Have Your Cake

In The River Cafe, we cook with exceptional ingredients. Prunes are soaked in Earl Grey tea and Vecchia Romagna for the Almond Tart; Virunga 70% chocolate enriches both the Chocolate Nemesis and Hazelnut Espresso Cake. Nuts are roasted before grinding, butter is from Italian buffalo milk, eggs are free range organic.

Have your cake and eat it.
For afternoon tea, dessert or breakfast.
