Riverbend Restaurant & Terrace Bar — All-Day Dining

Breakfast from 6:30, proper burgers and steaks till 10, and a terrace bar with the best sunset seat in Banora Point — no booking gymnastics needed.

This is the everyday engine room: hotel breakfast, lunch between meetings, dinner before the tables, cocktails after. Walk-ins always welcome at the bar.

Overview

Where the whole building ends up

Riverbend is the big, easy dining room on the ground floor — buffet-plus-menu breakfast in the morning, pub classics done properly through the day, and steaks off the grill at night. The terrace bar wraps the river side with lounges and a serious whisky shelf.

Locals treat it as their local — which tells you the pricing is honest. Hotel guests charge everything to the room; gaming floor players get table service at the bar rail.

FAQ

Common questions

Still unsure? Message the team — we answer fast.

Bar and terrace — never. Dining room for Friday/Saturday dinner — smart to book, but we keep walk-in tables back.

Until 8 pm, yes — real kids' menu, high chairs, zero eye-rolls from staff. After 8 it's an adults' room.

Vegan, gluten-free and coeliac-safe options are marked on the menu — the kitchen actually takes them seriously.

Drinks come to you on the floor — flag a host or order at the bar rail. RSA applies, obviously.

Friday nights and Sunday afternoons on the terrace, weather permitting. Free entry, always local acts.

Sunset terrace seats don't wait

Book the dining room for peak dinner times, or just roll up to the bar — either way, we'll look after you.
