River is more than a restaurant; it’s a celebration of place, produce and personal journey. Founded by multi-award-winning Scottish chef Michael Lee and lifelong friend Sean Monaghan, River showcases the finest Northern Rivers ingredients through creative modern Australian cuisine. Guided by the ethos “Wild at Heart, Local by Nature,” seasonal menus honour local growers, producers, the land, river and ocean. With chef hats awarded consecutively since 2017, Michael’s beautifully presented dishes champion sustainability and bold flavour, while collaborative events bring artisans, chefs and winemakers together in community.
Open Thur 5pm–9pm. Fri, Sat and Sun 12pm–9pm (closed 4pm-5pm).
