Nestled in the heart of Cork City, The River Club stands as a beacon of modern European culinary excellence, celebrating the art of produce-focused cooking. With a commitment to sourcing the finest ingredients from Cork’s coastal landscapes and fertile farmlands, their menu undergoes seasonal transformations to offer a gastronomic journey that mirrors the freshest produce available. Beyond its reputation for contemporary European dining, The River Club beckons brunch enthusiasts looking for the Best Brunch in Cork City.

Dedicated menu The Juicery is brilliant for travelers looking for a jolt of raw, antioxidant wellness on the road (juice bars are much rarer in Europe than here in Australia). Signature blends like Graceful Greens (pear, rocket, cucumber, lemon, mint, kale, coco water), Greenwich (beetroot, apple, pomegranate, carrot and mint) and rich, creamy ‘Post-Workout’ malted shakes (the secret is the almond butter and dates) are as flavourful as they are guilt-free.

The River Club terrace will be operating extended opening hours for breakfast, lunch & brunch, and dinner from 8am-10pm daily with limited spaces for non-residents.
