Cafe Riviere

John Thornton

This is small takeaway with a garden summerhouse shed next to it to sit and eat if preferred. We arrived after a long work that took us last Lula - that is a massive cafe but on this wet windy day it was full! Must be all those NY visitors. As we were parked at swimming pool carpark we tried Cafe Riviera. The menu is astonishing - so many choices and prices are reasonable. Luckily venue was quiet and our small group took over the “shed”. It’s a cosy space and nicely decorated. But if busy you could just eat in the car as carpark is merely feet away. The food ordered covered lots of options on the menu, including the full breakfast. It took a while to get thevfood but that was down to lots of orders all at once and the place being resourced by only one person to cook, take orders and process payments. With all this pressure it was a joy to get such good quality food. A few people left the queue as too much pressure on one member of staff. So if you do visit, you need to be patient or be lucky that place is quiet or has more staff. The venue is much more than a takeaway hot drink/cold drink/ice cream and hot rolls venue. It’s a big stretch to expect such an extensive menu to be covered by one person. It’s definitely worth a visit - just look at the menu in photos.

Came across this by chance and it's lovely. Really friendly staff, home made soups, free range eggs, sensible pricing and a must unusual little cafe. I'll be back on purpose.

Good home made food served in a delightful summer house...or at outdoor tables. Great food and drink at reasonable prices. Situated on Hayle Estuary road so just moments from the Estuary itself or Quay and beach. Really nice little place. Long may it remain.
