The restaurant boasts a stunning setting, with lush greenery and a picturesque river flowing beneath a bridge. I have a fond appreciation for quality fish, and this place certainly lived up to my expectations. Having dined on the coast of Scotland before, I had high standards, but the fish here was on par with the best I've had. I highly recommend this spot!
Dinner at The River Run turned our casual outing into a delightful reality. The food was exquisitely prepared, the atmosphere was perfect, and the service was impeccable. I usually take more photos of our meals, but we arrived a bit hungry and lost track of time while exploring the park. Suffice it to say, we were so eager to dive into our dishes that I forgot to capture their early stages. After just one bite, I turned to the others and asked, "So, when are we coming back?" We ordered the salmon and their butter chicken, while our child enjoyed the chicken wings and Parmesan fries, which they loved. We are all looking forward not only to returning to the city but, above all, to this gem of a restaurant!
Fabulous little restaurant tucked away next to a golf course. Creative menu with lots of delicious options. The Langosh appetizer was absolutely mouthwatering, and both of us enjoyed our made entrees as well. I don't know what they do to their french fries, but they are incredible. This is where the fun of travel happens, when you run into these little spots of paradise inadvertently. Definitely will be going back.
We had Korean BBQ pork and Classic Schnitzel. Their food is just amazing. Can not be better. It was the best Korean food I have ever had in Canada. I can come back to this town just for the food at this restaurant. The hostess was super nice and we felt very pleased to dine in.
My sister recently moved to Goderich and while visiting her, we got take out. I'm so happy we did. Everything was absolutely delicious and the portions were huge. I wished I lived closer, I'd be a regular.

Start with a lovely setting. The greens with the river running under the bridge make the setting. I appreciate good fish and was not disappointed. Having been wowed previously on the coast of Scotland the bar was high. As good as any I've hadanywhere. Highly recommended!
If this place is any indication of how incredible the rest of Goderich is, then I have to make it a point to stop here again some time, and not just for dinner. I had the Cosmonaut to drink, the Seared Salmon entree, and my wife got the Sundried TomatoPesto Linguine with Salmon on top. We split a cheesecake for dessert. Everything was insanely good. It's tucked away next to thegolf course, you have to go to the north edge of town and under a stone bridge to get there, don't let the remoteness of itfreak you out.
We recently relocated from Toronto to a small town just under an hour away from Goderich and decided to make the most of our summer break and visit the city which we'd heard many good things about. We were initially hoping for a day by the water, but itjust wasn't hot enough for swimming, so we decided to just do dinner and a brief stop to take in a few sights with tentativeplans to go back soon. Dinner at The River Run took our plans for return out of the realm of tentative and right into a firmreality. The food was exquisitely prepared, the ambiance perfect and the service impeccable. I would ordinarily have way morephotos of our meals, but we arrived a smidgen hungry and had got lost en route from the park. Sufficed to say, we were allanxious to tuck into what was in front of us that I was unable to capture or main courses in their before stages. After only oneforkful, I asked the others, ?OK, so when are we coming back?? We ordered the Salmon and their Butter Chicken, our kiddo hadChicken Wings and Parmesan fries and enjoyed the dish very much. We all look forward to returning to not just the city, butmost especially this gem of a restaurant!
I lunched at this restaurant for the first time yesterday and will definitely be back. What a gem. It is nestled next to the Maitland River with lovely views. Had the burger with fries; the burger was excellent, made from scratch. The fries OMG were thebest! The service was perfect. Can't wait to go back and will leave room for dessert!

In my opinion, River Run is the best restaurant in town. The staff is very knowledgeable and attentive when it comes to gluten allergies, which is especially important since my girlfriend has celiac disease. We've always had a trouble-free dining experience here.
The pork schnitzel and fries are cooked in a separate fryer, guaranteeing excellent flavor. The schnitzel's breading was light and perfectly crispy.
