Excellent food, great wine, superb service. We had a beef filet and fish as mains. They were both terrific. The service was perfect and the wine was terrific.The mains were very creative and perfectly cooked. We had two appetizers that were awesome also.The pinot and chardonnays were both wonderful.
Great food, service and atmospheric. Food is cooked to order but service is still quick. Great setting and for the quality of food not too pricey. Bonus is wine is only available here from the vineyard next door -you need to try it. My advice just go you will love it
This restaurant is a must.It’s charming and elegant. The staff are friendly and professional. The wine list is extensive, yet I chose to sample their wine from their vineyard and what a smart decision that was. Their wine is sensational!Food is great and more importantly fresh – it’s seasonal and reflects the local available produce.Enjoy, I certainly did!
An unexpected surprise that made for a great end to the day of fishing. My friend and I were fishing on the Tongariro River for the day and staying at a local B&B. We asked for a recommendation and they pointed us to River Restaurant just outside Turangi which we were not aware of.The menu was suitably broad and consisted of some imaginative flavour combinations. Being rather hungry we started with the home made mushroom soup which hit the spot! I then had the lamb shank and my mate had the home made pasta both of which we enjoyed and returned empty plates! We were making light work of their rather nice River Wine, we made light work of two bottles of Pinot Noir 2007. We did not have room for desert but others seemed to enjoy theirs. The decor is nice, the place clean. Staff were friendly, nice to see young people developing their own business.Good luck!
In Wellington for a short break, we extended our stay and were delighted to find River Wines and Restaurant. We often feel spoiled for choice in AU, but the food, wine and service at River Wines exceeded our expectations! Great Food, Great Wine, Great Atmosphere!
My wife and I live in Adelaide, Australia and are spoilt by great food and world class wines. However i must say that during our recent holiday in New Zealand we were extremely impressed with both the food and wines at River Wines & Restaurant. The atmosphere was fantastic. The restaurant was classy yet unpretentious whilst the food and wine really were first class and excellent value for money.I strongly recommend anyone visiting this lovely area to at least try these great wines, but if like me you love great food reserve at table for dinner as this place is surely only going to get busier.Andy Briggs (Adelaide)
Stunning setting with great cuisine.Hope they can keep this up.Good for the Turangi restaurant scene
