About The Riverbar Steakhouse and Grill

Sitting right on the River Cam, this is a smarter, grown-up sort of steakhouse that still makes room for children — there's a kids' menu and high chairs, and the team have a reputation for being attentive and genuinely warm, which counts for a lot when you arrive with a tired toddler. The steaks are what people come back for: the fillet and the 10oz ribeye get rapturous write-ups, and the scotch egg starter, grilled halloumi and whole grilled lobster all have their fans. Puddings — brownies, cheesecake — are worth saving room for. Worth knowing: it's £££, it's more date-night and celebration territory than casual family lunch, meat can occasionally arrive cooked slightly off the mark, and you'll want to book. In warmer months the riverside setting is the real draw.
