My favourite place to eat and drink in Helensburgh by far. The steaks are delicious and the cocktails are great. Excellent staff, nothing is too much trouble. Would highly recommend to anyone looking for somewhere with a nice ambience to relax and enjoy a great meal.

Couldn't fault this place. Loved the decor & ambience. We popped in late Tuesday afternoon. Service was prompt, welcoming & waiter was attentive & informative re specials etc. I had a very tasty burger with fries & best coleslaw ever! Partner ordered the fish & chips. 2 portions fish arrived coated in a light & crispy batter with handcut chunky chips which looked & I was assured, tasted great! Think it was the owner of the establishment who came over to chat & made us very welcome. He also held door for us upon leaving. All in all, a very enjoyable experience with good food. Look forward to our next visit.

This is my favourite restaurant in Helensburgh by a long way! The food and service is always brilliant no matter whether it's breakfast lunch or dinner. Also a cracking place to meet people for a coffee or a drink. A real trendy and upper market feel.

Well done to the Riverhill team for giving us such a great meal last night. Everything was so beautifully cooked and brought to table speedily and efficiently. I am particularly grateful to Dominic for fulfilling a request for a special dish for the majority of my guests and to his super team for preparing that so well. All in all a fabulous night out for my family and friends. Well done to you all. We are so lucky to have you in Helensburgh.

Had the eggs with Avocado and the doubled up full Scottish Cannot complain about anything, everything was delicious, service was great, nice atmosphere and beautiful building. Bacon was really tasty, will definitely go again as I had planned to have one of their fancy hot chocolates, but couldn't possibly eat any more after that breakfast!

Great restaurant and I'm a local so been a few times and food, cocktails, wine are always great. Also great for coffee and brunch during the day and very kid friendly. Only suggestion is there could be more vegetarian choice as I think I only saw one. I'm not a veggie but just thinking if I was taking someone who was they wouldn't have much choice. Mind you my friend asked for mac and cheese off the lunch menu and they were very accommodating. And also the cauliflower starter is immense 😋

Very good place to spend some time on good food! Customers service really awesome, food tasty, atmosphere are fantastic, the interior is really unique. Only they could have more positions on menu cause after probably 2/3 times there will be nothing new for You to eat. Definitely worth to try!

Been here on many occasions highly recommend (even had out wedding meal here) The food is of a very high standard,fresh ingredients and a very tasty with decent portion size also and great options for dietary needs. Drinks are up ther with the standard of food, great selection of wines,spirits,beers and ofcourse cocktails wich are all very well made and the have a great selection. Staff are very on hand,attentive and have a very approachable attitude making asking for either another drink (if they haven't asled you first) or the bill quick and easy. Set over two levels, a great use of the small space the restaurant has to offer it also has outdoor seating,the atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, dont worry about being suited and booted but also don't worry if you are,the place has a high-end chilled vibe about it. Reservation are recommended here as its deservedly popular and gets a bit busy when it comes to peek times. If that's not your thing just ask when booking for ther more quieter times if that's what you'd prefer. If you find yourself in helensburgh this place is a must visit. For breakfast I recommend the eggs benedict. Lunch the riverhill gyros and dinner the steak or masala but any of the amazing burgers also 10/10

A wee 1st time visit to Helensburgh on the way to the hills, we were looking for somewhere nice for lunch. Wandered the town, and liked the look of the menu here. Happily, it turned out to be a brilliant choice! Lovely, bright and spacious inside. Nice and welcoming people with fantastic service all round. Great, tasty food. (And I don't often mention this, but immaculate toilets). The whole experience was fabby. Highly recommended.

I can’t believe it’s taken me years to try Riverhill. I lived In Helensburgh for years and never went. This was my first time & the tacos were so good.

Ah, the hidden jewel that is Riverhill Courtyard, nestled in an unassuming alley off the bustling main strip of quaint Helensburgh. Upon entry, the eye is drawn to the two-storey open plan kitchen and dining area—a modern-day hearth where culinary dreams take flight. The red brick walls and the Hammer Bell timber roof form a rustic cocoon, encapsulating the quaint charm and heartwarming aura of a countryside retreat. The casual yet warm greetings at the threshold might catch one off-guard with their loose formalities, a soft dance on the edge of tradition and contemporary hospitality. Yet, the grind of house staff swiftly shatter any inkling of pretentiousness with their sweet demeanor and earnest endeavors to please. The meal that followed was nothing short of a triumph. From starter to dessert, each course was an ode to the simple joys of well-cooked food. The olives were a humble yet hearty overture, the KFC cauliflower a playful romp in a field of textures, and oh, the Toblerone Martinis—a sweet, chocolaty finale that left a whisper of warmth as the night unfolded. Each bite was a gentle journey into the heart of comfort cuisine, each sip a soft caress of the soul’s longing for sweet, simple indulgences. Riverhill Courtyard is where the heart finds a beat resonating with the old and the new, a delightful bridge between the rustic charm of Helensburgh and the modern whimsy of contemporary dining. So if your culinary heart seeks a respite from the mundane, a stroll down the comforting lanes of well-cooked meals, Riverhill Courtyard awaits with open arms and a table set just for you. Venture into the heart of Helensburgh, and let the sweet, unassuming charm of Riverview Courtyard be your companion in a delightful evening of gastronomic contentment.

Easily one of the best restaurants I’ve been to in the UK. Food was outstanding. Waiter so quick and friendlier than I could wish for. The atmosphere was cool and I would definitely come here again if I’m in the area.

My first time here, for lunch today. WOW. Excellent food. Unbelievably flavoursome. The pakora was outstanding with a lovely dip. The chicken shawarma was just delicious! I will definitely be back! I need more off this menu! Very pleasant surroundings too. Thoroughly recommended! 10/10. Had the baha fish tacos on my latest visit. Just delicious! Any back here for breakfast... just amazing. Had the double big breakfast, which is not for the faint hearted, and the FOUR eggs had to be served on a separate plate...

Enjoyed a lovely meal here last week. They were able to adapt the menu to accommodate my need for gluten free and vegetarian options. Staff were lovely.
