My go-to dishes are the Eton mess pancakes or the veggie breakfast wrap, which are always delicious. Despite the fact that it is always bustling with students on both weekdays and weekends, I've noticed that the wait is typically not too long.

The scenic view alone makes it worth a visit, but it's the brunch menu that steals the show. Their specialty? Massive stacks of pancakes that come in two sizes: two stacks or four stacks. Trust me, go for the two stacks if you're dining solo; the four stacks are a challenge even for the hungriest brunch enthusiasts! My friend and I opted for four stacks each, and we were not disappointed. I indulged in the chocolate indulgence pancakes, which were heavenly, while my friend savored the Banoffee pie pancakes. Both were incredibly delicious. To complement our meal, I enjoyed an oat flat white that hit all the right notes. One thing to note is that while the ambiance is welcoming and child-friendly, accessibility might be an issue for some as the cafe is only accessible by walking down stairs on the side of the bridge. Overall, Riverview Kitchen offers a delightful brunch experience with picturesque views, delicious food, and a cozy atmosphere that's perfect for any morning outing.
