What a great find! Lovely and welcoming and the Caribbean food was delicious. My husband and I both had the mutton curry with plantain. The meat was so tender and the spices were blended really well to make this a really tasty meal. We had cocktails too which were very nice. Dominic who served was v
Authentic 5 star French Carribbean cuisine in an atmosphere that is true to the Islands of the Carribbean. One in our group had the best jerk pork ribs of his life. Other dinners were equally amazing. By the time we left we felt we were lifetime friends with the truly talented chef and the manager.
Amazing food, with plenty of options to suit all dietary requirements. Allergens were listed on the menu, not a little sheet kept behind the counter like many other places, which was brilliant. Lovely staff, and a great atmosphere.
Had a delicious meal at riveRLife at the weekend. Excellent menu with French Caribbean influence and prices very good with a £24.95 for 3 Courses menu as well as a la carte. The Oxtail Ragout and Mutton Curry was delicious! Note that the oxtail ragout is served on the bone and you need to flake the
Gorgeous, authentic French-Caribbean cuisine which packs a punch! Between us we sampled four main dishes and really enjoyed them - we finished all of them. Our favourites were the duck and the ox tail ragu - the latter truly blew us away. Must try!
Overall it was a very pleasant dining experience, t
First time here and what a find. Menu was superb and the Coconut and Almond White Fish was excellent. Liked the different menu options, giving 2 of 3 course options. Was there on a Thursday evening ant it was quiet, WHY, this place is absolutely superb
Amazing visit!
Cannot compliment the food enough, we went for a two course deal and absolutely loved all of our dishes.
Veggie options that are delicious and massive portions! Staff were fab, loved our waiter and the cook, super attentive and friendly. Definitely coming back again for more :) HIGHLY
Everything we had was well cooked and tasted good. I wish they did a tapas style menu so I could try a few of the dishes at once. Lots of things I'd never heard of so was hard to choose which one to sample! Lunch menu looks great value for money (we were there for dinner)
I have been a customer in the past, but since I moved to the other end of the town I didn't have many occasion to have a meal here. I proposed Riverlife to my manager for a night out organized by the company, because I was 100% sure this place can deliver! The food is just delicious and the wonderfu
Absolutely lovely. Excellent people and excellent food! I had the mutton curry and then the chocolate sponge - both were actually fantastic.
Would come here every day if I could!!
A complete chance find due to missing a bus, but I have never been happier to miss a bus with hindsight! I can't stress enough how good this place was. The food was absolutely incredible at such good value, and the staff were incredibly friendly!
Great restaurant, staff very friendly. Menu says what's gluten and dairy free. Jerk chicken was full of flavour, husband loved the mutton curry, very tender meat.Byob, shop just round the corner.
WOW! Some of the very best food I've had in Edinburgh- beautifully prepared. Excellent service, lovely ambiance, good music. This is a gourmet delight. Every one of our three courses was such a treat. Unusual dishes and flavours all perfectly combined. Loved it! Ten stars!
Blew my expectations, authentic flavours, very tasty and great prices! Really enjoyed my takeaway especially the Mac and cheese and oxtail!
It’s been two years and the food and service has gotten worse. The second and third time we ordered the potions were small and food was burnt.
Great little restaurant with everything Caribbean - tasty food, delicious cocktails and a really great host. Tuesday 18 July 2023
My partner had booked us a table for the evening at Riverlife because he knew that I was missing having readily available Caribbean food and I am so glad that he did. I had the Lentil Broth and the Fried Plantain and my food was delicious. The music that was playing was impossible not to move to a l
Always a pleasure to dine here, with the most beautiful mutton dishes and good selection of wines.
Great food, very reasonable price especially for the 2-course set menu deal, very friendly service
