"I had read about the amazing food on offer at Tweed River House and when we were looking for somewhere to eat near Murwillumbah, they happily accommodated us for lunch….although I would book ahead in future. We opted for the 3 course meal, and we were delighted with the menu offerings, which were enough to give everyone an option but not overwhelming with choice. We enjoyed the Beef and Scallops for entree, the lobster and trout for mains and the Snickers and Banana for dessert. The beef entree was my unexpected favourite dish, with the perfect balance between the well seasoned and flavoured beef and the brioche to accompany…it makes me salivate just thinking about it. Each dish was beautifully presented and highlighted each curated ingredient deliciously. The service and ambience obviously adds to the experience as well as the gorgeous cocktails and other drinks available. You must visit Tweed River House if you live close by and if you don’t, make a day of it, you’ll love it too."

"Simply Excellent. We visited for Lunch experiencing the Summer menu from which we chose a more of a country style plating with the 3 courses, not opting for seafood, but I would love to try the next time I visit. Yes, there will be a next time. We were very welcomed by the staff, Fletcher, the restaurant manager was kind accommodating and very informative with the menu. The river view is encapsulating and sets the stage for some well presented food that has a rich and well composed flavours that ties the experience together. We ate; Entrees Pork + Seasonal Salad. My partner claimed the pork was some of the best she has eaten, accompanied with endive, we could have licked the plate clean. The salad had a lightly pickled pepo style variety with leaves and a macadamia cheese. Mains Beef + Venison. The venison had a rich flavour construct, perfectly cooked and seasoned with berry and beetroot and a delicious sauce that bound it (Highly recommend). The dark chocolate with the venison, don't be fooled here, this is a cacao base and light that compliments the dish, the berry brings sweetness and the cacao blends it with the meat. This was my favourite. The beef, cooked tender and large cut. Very country style flavours as I mentioned and each dish was sauced very well that it did not take the attention away from the protein. Dessert Banana flambé + Rhubarb panna cotta. We almost ordered another one of each. For the non-adventurous, the Banana Flambé is a no brainer, big win. The Rhubarb panna cotta however, was a great finish as summer flavours that was delicate, light and danced with flavour. Very happy with the whole experience and a great gem in the Tweed area. If you're a driver and diner, put this on your map. Book early was recommended from the staff. Looking forward to visiting again."

"This was an amazing experience of fine dining with the food presented like art works. We enjoyed the flavours of the Scallops, Trout, Lobster, Rhubarb panacotta and cheese. The meal sizes are not large but adequate. The service provided by Fletcher and the team was the best we have experienced in years and the setting absolutely beautiful with river views and interesting classical décor inside. We sat on the deck. This is a wonderful Restaurant and certainly provides a wonderful dining experience."

"What a treat in Murwillumbah with a gorgeous view of Mt Warning and Tweed River as a backdrop. I had the 3 course menu which was beautifully presented and each dish was explained by a lovely young girl Sienna. I love they acknowledge where the produce comes from in the local area. The Beef tartare was the best I have ever had."
