The River Cafe

Beautiful waterfront cafe!
It is a great and relax venue to enjoy their excellent food and services with peaceful waterfront view.

The meals offered are reasonably priced, are a good portion and yummy. There is outdoor seating available for those who can withstand the icy Tassie winds. If you want to sit inside you would have to endure very noisy everything: Shocking acoustic interior design, ear piercing coffee machine noise, and personnel that is used to using a raised voice that is normally needed in a weekend bar or discotheque of sorts. Which it maybe tries to emulate with the deafening music blaring from the ceiling.
They advertise free wifi but that requires a login, and staff have no idea about the login details.
Won't come again.

Still a great location for a meal, staff were friendly and informative, fish and chips were good but not as good as we have had before, not enough seasoning on chips, salad dressing lacking in flavour. New owners are on the money, keep up the good work.

Made a random trip to The River Cafe and tried their "The Big Breakfast" meal which was cooked to perfection and tasted amazing! Definitely would recommend making a trip to this cafe again!

Cheerful, happy reception staff who welcomed us for a Birthday lunch.
Beautiful food. Delicious seafood.

Best fish and chips we’ve had in ages. We got takeaway and sat opposite the cafe on the waterfront. Perfect!

Lovely picturesque place to go for a coffee but you get the distinct impression they don't want you there just for a coffee, felt very pressured to order a meal when all we wanted was a coffee. Well made coffee just back off a little "new owners".

Four of us had a beautiful lunch. The food was exceptional and the Vittoria coffee was the best I found in Tassie in our travels. We had Steak Sandwich and chips, a Ruben sandwich and 2 Thai beef salad. We all loved the food. I had a desert also to go with my 2 coffees.
The staff are very friendly and the outlook over the ships at anchor was just a perfect setting for a lovely lunch. Indoor or outdoor dining are available. Wine licence also. Enjoy.

Lovely breakfast chosen from a great menu, very welcome after a lovely walk. Unfortunately can't comment on the coffee as the whole community suffered a power cut before it could be served! The coffees served to others as we ate, however, looked good. Will definitely return for both breakfast and lunch!

Bloody unreal feed amazing hospitality and the beers are ice cold.thank you guys for Xmas lunch it honestly saved us cleaning our house

Delightful local cafe, great coffee, good service. Has a delicious steak sandwich and banana bread. Also a lovely view of the river if you sit outside!

Please do yourself a favour and don't order the over priced seafood platter for two as it doesn't come with smoked salmon. More like a Seafood Basket and for $75 I'd expect more!

Best poached egg on toast I had for many a time in a very friendly cafe. A bonus to have their own toilets too.

Situated on a bank looking over the Tamar river this place is great for sitting back and enjoying good value food and drink.
The coffee is up there with the best that I've ever had. The cater for just a cup of coffee through to a full meal. The portions are very generous and the staff display a very happy and friendly disposition.
I was very happy with my visit and would thoroughly recommend it.

Great service and staff. Lovely location overlooking the river. My Fish & Chips, and the wife's Scallops were sensational. Highly recommended.

The River Cafe is a little gem with breathtaking views of the Tamar River. The service was amazing and it is very clear the owners love what they do and is visible with the quality of food offered. I ordered the fish and chips, and can honestly say it was the best dish I’ve ever eaten. I would highly recommend this place to anyone even if seafood is not your cup of tea.

Love food and friendly staff, outing the middle of nowhere.
Recommend stopping if you're driving past.

We had lunch here, it feels like a try hard restaurant, for starters they don't know the difference between diet coke and coke no sugar. Ordered coke no sugar got diet coke - hate diet coke. Then the meals came out, 1 Rebuens Sandwich and 1 Vegie stack. Whoever did there take in a Rubuens Sandwich has never had one before and was a bad interruption of one, a Rubuens is not smothered in mustard in fact it has no mustard on it. The Vegie stack was way over Masterchief, whilst nice to eat it had elements on the plate that did nothing for the dish, but probably looks good in a picture. This place needs to just give good honest meals instead of the current Masterchief menu offerings it's doing at present.

This is a beautiful, peaceful spot with great views for a quick bite and excellent, friendly staff. We love coming back here every time we are in Launceston.
