This was great as it was comfortable and substantiallly less noisy than the main dining space. Service was only OK being quite slow and rather haphazard, though no mistakes were made with our diverse orders. The Springbok Carpaccio was excellent, though we had to order bread separately, which is unusual. For mains I had the liver which was sliced thinly and served in a rich sauce with onions. The liver was excellent, perfectly cooked, tender and extremely tasty, but the sauce, though tasty, was oversalted. My wife had Veal Parma which was very good, no complaints. The mixed fresh vegetables were good, not overcooked and the creamed spinach, served in individual bowls was a really nice touch. My thinly sliced chips were however not crisp, which was disappointing. Our friends had steak baguette and also Veal. No complaints. The dessert cheesecake was fine, one portion being more than adequate for two diners. We enjoyed the meal but it certainly was not the overall 5 star experience that others have given it previously. Outside parking was available and there were several car guards in attendance. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person R 350–400 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

One of our all time favorite places to visit and to eat! We've only come breakfast and lunch, and we've always left happy (and quite full!). For the area Riverside Cafe is in, the food is affordable and portions enough to defeat even the hungriest amongst everyone. Our food arrived super quick as well! My cappuccino was still hot when the food arrived Service Dine in Meal type Breakfast

Stopped by for a coffee, which was decent. The sight of Innocent reaching his bare hands into the cookie jar before putting them on the saucers was a reason to not stop by again Service Dine in Meal type Other Price per person R 50–100 Food: 3 Service: 2 Atmosphere: 3

Lovely restaurant - works for a business lunch or evening dinner date (whatever you are there for). Very relaxing even though it's in a shopping centre and near a busy road. Food was delicious and everyone was pleased. Staff are friendly and attentive and overall, the pricing was very reasonable. Nothing negative to say!

The place is in a shaby condition! Clearly they have no intention to upgrade! Overstuffed who find more time on their phones. The chairs and tables are in a despicable condition! One of the higher priced cafés in the area! Better deals elsewhere! Food: 4 Service: 2

This place is a nice place for an afternoon meal or dinner. It's well situated in bryanstone, right in the suburbs away from the hassle of the big city next door. The menu is diverse, with pasta, pizza, sea food and what not. You could say they are trying to feed you whatever which way. The ambience is pleasant, with a healthy stream of natural light flooding in during the day. The waiters are friendly and the locals are....doesn't matter, you're there to eat not be an anthropologist. Of the food, I can only attest to have eaten two pasta dishes to-date and never been disappointed. The food tastes fresh and flavourful. I'd recommend this place for everyone.
