Two of us had lunch outside in the sunshine. The beef burger was just about the best I have had. The Japanese Ramen noodles were a really great vegetarian option. Nice not to be offered the usual vegetarian fare. Everyone friendly and helpful. Service was really timely. Nice relaxed atmosphere. Hope to be back next holiday.

Visited on the 17th of May during a boys weekend. Despite us being in rather " jovial spirits" our hostess looked after us beautifully. The food was first class from starters to desserts. We would definitely return and have no concerns recommending the Riverside to anyone. Relaxed and informal surroundings with attentive, friendly service made this a very pleasant experience... More

Visiting North Devon we are always so pleased to have a great choice of food places to eat. We thought we had been to the Riverside before, but after experiencing the food, and fun of the staff and management, we would have definitely remembered if we'd been there before!! This seems a locals eatery, and i can see why, quick... More

We came across The Riverside quite by accident in the last few days. All I can say, for once, is a traffic jam paid dividends. We stopped for lunch and had such an excellent snack that we booked a table for the following evening (although we were staying about 18 miles away). The menu suggested a taste explosion would be...

Braunton may be one of the largest villages in the Country. Riverside restaurant is situated alongside the river Caen that runs through the village. It is a family run business open early for breakfast to late for dinner. Every attempt appears to be made to acquire fresh local produce. The menu is imaginative offering a wide choice of English and... More

We asked where would be good to have dinner when we were in the London Inn, and we got a resounding response from the staff....."The Riverside" Best recommendation we've ever had for dinner. It was totally spot on! Food, drink and service were all top drawer. We had the Salmon & Salt Cod fish cakes and Seared Wood Pigeon breasts... More

We had a job to get a booking for four for dinner at Easter. We were told that it had changed hands last year and was probably the best food in North Devon. The owner, Hayley, knew us from another place she had worked at from before and gave royal treatment. Later we saw that everyone else was special as... More

The initial impression you get from the front of the retaurant is not that exciting and then you go down the side to see the lovely riverside location and resident ducks. On entering the decor inside is really lovely, modern, clean and welcoming. We had one of best ever meals here last week while staying in Woolacombe for the week... More

Came here with my family and we all ordered a different dish. We were all delighted with our food, I had the club sandwich, one of the best I have ever had.
