Set on the picturesque Macleay River and bordered by thriving palms, luscious green grass and neat hedges, is Riverside Tavern in South West Rocks. From their position in a tiled alfresco dining space complete with charming, wooden outdoor furniture, guests are treated with a captivating view of the flowing river through the trees, where sailboats can be seen lazily drifting passed. A Modern Australian menu abounds with hearty choices to suit all tastes, along with some especially tempting options for the little ones; perhaps start with duck spring rolls served with plum sauce, or the sweet chilli and cheese bread, before delving into a grilled Cajun chicken burger with salad. As the sun goes down on the Macleay, cap off the evening with something sweet like the warm chocolate ooze cake.
