about
river cafè
Located immediately below the
Red Ochre Barrel and Grill,
the River Cafè has Adelaide’s most superb city location. A floating pavilion, literally sitting on the water, the restaurant has beautiful river views and wonderful night time city views from every seat in the restaurant. River Cafè is one of those rare restaurants that is as atmospheric during the daylight hours as it is as night.
At River Cafè on hot days the windows roll away to give a really magical dining experience but equally transposes to cosy on cold wintery days that start with a drinks around the fireplace at our bar.
The River Cafè aand the Red Ochre Barrel + Grill are just a 10-minute walk along the River Torrens from the Adelaide Festival Centre and a 10-minute cab ride from any city hotel. This is a well-lit and very safe walkway. We also have ample free parking. Whilst the Red Ochre Grill does not have disabled access, the River Cafè has disabled access to all dining levels and guests can alight immediately in front of our main entrance.
modern mediterranean river cafè
We keep it simple, keep it flavoursome,
keep it local and above all keep it fresh!
South Australia with its Mediterranean climate feeds our love of the food of the Mediterranean.
What does ‘modern Mediterranean’ mean? Well it means our kitchen is forever excited and they love taking diners from Morocco, to Spain, to Italy, Greece, Turkey and north African coast depending on the season.
Robust tasty wine friendly food where you are invited to share food or covet your own as suits you.

have a
party
There are endless opportunities for a party at the River Cafè and dozens of possible style variations; a cocktail party with roving food and drinks selected from our a la carte menu but in miniature, a sit-down chef’s menu with a drinks package or grazing table served by one of our chefs.
Equally the tiered nature of seating in the restaurant makes River Cafè a terrific venue for a theatre type seminar that can be followed with or have an interval of perfectly pitched food and beverage.
We have full audio-visual facilities and stable wifi.
If you are looking for private dining or meeting space, we have a stylish private dining room that seats a maximum of 35 guests in our sibling restaurant the Red Ochre Barrel + Grill [located on the first floor] please click here for details
