We took my friend here for her birthday (she is vegan) and it was amazing for her to not have to worry about picking something on the menu that she could eat or having to double check with the waiter. The food was fantastic! We had the burrito, the Japanese omelette and the falafel salad (which is not just a salad, it’s a platter and huge! Definitely did not need the side order of chips!) we each tried a bit of each other’s and everything was delicious. Even the side salad on the plates was well thought out and tasty! Deserts were an absolute hit too. The banana donuts were incredible, as was the chocolate and ginger cup. As a meat eater, I can honestly say it’s one of the best meals I’ve had out in Norwich and I know this is echoed by my other meat eating friend and my vegan friend. We went last night and we’re all still commenting on it! Polite, friendly and funny service from the waitress/waiter too. The only downside I can see is the parking might be a bit scarce at times but who cares when the food is that good!!
An excellent meal enjoyed at my first visit here. Such gorgeous food! Loved everything and all gluten free for me. The best pasta dish I've ever had in a restaurant, ever. And the banana dough balls were simply delicious!!! Definitely recommend and will be returning...
Had a lovely meal last night, the place was full, staff friendly and a good selection of interesting food from the menu.
Highly recommend people to make the effort to come and eat at this quality cafe.
Absolutely excellent vegan food! I had the 'ishcake. . Quite literally one of the best vegan, gluten free meals I've had in a long long time. And I live in Brighton (which is saying something). And the young guy that works there is rather good looking too!
Highly recommend! I also saw that they do cookery classes!
What gorgeous food! I'm not a vegetarian but I loved it. We had a BWN Team meeting here and so wanted to have fast service and time and space to chat. It was perfect, not too loud, lovely seating, great staff and fabulous food. I highly recommend it!
Some of the best and most beautiful food I've ever had. Always great service. Great vegan wine menu (the rioja is delicious). Hopefully this goes without saying.......you don't need to be vegetarian or vegan to enjoy amazing food!
Tasty food, great variety in the menu, friendly staff, would recommend to vegetarian, vegans and anyone for that matter!
Fantastic food, lovely staff and would recommend a visit. They even made my daughter a vegan birthday cake which was amazing. Thank you
The best vegan meal I've had in months!! Fabulous mushroom Wellington, and the desserts were a difficult choice, all sounding great. I feel well fed � lovely place, great service and generally marvellous! Can't wait to visit again.
Extremely happy with the food and meal tonight! Amazing and delicious! Lovely to be able to have food with being lactose intolerant (and gluten free) that I don’t have to worry about! Thank you! Amazing!
We had been intending to visit River Green for a while and finally got round to it on my birthday. We had lunch there. We are both very pleased we went -it was a lovely atmosphere with friendly and efficient staff and delicious food, beautifully presented. We will definitely be back!
The most helpful staff possible, relaxed atmosphere and an entire vegan menu!! I will be returning to try my next taste sensation 😊😊
Fantastic food and great service!!!!! Can't believe I've waited so long to get here and got overly excited at the vegan mocha - amazing!!!! Tried Jackfruit for the first time too!!! Thank you for a lovely evening 😘
Me and my hubby were at river green yesterday for the first time, my son Jamie Hetherington is a chef there and the food he served us was lovely and so tasty we will be returning very soon, thank you for a superb meal Jamie.
After searching hi and low for a restaurant that caters to my needs, I found River Green Cafe. The meals have large portions and reasonably priced. I would return again without a doubt.
Had a superb meal here today. Spoilt for choice as a vegan. Friendly and helpful staff too.
I went here just over a couple weeks ago for my birthday. We were a party of 4 and got sat on a really beautiful, fairy lit round table which we couldn’t believe was so lovely. The staff were brilliant. All very attentive and personable. We felt very cared for throughout the evening, it was fabulous service. So much so I’ve kept meaning to leave this review. They left quite the impression. Our table were 2 vegans and 2 meat eaters and all of us were extremely pleased with the food. I tried bits of each meal and have to say the Glazed Okonomiyaki was beautiful, the pancake was insane. What really was a treat was the slice of cake they brought out for me after discovering it was my birthday at the end. They made my evening feel truly special and left us all singing their praises. We will be coming back and recommending them to anybody and everybody. Thank you so much Rivergreen for a truly memorable evening, we had the most fabulous time.
I've never had a better vegan meal.
All of the food I ordered had clearly prepared with care and thought.
The price point is on the more expensive side but is well worth it. I cannot stress enough just how amazing this experience was.
First things first, the food is brilliant. None of us 4 were vegans yet we were all delighted by the meals we had. The Wellington, Okonimiyaki, Leek Tart and Katsu all exceeded our expectations. I would say you have more reason to go here and experience true plant based eating if you aren't vegan. Our desserts were also delicious, the Sundae, affogato and pear brownie. The chef also came out to say hello, which was lovely. The only things that were more towards average were the speed of service in front of house and the atmosphere. Nothing special there. I definitely want to go back and try more of the dishes, especially the Christmas menu! Compliments to the chef, you really stand out from the rest.
Fantastic vegan fine dining. Cosy restaurant with fantastic varied original menu. Was very impressed. My favourite was the satay noodles!
Great restaurant - delicious food, relaxed atmosphere, friendly staff, and good value. Three of us had the mushroom wellington, and this was excellent, and one of us went for the katsu squash, which he thoroughly enjoyed. The chocolate sundae and apple, date and ginger crumble are also highly recommended. I'm very much not a vegan but I'd definitely eat here again.
What a great restaurant! Everything was really lovely. The place is cosy and welcoming, the toilets were spotless (and unisex! Yay for inclusivity!) .
The food was also delicious, I really struggled to decide what to pick as everything was interesting and appealing.
The waiters were the perfect amount of warmth and presence without being suffocating.
Really recommend a visit, thank you for a lovely experience ❤️
Incredible Vegan Food - by far the best we’ve had yet - great service, excellent selection of beers - an absolute must visit even if you’re not Veggie/Vegan
Went here for our Son's 18 birthday, just a quiet dinner with a friend who is non-vegan. Wonderful meal as always, our friend was most impressed with his curry and the eaton mess for afters. Love that the menu changes frequently with a few staples. Excellent service, food different and inventive and above all delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant for vegan and non-vegans to enjoy good food.
We've been to Rivergreen a few times now and have enjoyed every experience. There are a range of options to suit different tastes and I always find the meals so full of flavour. Often vegan food isn't worth eating out for as it's normally not the best quality but the food at Rivergreen is such good quality and the ingredients are so fresh and full of flavour. I love that they use locally grown ingredients. The restaurant is lovely and has a relaxed feel. I find it very sensory friendly and is never too overwhelmingly busy and love being able to see put over the park through the big windows.
An incredible eating experience. The staff were pleasant and attentive, especially to diatery restrictions, highlighting and noting any previously specified ones on our menu. The food was also to a very high standard, celebrating local and fresh ingredients. The chocolate and coffee tart is a stand out, balancing the two flavours to perfection. As a non-vegan I didn't feel like anything was missing from my plate - the highest praise I can give. As for atmosphere, the music was at the perfect volume allowing for good conversation without feeling like you were being overheard.
Can recommend River Green Restaurant enough for it's attentive staff and outstanding food.
