Top-notch place. Have been here a few times and really enjoyed it, although never reviewed it. First thing is, of course, the fabulous location on the river. You can sit with a cocktail or beer and admire the river comings and goings under clear blue skies. It does get very busy in the summer so it was a pleasant change to get a prime spot table straight off on the second day of winter, 2nd June! Secondly, sadly I don't know his name but there was a very friendly bartender from Bristol who made our visit so great. He asked where I was from and we had an interesting chat. Also, the person who brought our food over to us also gave us beer mats, something which seems to be unheard of in these parts. Thank you to both 😊 The Riverbar & Kitchen is easily accessible by the CityCat or on foot. We noticed that the menu had slight changes but that's no bad thing! Finally, the food! Oh yummy 😋 I had the grilled barramundi with roasted tomatoes, capers and olives. So tasty and highly recommended. My husband had the tuna tostada with avocado and coriander, which was equally delicious. All in all, a very must-go-to destination on a visit to Brisbane.
This location offers a new view on the river downtown Brisbane, the staff is friendly and the cocktails are good. We spent A$68 for 4 drinks. The whole river side is a wheelchair accessible including the location.
After exiting the ferry at Riverside Wharf from Regatta Wharf we decided on visiting Riverbar & Kitchen Cafe, we ordered two full breakfasts & two drinks. Waited around 20 min's before being served from the friendly staff. Absolutely delicious in taste & well cooked & good portion size meals. Complementary Water served & a nice relaxing atmosphere opposite the river. Menu prices are reasonable & we highly recommend dining at this business for all ages.
The two of us had pre-booked a table to celebrate a special occasion and were greeted and seated almost immediately. We had a fantastic riverside view and the vibe was great. The service was quick and friendly, and our waitress was very helpful with the menu, taking careful note of my food allergies. The calamari was cooked to perfection, the beer-battered fish and chips were crisp and fresh, and the barramundi was fresh with perfectly crispy skin. We really enjoyed our meal along with our drinks. Thank you — we’ll definitely be back again!
A nice location however sadly that doesn’t make up for the food or the service. The beef burger was pretty bland with an overwhelming taste of cheese and sauce but the patty was super dry and chips left begging for seasoning. To be fair, the chips were well cooked but were left begging for some salt and considering the cost of the meal, was overall disappointing. The pizza wasn’t amazing either with the outside crust quite nice but was undercooked in the centre. Despite the lack of flavour and being undercooked, the biggest problem was it was dripping in oil. The service was pretty dismal. Although all ordered at the same time, the drink arrived just in time for the final chip. At least it made it easy to wash down. The cleanliness was a bit of a problem but at least the birds got to enjoy one of the chips that the staff had dropped when serving. Overall my thoughts on Riverbar was it’s one of those restaurants that concentrated on location, want to charge people top dollar but end up being a complete disappointment.
