River Cafe is the breakfast and lunch spot within the historic Riverside Inn, a recently renovated hotel-restaurant-liquor store complex perched along the Cowichan River in Lake Cowichan. The menu runs from full breakfasts and eggs bennys to waffles and daily dessert pies, with two river-facing patios and a bar area featuring keno and pool tables. It sits within a self-contained complex that also houses BC's Best Buy Liquor Store — a handy one-stop for touring cyclists resupplying on the Cowichan Valley trail corridor.
