Rivers Licensed Cafe & Restaurant

We had breakfast on a cold wintry morning in Murchison and this is a hidden gem. Don’t mind driving 50 kms to have food here. It’s not only the firewood which makes the place cost and warm but the staff also is excellent. The breakfast menu is par excellence and everything is super. Don’t miss the scones and muffins and cookies. Avoid lunch after you had breakfast here

Rivers Cafe is up a side street in Murchison 2hrs from Nelson on state highway 6 to the Lewis Pass travelling South . It is Amazing & fabulous food , great friendly helpful staff ,the fire was going & a lovely warm atmosphere , had a lovely brunch & great coffee , they have takeaway food as well . It is a very funky cafe . It has great art work . Would highly Recommend & would defiantly go back .

Outstanding selection of cabinet food and cooked-to-order meals. I had the satay chicken, which was delicious and came with a very fresh salad. Great place to stop just before or after the Lewis Pass.

Really nice spot for lunch & great staff. Usually stop here on our way through the Lewis Pass.

Great range of both cabinet food and menu items. Always buzzing! Definitely recommend
