About Riverview Kitchen

Riverview Kitchen sits on Silver Street close to Framwellgate Bridge, taking advantage of its position above the River Wear with views over the water. Family-owned and independent, it is a popular brunch and breakfast venue, with all its baked goods made on site and a dog-friendly welcome that suits walkers coming off the riverside paths.

The menu leans towards hearty cooked breakfasts and brunch classics such as eggs royale and stacks of pancakes, served through the day. Its riverside outlook and central location, a short walk from the Market Place, make it a comfortable place to pause while exploring the city. The emphasis on home baking and a relaxed, informal setting has helped it build a loyal local following.
