River Cafe

This is a hidden gem in Potchefstroom. First time here and visiting from Cape Town, I couldn’t believe the atmosphere and the incredible variety of Belgian beer on the menu! The Pizza menu is also very unique and a must do when visiting Potch! Great experience!Food: 5/5

I'm from Cape Town and I "discovered" the restaurant in 2022 when I was in Potch for a weekend. I was so impressed I promised myself I would return when I'm in Potch again. Went there tonight... a year later, but I'm as impressed as I was originally. Highly recommended. The only negative aspect is the flying insects but very little can be done as the restaurant is situated next to water where many of the insects live. So I don't see it as a negative aspect in my review.

Potchefstroom is a lovely town. Totally under estimated. One of the best universities NWU. I loved visiting River Cafe. So tranquil and great serviceFood: 5/5

Fantistic vibe, delicious food, will definitely be coming back regularly. I highly recommend at least going once, their alcohol selection is diverse, and their food menu is wonderful.

We always enjoy going to River Café for our pizza and wine nights! The atmosphere is great and the surroundings are beautiful! Friendly staff and their facilities is super clean!Food: 5/5

This cozy restaurant has left the best impressions! Hospitable hosts [Jassie] delicious dishes, beautiful presentation, wide beer list and wonderful dessert. I recommend to everyone! I would like to come back here again and again.

The one star is for the atmosphere and view. I was really disappointed in my visit to River Cafe. The food tasted as though it had been heated up from yesterday. The pizza was stale and the burger had heated up frozen chicken strips for R90. The waitress was incredibly rude too. This was my second visit and I don’t think I’ll be in a hurry to eat there again. If you’re looking for a nice vibe to have a drink then yes, this place is perfect. But I wouldn’t go there hungry.

Lovely food, good service. Relaxing atmosphere next to the dam. Spoilt for choice with a large selection of craft beers and gins.Food: 5/5

It is such a beautiful setting and a very peaceful atmosphere, the service was amazing and the food and drinks were good too. I enjoyed myself and would definitely recommend.

I don’t come to Potch often to be honest, but damn when you do..... The alcohol selection is, in a word, extensive, and in the good way! This place will tickle any fancy, and you have got to be on the deck. The view of the dam and overall area amazing. Did I mention the good service and pretty awesome food as well??
