Why it's worth checking out

River - Wild at Heart sits on Mullumbimbi Street in Brunswick Heads, the charming riverside-and-beach village just north of Byron Bay. An acclaimed restaurant, it's earned an outstanding, near-flawless reputation — combining accomplished, quality cooking with good drinks and a relaxed, characterful setting, the kind of standout spot that's become a genuine destination in the lovely Northern Rivers village.

The appeal is that combination of inventive, quality food, a good drinks offering and a warm, characterful atmosphere in the gorgeous village of Brunswick Heads, ideal for a special dinner, a relaxed meal or a memorable food experience while exploring the coast. In a village with a growing reputation for good food, an acclaimed spot really stands out, and the near-perfect feedback speaks to a kitchen genuinely delighting its diners.

A 4.9 rating from more than 160 reviews is an excellent result and a strong sign of a kitchen and team operating at a high level. Menus, drinks lists, opening hours and pricing change with the seasons, and an acclaimed, sought-after spot books out, so it's worth checking current details and reserving a table directly well ahead — particularly for a weekend, a group or a table at a peak time in Brunswick Heads.
