Rivers Licensed Cafe & Restaurant

Good range of food and drink options, can get a little busy but this just show how popular it is I'm sure. Good wee outdoor area for the kids which was a life saver travelling from down south.

We always stop here on our journey from the Coast to Picton. Good food, friendly atmosphere. The coffee is usually good, not so great this time. Barista must have been having a bad day.

Stopped here for lunch on our way back to Christchurch after it was recommended to us by a family member. We were very impressed with the food selection and everything we ordered was tasty and came out within 15 minutes. There was lots of comfy seating and the staff were all friendly and helpful. Would definitely go back if passing through!

Two visits this past holiday. A wonderful lemon muffin (it was so yellow nearly glowed in the dark but was delicious) and a Chicken and cranberry bagel, a little disappointing the bagel wasn't listed as pumpkin seeded but was still an enjoyable bite and given the opportunity would order again. Just on a different bagel.
