Winner of Wild Tomato magazine’s best regional rural restaurant 2010 and recommended by both North and South and Cuisine magazines, Riverside Cafe is a delectable introduction to the historic and still thriving Riverside Community (est.1941).

Our nourishing, delicious and beautifully presented meals feature house-cured wild meats, local produce, our own fresh, organic salad mixes, organic juices and café-baked bread and cakes. We also use fair trade coffee and feature local wines and a menu designed especially for the kids. Choose from our every-day menu or our blackboard specials, updated regularly. Vegetarian options are available.

Dine indoors or out – the café is set in a tranquil country-style garden with lovely mountain views and includes a children’s play area, sandpit, tiny stream and goldfish pond.

Discover local artwork with Ché Vincent’s stunning copper creations, and vibrant paintings by Bonnie Coad. And our shop features selections of locally made crafts, pickles, honey and jams.

A unique and delicious ethical dining experience.

Opening hours:
Thursday to Sunday, 9.30am-5pm for all-day breakfast and lunches; Friday and Saturday nights from 6pm for stylish dinners.

The Riverside Cafe licensed restaurant is situated on the historic Riverside Community on the Inland Moutere Highway, 7km from Motueka. Feel free to wander around the community after your meal.

We live in Kaiteriteri and have known about the Riverside Cafe but never eaten a meal there until today. My sister is over from Australia and she wanted to treat me for my birthday and boy what a treat.

I chose a beautifully presented stuffed free range chicken on a bed of roasted veg and new potatoes, the blend and juices where just devine.

My sister had the Salmon and was just as delighted and my neice had the vegaterian Lasagne. It was great going to a resturant that has so much vegaterian options and on top of that you know that the produce is organic, free range and healthy.

The only disadvantage is the meal was so perfect we didn’t find the room for a desert.

The atmosphire, the decore, the garden just everything was so special, I will definatly reccomend the Riverside and I can’t wait to go there again. Its a place to impress your friends!

Kakato Kai! (appetizing, delicious, flavoursome, nutritious, scrumptious food/meal) full of vitality and created with loving attention. Whakamihi (to praise, pay tribute to, congratulate, eulogise, thank, commend, acclaim, compliment, acknowledge) Rod for feeding us so well!

My favourite Nelson/Tasman Region Cafe!!
Good prices, great food, lovely setting.
Its nice to dine at a business that supports locals, I love that Riverside Cafe tries to source as much produce locally as possible and grows a lot of its own ingredients.

Simply stunning and a meal bursting with flavour. I had a BLT on gluten free bread with a side salad, followed up with a strawberry cheesecake.

Wonderful setting, lovely wait staff and very reasonably priced. I will definitely be back :-)
