River - Wild at Heart

River - Wild at Heart is a restaurant at 26 Mullumbimbi St in Brunswick Heads, with a food and drink offering shaped by place, produce and personal journey. The venue presents dining as more than a meal, connecting the restaurant experience with the character of its surroundings and the ingredients used in the kitchen.

The restaurant’s identity is produce-led rather than tied to a single named cuisine. Its approach centres on the relationship between food, place and the people behind the cooking, giving River a thoughtful and personal character. The menu is supported by a drinks offering, creating a setting suited to diners who enjoy considered food and beverage experiences without needing a formal fine-dining label.

River also hosts collaborations and events, adding a changing social and creative dimension to the restaurant. These occasions form part of the venue’s wider program and provide a reason for the space to be experienced beyond a standard meal. Event details and booking information are available through the restaurant’s website.

Located in Brunswick Heads, River sits within the Northern Rivers dining scene, a short trip from Byron Bay. The address places the restaurant in a coastal town known for its connection to the Brunswick River and relaxed village character, although River’s own identity is centred on its food, drink and relationship with place.

The restaurant may suit diners looking for a produce-focused meal, couples seeking a considered dining setting, and small groups interested in sharing a meal connected to the venue’s broader food and events program. It can also work for visitors planning a special occasion around a collaboration or event, with reservations available through the restaurant’s booking service.

River - Wild at Heart acknowledges the Arakwal, Minjungbal and Widjabul peoples of the Bundjalung Nation as the Traditional Owners of the land, and pays respect to elders past and present.
