The Best! - Edit
River Green is our favourite place to eat - fully vegan, lots of gluten free options for people like me with CD and a wonderful variety of flavours/styles. They also use local, seasonal foods as much as possible and are committed to this to reduce their environmental impact and it leads to an innovative, ever evolving menu.
Read morePros: Fully Vegan, Plenty of gluten free options, Friendly staff

Well worth a visit - Edit
We booked a table here on the back of the 5 star reviews on Happy Cow & were not disappointed. It was hard to choose what to have as everything sounded delicious - such a luxury to have so much choice.
Read moreWe decided to share a starter & plumped for the panelle (fritters served with aioli) which were delightful. I had the okonomiyaki which which delivered an umami punch whilst my partner went for the mushroom wellington which he devoured.
Neither of us are usually dessert people but we couldn’t resist the dessert menu. The orange crème brûlée was zesty & light whilst the rhubarb cranachan was a perfect combination of tart, cream & crunch.
Well worth the 10 min taxi journey out of Norwich city centre. Would definitely come again if we’re ever back in this area.

Never ever fails - Edit
One of the last remaining all vegan eateries in Norwich. I have eaten here many times, and I can honestly say I have never left disappointed. Love and care go into every meal. I particularly adore the Okonomiyaki. Like no dish you'd get elsewhere.
Read moreI have taken my omnivore friends and family here, and they enjoy it as much as I do.
Service is always top-notch with regular visits to the table by head chef Chris himself. Thank you River Green. I hope you're here for many years to come.
Pros: Never lets me down , Delicious food, Always great service
Cons: Only open Thursday to Sunday afternoon

Outstanding vegan restaurant - Edit
This is a lovely place, seeking to use fresh produce sourced as locally as possible. The restaurant itself is spacious and airy, with a modern calm environment. The menu is wholly original, with a good range of choices to suit different tastes. We enjoyed the fabulous Okonomiyaki and Burrito, prepared and presented to perfection. We liked that River Green bucks the 'small plates' trend (although it looked like this available for those that want it), providing imaginative, curated meals.

Amazing & interesting food - Edit
We come here when visiting our daughter in Norwich. I wish it was closer to our home in Cornwall! Even better now they're completely plant based. We had the Japanese pancake which has won awards & it's obvious why - the flavours are so interesting & wonderful, great mix of textures & perfect quantity. The tacos to start were delicious. The red wine we had was excellent too. Service is great & the staff are very friendly. A lovely, calm atmosphere too.

Outstanding flavours - Edit
Really delicious food. They managed to squeeze us in as we passed through from Birmingham on a rainy busy evening which we really appreciated. The food we had was flavourful, comforting, fresh and all locally sourced. Would highly recommend and will return if ever in the area again!

A gem of a restaurant! - Edit
Absolutely incredible plant-based menu!
Read moreI went here with friends for my birthday celebration and wow, what an amazing experience 💚😍✨
The food was out of this world.. alot of it is gluten-free too which was fantastic for me!
Every one of us loved our dishes. I had the delish gluten-free chestnut and mushroom wellington which was the first time I'd been able to have this dish since I went vegan/GF. I also had the meringue sundae which was dreamy!
They also brought me out a yummy birthday brownie! 🎈
Service and atmosphere was fantastic. Will be coming again soon and bringing more friends!
Pros: Lots of gluten-free options , Food is exquisite and full of flavour , Great atmosphere and helpful staff

Wow wow wow - Edit
Absolutely peach of a find. So much fantastic choice it was really hard to choose what to have. Eventually went for the Wellington (out of this world) but also tried the Japanese pancakes which were also superb. Chocolate sundae so so good. Staff very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly. Everything gluten free or could be made gluten free. May be back tomorrow for sunday lunch.

Birthday dinner very very nice! - Edit
Yummy imaginative food in lovely surroundings. Great staff, friendly and informative. As was my birthday i received a small brownie with candle, the staff member made a joke about singing to me and i said go on and he did! Fun. We had a shared starter, two mains, 1.5 puds and a lovely espresso Martini. Would 10000000% go back!

Favourite restaurant - Edit
I should probably leave a review for River Green, as it's my favourite vegan restaurant in the area - never fails to disappoint. The cookery classes are fun and informative too.
Read moreI love that there's no imitation meats, just high-end plant-centric food that is beautifully presented and delicious.
We visited a few days ago for hubby's birthday. We sampled quite a few dishes between the five of us. The okonomiyaki has to be the star dish! Only took a photo of my dessert (Eton mess)
Recommend!
*None of us have CD, but most meals are gf*

Very friendly staff. We had Cauliflower Manchurian, Sweetcorn fritters, and the Sushi and Tempura small plates - all delicious. That meant that we had enough room for the light and creamy Raspberry and Chocolate Tart with Raspberry Sorbet. We'll be back!

Comfort food - Edit
Second time in river green and will be coming many more! Such a delicious food made with love and care and a cosy and friendly environment too, really makes you feel at home. Last time I had haggis and it was AMAZING but unfortunately this time it wasn’t on the menu (I beg you to bring it back), and at second visit had the famous Wellington and oh my god it was GOOD!

The building is beautiful. The menu is great (I’ll post pics when back home) and the food absolutely delicious. The toilets are fab too.
Read moreI had the Wellington with all the roast veg trimmings you’d expect with a Sunday lunch on a Friday night. My companion had the beer battered medley and was very impressed with the tofish. Will definitely visit again when next in Norwich.

Delicious - Edit
Lovely restaurant with friendly, interested staff. The chef himself ambles around to see how you are finding it. My friend was singing the praises of the mushroom and chestnut wellington we all had and wants to make this place a regular Sunday lunch venue for us. Forgot to take photos of the desserts, but they were all great, and smaller than expected, so easy to fit in after a substantial main course
Read morePros: All vegan!, Lots of gluten free, Pretty good disabled access
Cons: No designated parking so may need to park further
